Whether you are a newcomer or a long-time resident,
this site provides a central source for Tyler Texas news, weather, maps, shopping, tourism, history, recreation, government and information relative to many
important topics. And we cover much of East Texas as well.
Tyler is the largest retail, medical, and business center in East Texas.
 We enjoyed picking from the bountiful crop
at the Rozell Peach Farm,
Tyler, Texas ... July 2010 |
It is also the Rose Capital of America and the location of the Tyler Rose Garden, the nation's largest municipal rose garden.
It's Summer, the days are hot, and many are enjoying Tyler area lakes. The weather changes quickly this time of the year in East Texas.
Stay current on both nationwide and East Texas weather by tuning to our Tyler Weather Section.
With the East Texas summer upon us, it's time to take advantage of outdoor activities available on area lakes such as Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine and Toledo Bend Reservoir. These lakes are great for fishing, swimming, boating, skiing, hiking, and camping.
And if you're looking for a good, cool place to take
the children on these hot days, visit the Brookshire's
Museum and Country Store or the Discovery
Science Place. Both are always worthwhile, fun, and educational excursions. And don't forget First Monday Trade Days in Canton for summer shopping fun.
Summer is a time to focus on the Texas Rangers and the start of the 2010 NFL season.
In a few short weeks, the NFL Cowboys return to action! And remember the 2011 Super Bowl is in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. Check out our sports section for the latest information.
Even with the downturn in the national economy, growth continues at a solid pace in the Tyler area, from the
Old Jacksonville corridor to West Loop 323 and down U.S. 69
south.
There is exciting news in upscale residential
housing developments, with custom builders such as Kevin
Humphrey Homes constructing
new homes in Cook's Ranch, Graemont, Hollytree, Lake
Tyler, Lake Palestine and other vibrant Tyler
residential communities.
Recently posted on the site are new photos of the Tyler Rose Garden, Gladewater, Edom, Love's Lookout, the Helen Lee Daffodil Garden, and Brenham Wildflowers and College Station.
New sections showcasing the history of Longview, Marshall and Jacksonville became available in February.
Also online are recently completed segments about the East Texas Oil and Gas industry, and Notable Singers, Songwriters and Entertainers and East Texas Athletes and Sports Stars from Tyler and East Texas.
