Tyler, pretty town, not much culture

I have lived here for almost 3 years, and while I love Texas, I am very ready to get out of Tyler. It is very conservative and as a single mom in my 30's, I have had a difficult time meeting people I can relate to. If you do not belong to a church, you are out of luck. The Pentecostal and Baptist churches rule here. I don't care about the bar scene at all, but it would be nice if there were some options as far as a place to see some good music. Also, it is somewhat of a cultural void here.
It is very pretty though. Pine trees and decent parks, and the Azalea District is beautiful. Definitely a great place to raise kids, particularly is you are conservative and go to church. I know Tyler is growing, so maybe that will be a positive?
