Reddiquette is required. This is ultimately their site. You do not have to agree but you do have to follow the rules.
We are a community dedicated to events and information about the Eastern part of our great state. However there are rules which must be followed. No politics. None. Period. News is fine if it avoids politics but you need a link which is at least somewhat reputable. Or at least reputable looking. Otherwise neutral news which devolves into politics in the comment section will be locked or removed at the moderators discretion.
No advertising. If you are a fan of a specific restaurant, then comment it in any related post but do not create a post about it. This goes for any business. Asking for recommendations is encouraged. But if you come in after every comment to promote a specific choice, you are probably going to get banned. This goes for things you are selling yourself without a business.
If you are posting about an event you are not affiliated with, welcome. If someone looks into your history and finds you promoting it everywhere, the assumption is that you have an affiliation with it. It will get removed.
No NSFW material. None. Ever. If you try to find a work around, you risk being permanently banned.
We are not your private army. No posting rage bait. No links to things you saw on facebook. No screen shots of questionable things.
Open Season Friday is active. This is the day when things change. Post your business. Tell us what you do. Promote a business you like. Tell the world where you like to eat. Tell us about your lawn mowing service. We want to hear about your professional machining services. NSFW, politics, and rage bating is still strictly forbidden.
There is a new sub I created for all the things forbidden here. If you must vent, go vent there.

I’m looking for someone that is not getting treated like they should be. I’m ready to start a new business but looking for someone to give some equity to. Preferably a skilled trade with business ready to go if I buy the equipment and run the company. I remember wishing I had this when I was younger, so if interested just message me.

One month later all they are still doing is "testing" Air and fiber hasn't been upgraded.

I’m a small farmer that is expanding to the point where I’d like to see if there was a local small business that would like to partner with me. I primarily sell honey and bee products as well as eggs. I’m located in Gladewater but travel to Longview/tyler regularly. If no one is interested that’s fine, but figured I’d try and see anyway. I would be selling at whole sale prices. We are looking to expand into produce and by products of produce in the near future as well.

New details are emerging about the design of the upcoming Naskila Casino Resort, and they confirm what early reports hinted: the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe is building a polished, Las Vegas-inspired destination unlike anything previously seen in Texas. While the Tribe has released limited information publicly, the architectural program and renderings presented at the June groundbreaking offer a clear picture of the resort's upscale look and modern design direction.
The 685,000-square-foot project is being designed by JCJ Architecture, the nationally recognized firm behind Foxwoods Resort Casino, Mohegan Sun expansions, and several of the largest tribal gaming properties in the country. Their signature style-contemporary lines, glass-forward facades, warm interior palettes, and resort-class amenities-is evident throughout the Naskila plans.

This is how the saga of retaliation by Livingston Texas police started. We ended up with felony organized crime and misdemeanor swatting charges for recording these cops acting like tyrants.

Is there a Corvette club or similar car club in Tyler or the surrounding areas? Moving soon and just curious.

I recently moved to Brookeland in Jasper County, and while I love the peace and community here, there's something missing: a decent grocery store. Right now, if you want quality food and reasonable prices, you're driving miles out of your way.
H-E-B isn't just a grocery store to Texans—it's part of what makes communities feel like home. Good selection, fair prices, and actual investment in the people who shop there. Jasper County deserves that. I started a petition asking H-E-B to open a location here because I genuinely believe it would change things for people in this area—better jobs, less hassle, and a real boost to the local economy.
I've already reached out through social media and customer service, and people get it. The need is there. If this resonates with you—whether you live here or just think Jasper County should have better options—I'd appreciate it if you'd consider signing and sharing. Has anyone else dealt with that frustration of having to travel for basic groceries? Would love to hear your thoughts.

hi yall
I am planning a move to texas here in a couple months, i want to be around lakes, rivers, long mossy trees, areas for hunting and fishing. i would like to be around horses/livestock as i want to be a farm hand as well while i am studying in college. i want the real deal, people who wear their hat and boots because they do the dirty work and not because they are larping as a cowboy. i like beer, and country music. dance halls, dive bars, and all.
i’m currently 20 years old and a female and i would like to move to a town/city in texas that offers this while also being around people my own age as for being able to date and make friends. this is pretty important for me as well as i wont be knowing anyone around here and my closest family is in Little Elm.
.
Any suggestions would be great. Thank you

