I have lived in two foreign countries and practically every state in the union. I moved my family to Tyler in 1998 from Canada. It was difficult at first as Tylerites are slow to accept "outsiders" Once we established our children in the schools, ourselves in the business life of the city and became involved in a church, that changed rapidly.We couldn't be happier with a place to live....well maybe we could do with less heat/humidity, but compared to other places the people here make up for all that heat. Great people, great friends, decent schools(not great...decent),wonderful business opportunities, excellent hospitals,two universities and the best Jr. college in the U.S. Culture better than many bigger cities but needs more. Conservative, yeah but what's wrong with that? Do we have to accept some of the garbage that more "socially advanced" cities are forced to deal with? Sorry, nude beaches, open immorality,public drunkeness and other activities of that ilk are discouraged here. You want that stuff move to San Fran, believe me if you have any sense at all you'll be back in a flash.Been there done that. Bored? Why, with all of the opportunities available here for voluntary services, activities of all kinds,music,theatre,sports involvement,water skiing, fishing,hunting etc. why are you bored. Get outta the house and meet your neighbors!!
No I don't work for the Chamber,I simply live in one of the nicest small city communities anywhere I've been.
