East Texas is blessed to have some of the best family owned restaurants. Most of these family-run restaurants have been around as long as I have. These days it's refreshing to eat at a place that is lovingly built from families that care about serving the customer.
When the fair rolls around, people get so excited about the rides, foods, and games that they don't always realize all of the other things going on at the fair to get excited about! From competitions to scavenger hunts to concerts, the East Texas State Fair is full of attractions and special events that will appease to anyone.
This morning in Lindale at 4am the smell of smoke was faint but still noticeable by the time I got in the car to leave for work at 7:15am the smoke smell was stronger. The strong winds this weekend turned things from bad to worse when as local area Fire Fighters tried to keep local residents safe
For those of us who have grown up in East Texas, we know that Tyler can be kind of dull on the weekends. But if you do a little research like we did, you'd be surprised at the things actually going on around town. So to spare you from sitting at home being a couch potato all weekend long, we put together a list of things going on around East Texas.
In case you haven't noticed, the city of Tyler has added many new restaurants this year. Well, it's not over yet. Next to open in Tyler is the Corner Bakery Cafe. The restaurant is scheduled to open Monday, October 24th. More after the jump.
We here at the studio have once again put our heads together and come up with a list to help our fans out. Every year the East Texas State Fair rolls through Tyler. The 11 day long event is fun and exciting, but can cause a few headaches, sometime even a few stomachaches
With Halloween slowly sneaking up on us, we have come up with a list of great places to get pumpkins. For those of you who enjoy making the Jack-O-Lanterns with the kids to making real homemade pumpkin pies, we have five places to help you find the perfect one
Labor Day is a federal holiday for us here in the United States (in Canada as well). This holiday is the first Monday in September. Primarily this holiday was for the government to celebrate the accomplishments of American workers
It's one of the best holidays on the calendar -- the 4th of July! It's one of my favorites because it celebrates our nations independence and freedom! We celebrate it by making it a family event by hosting barbecues in the backyard and shooting off fireworks at night. My favorit
We have all experienced it - the guy who cuts you off in the middle of rush hour traffic, the person who runs the red light three seconds after it turned red, the commuter riding your bumper (five feet away at most); in short, bad drivers.
Nothing burns me up quicker than a bad driver. Case and point: I was driving down Old Jacksonville highway the other day, making my commute into Tyler, respecting the speed limit, when all of a sudden, a little red Mini-Cooper zooms past me going twenty over, jerks into my lane, and has to slam on the breaks, since we were approaching a red light. Epic fail of a bad driver after the jump.
