Harry Hines Boulevard is a major street in Dallas, Texas, (USA), to the west of Uptown.
It was one of the first 'highways' in Texas, and is named for Harry Hines in honor of his work helping to get roads paved in this part of the state. Harry Hines served on the Texas Highway Commission from February 15, 1935, to April 11, 1941, and for the first two years as its chairman according to the records at the Texas Department of Transportation.
Harry Hines Boulevard forms the main part of the route taken by the Kennedy motorcade to Parkland Memorial Hospital immediately after the assassination shooting in November 1963. It is home to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Today, the Harry Hines area is home to a wholesale district filled with wholesale warehouses.
Harry Hines is also well known for its Korean Cuisine, as the Asian Trade District is located along the street.