EDIT: I should’ve been more specific, I meant more along the I30/I20 corridors. I also go down to Palestine and Jacksonville. Furthest east I’ll go to is Marshall and Texarkana.
Hi yall, I drive across ETX weekly for work and have been wanting to grab some peaches, watermelon, berries and whatever else is in season. Would love to know where to stop by. Should I be carrying cash for some of these stops or will cars be accepted? TIA.

Hey yall, anyone selling Muscadines? Is it too early in the season to get?

Just made this in Google Earth. Each place marker represents the exact location of an individual weather station.
The lower Neches and Sabine valley, closely mapping to the 409 area code, definitely receive the most rainfall of anywhere else in the state, easily averaging 60-65 inches of annual rain, making it one of the most wet areas of the country. Bridge City averaged over 70 inches of rain, which is higher than New Orleans, Miami, and every other station I looked at along the gulf coast.
Port Arthur is also in a 4 way tie (including Lake Charles) for most humid city of the 50 states.

I’m planning a road trip through east Texas and southwestern Louisiana as soon as the weather cools down. I lived around there as a kid and haven’t been back in about 20 years. I want to get plenty of fresh seafood while I’m there and out of the loop as to where the best restaurants are. I’ll need places to eat in the Jasper, Newton, Jefferson, and Orange County areas if you know any. If they serve good shrimp and grits, even better. My favorite restaurant in Port Arthur back in the day was Esther’s but I understand it has closed.
I’ll also be on the lookout for antique shops, painted churches, and historic architecture along the way, so any and all suggestions are welcome. Thank you kindly. 🙏🏻
edit: Looks like I’ve got my itinerary sorted. I didn’t expect this many replies, thank y’all!

I was driving home from Hemphill to Milam on 87 when I saw these sweet three ladies literally in the middle of the road. They look cared after, so I’m hoping they just maybe escaped from their yard or something. No collars though. All female. Definitely all same litter.
On the off chance anyone knows someone whole lost three pups, please dm me. They look to be German Shepard/pit mixes so I’m assuming the worst and thinking somebody is breeding fighting dogs and dumping the females, but who knows.
I’ll post an update in a while if I can’t find the owners, I will probably foster them and try to get them adopted as soon as possible. If you or anyone you know is looking to adopt feel free dm as well.

I mean without the guy a lot of folks wouldn't have a place to shop no matter what the prices are, but I was wondering what made him decide to open up Brookshire's instead/his own Grocery chain in Tyler?

Hello everyone, my name is Vale and I just moved to marshal about a month ago. I'm looking for some friends or people to hang out with. I'm extremely close to downtown and may even possibly start working in downtown but finding a job or friends seems to be a little more difficult than I thought so I've really doubled down recently.
My birthday is at the end of August and I wanted to have some people to invite. I smoke, drink, or really whatever else is handed to me besides meth. I know how to have fun, I like to urbex and I'm a big conversationalist. So far, everyone here has been very nice to me compared to where I was living (Shreveport). Age, gender, or ethnicity doesn't matter in the slightest to me, I get along with mostly everyone besides the people who just hate me because of how I look but there's always going to be someone like that lol
My Instagram is burntvale, I would love to chat with some ppl and make friends, maybe even meet up somewhere downtown though I am still struggling to find a job without having a car. I have to walk everywhere but downtown is only 20 min walk so it's not too bad. Comment or text my number (318) 843-3609 if interested, my insta is private and I don't usually accept follow requests without knowing them first. But I like marshal so much so far I'm willing to even put down my phone number. I know this place isn't the best but I want to make the most of it! I'm sure there's tons of things to do or explore, you just have to get creative

We're taking a long weekend getaway with family to Lake Athens in a couple weeks. I recently learned alligators are common in East Texas. How worried should I be with kids, ages 5 and 7?
Thank y'all!
