TikTok Video Perfectly Captures East Texas Town Vibes

East Texas is a very special place. It is rich in history, thanks to the oil boom of the 1930s, and beauty, thanks to the pine trees and roses.

East Texas and its many towns are known around the world for those two things and a few more things like the Kilgore Rangerettes, the haunted and ghostly hotels in Jefferson, and Janie's Cakes in Tyler (thanks to Oprah).

Growing up in East Texas, you know the characteristics and personalities of all the towns that make up the eastern side of the Lone Star State. Even after moving to the area, you can quickly pick up on these unique characteristics.

For instance, Tyler and Longview typically take home the big 'W' because of traffic, whereas smaller and rural towns, like Gladewater and Carthage, wouldn't take that title.

Some of our other towns are simply known for being 'world famous' - here's lookin' at you, Kilgore.

We'll admit, when he highlighted Tyler, we laughed out loud because it's exactly what we pictured. Loop 323 and Broadway are both full-blown race tracks in parts of the city. As for Longview and Gilmer, please let us know if you think he represented y'all well enough!
