Also just like every week, we put together a list of games this week to make your decision about which game to attend just a little bit easier.
September 16, 2011 Just like humans, our cars need to be taken care of. Some people are "do-it-themselves" type owners, and would rather do a quick fixer-up instead of going and spending a ton of money.

Local East Texas Fire Departments in need of supplies. (i.e Gatorade, water, fruit, etc etc). As you know we have many hard working men and women out fighting the wild fires that are endangering lives and destroying everything in it's path. We have been able to contact a few local area fire departments and have a list of where you can drop off some much needed supplies.
September 8, 2011 We're three weeks into football season here in East Texas, and judging by the last three weeks, this is bound to be an unforgettable season.

The Tyler/Longview area, along with many other local East Texas communities, are full of magnificent wooded areas. A wonderful variety of trees really show their beauty when Fall comes about and the leaves begin to change. N
Barbeque is serious business here in Texas. Don't think that throwing a chunk of meat on a grill is the same as BBQ'ing.

Anyone new to Tyler or visiting needs to treat themselves to the array of flavors at Stanly's BBQ will stun the unsuspecting taste buds of all patrons. Taste tidbits after the jump.
