Review of Tyler, Texas


Tea Party Hell
Star Rating - 7/4/2015
I came to Tyler because I was desperate to get out of the city in Dallas. I was attracted because it was a smaller town back in 2000 but it had UT at Tyler and other higher education. I was happy at first but it started growing fast and they love to tear down what made it unique..the pine trees of the Big Piney Woods. Also it was extremely conservative but I thought I could adjust. It has become the bastion of Tea Party hell. With extreme Baptist insider culture I just can't take this place anymore. I'm looking to move.

I couldn't have said it better myself Lauren. If you are ok with clear cutting tracks of beautiful woods to build garbage housing, if you find apathy and indifference an endearing quality in a community, if you are into the religion of baptist 'churchianity', if you are into valuing as much inauthenticity as you can possibly afford then Tyler is just the place for you. I am also looking to move, and I suppose there will be some troll that will say 'good riddance' and to that I'll quote my grandfather who grew up on a farm and was fond of remarking upon the small mindedness of others "leave the pigs to wallow in their filth, they like it best and it'll keep you all the cleaner". Do your homework before making the move to this place.

As someone looking to move to somewhere more Christian and more conservative, your review makes me think this city would be a great fit!
