Tyler, Texas
Had a hearing in Tyler and just had to take some photos:















































































































































































Hope you all enjoyed this tour of Tyler. I think it's one of the best mid-size cities in Texas.

Fabulous-looking residential area -- it looks like some of those are old-money houses.

The Liberty Theater facade is great!

Never seen shots of Tyler, had no idea there were some pretty tall towers there.

The teddy bear statues are cute.

Tyler looks decent and well groomed. Good looking neighborhoods and DT for a town its size. I've never been there.

Cool pics, Boris, thanks.

Tyler is nice. They're one of the leading producers for roses. I remember going there a few years ago and smelling the mix of pine trees and roses in the air. God that smelled good.

I knew there were some talls downtown, but I had no idea the residential was so attractive. Good stuff Boris, thanks.

What a gorgeous neighborhood. I've been to Tyler and liked it, but didn't see that particular area.

I reviewed the photos a half dozen times before I noticed the little cat posing on the sidewalk.

I love the residential shots, Tyler looks like a decent little town, with the exception of this beast:



My goodness that is an ugly building. I never imagined something like that could exist in America. It looks more like a late-60's communist apartment block. What is it anyway?

Great pics, Boris! I've never seen pics of Tyler before. I've passed through the area on I-20 many times en route to Dallas and didn't think there was anything worth seeing in Tyler. I was wrong.
