If you've spent any period of time in East Texas, you've probably picked up the vibe that each small town in our area truly does have it's own thing going on. Spend an extended period of time in any of these towns, and you'll really get an idea of what I mean.

Tyler and Longview typically take the W for the traffic, whereas our more rural folks 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.
