Whether we are talking about life here in East Texas or anywhere for that matter, things are moving quickly, and nothing stays the same. Life is good, but it’s up to you to make the best of it.

Get out and see all the beauty that is around us, it might be shocking to see how much continues to change all around us. That includes the entire downtown square of Tyler, Texas. 

The plan isn’t new, but work is currently in progress to build a beautiful new Smith County Courthouse. The process is going to take time, but the downtown area is going to look amazing when the construction projects are all completed.

It’s going to be exciting to see the new area and be able to show it off to friends and family when they come to visit.  

There Has Been So Much Change Already 

While we are all looking forward to seeing all the changes when the new courthouse is finished, there are tons of changes and improvements that were made to downtown Tyler before this project got started.

Thanks to the help of Google Maps, we were able to see some photos taken from back in 2008 to show the differences that have been made.
