Episode description
La Porte, Texas, in its early years, saw the construction of hotels and various businesses along Third Street. The town quickly developed a strong business community, supported by local families involved in lumber, hardware, construction, and entertainment. Newspapers like the La Porte Chronicle and retail like grocery and ice cream shops also contributed to this growth. These enterprises aimed to establish La Porte as a commercial center while maintaining a balance with the area’s quality of life. This early commercial activity laid the foundation for the town’s development.
