Valentine's Day will not only be a day to show your love for that special someone in your life but also to show some love for the revitalization of the New York Store in downtown Tyler. The city of Tyler is hosting a cool event called the Historic Heart Bomb.

Between now and Valentine's Day, stop by Gallery Main Street to decorate a heart with your memories of shopping at the New York Store or just to show your support for downtown revitalization in our beautiful city.

Also, Saturday, February 11, Dory's Gardens, 600 West Rusk Street in Tyler, will have a work station to design your heart.

The hearts that you have designed will be placed on the front facade of the New York Store.
