East End resident Sonny Flores takes us on a tour of Harrisburg Boulevard along the stops of the Metro Rail's East End line from the Central Station to the Magnolia Park Transit Center. Along the way, he describes the importance of this area that was once Harrisburg, Texas, and the major industries that have shaped it, including the railroad and the port. Along the way, he details the history and hard work behind sites including: Rice Hotel, Dynamo Stadium, Minute Maid Park, Stewart & Stevenson Blacksmith Shop, Coffee Pant, Rex Supply, Kopriva Body Shot, Eastwood Subdivision, Hughes Tool Company, Murals, the old Sears, the Port, the Railroads, and Gus Wortham Golf Course.
