I never thought I'd see the day that my hometown would become a destination for people of other countries lol. I miss home for sure...

You are spot on with the pros and cons!! The traffic is awful and the drivers are idiots. I’ve lived here since I was 15 and I just turned 71. When I moved here, we were around 50,000. 1967. Regardless of the cons, I love this city and wouldn’t live anywhere else. It has grown gracefully over the years maintaining its beauty and dignity!!

Another pro is the healthcare in Tyler. You need not go to Dallas to get state-of-the-art care. We have 3 large hospitals and yes they stay busy which is frustrating. There are long waits for some things but overall it is a huge Pro. Another con is the wages paid for the common person. Minimum wage or slightly more is the norm. Most spend more than half of their monthly income when renting an apartment. That sort of defeats the low cost of living. If you attend the Universities or have a high income if you transfer here, you will do well financially.

We have lived in Tyler just over a year and have found it very difficult to meet people if you don’t go to church. My wife and I also work remote so that doesn’t help.

Need to change the saying Tyler the Rose city to Tyler the Red Light City because they have so many lights you will spend a huge amount of time sitting at Red Lights.

The pros to living in Tyler Texas is that it is in East Texas. Lakes, Forest, great weather, honey, fishing, and halfway between Dallas and Shreveport basically. The cons of living in Tyler Texas is THE TRAFFIC. I live in Palestine Texas 45 miles south of Tyler, Palestine is very quiet and if you want entertainment you can visit Tyler and then come back to Palestine. LOL 👀 👍🏻 I'm not sure really why you bring up a small portion of the city that needs some care or is a little run down, because every single town and every single City that exist have older parts and that can be a little rundown or need some TLC. That is a constant everywhere.....? Other than that, pretty good video.

Nice video man! I just moved to Tyler in May. Not as hot as my hometown back in Arizona, but it gets a little uncomfortable. Real estate and cost of living were a big motivator for me. I love it here and I don’t wanna charge a thing about it.

My bf and I are hoping to move here in a few years. I love nature so all the trees and I love the heat! 😍

I been in Tyler my whole life and to see someone from a different country judge my city is weird but interesting you did a good job I love my city we are a small town and the traffic is getting crazy due to so many people moving here we have a new builds of restaurants and apartments We’ve always been known as the retirement city because it’s so peaceful I just hope it stays that way but when Tyler is being put out there to the world hope it doesn’t attract the wrong people it’s nice place to raise a family and we have loads of retirement homes and hospitals you’re right this is not a party city at all 😂

I was born and raised there. Went to school at John Tyler hs. That town has had a crime problem since I was a toddler.

Con: terrible dating scene, barely a nightlife and people can't drive. You're right about the brick streets, it worked over 100 years ago with horse and buggy but at least it's in the Azalea District & downtown. Working in Tyler is great and moving my home office there but I rather stay in Whitehouse or Flint.

I used to live in Tyler, it's a beautiful city and yes I agree the traffic can be crazy. One thing once, I thought was crazy is they have motor cops but who knows maybe I'll live there again someday. The nature is beautiful as well

Loved the video! We used to have a club scene before covid. Although, I think it went downhill a bit before then as there were more people that would head up to DFW for a wider variety. Give it a few years and I am sure something else will pop up. Something that I did when I was looking to buy our home in Tyler, was to research the historical data on tornado paths. There is a handful of sites that you can find that show the history and path of past tornados dating back to 1950 in Tyler. There have only been a few since 1950 that have touched down in Tyler since then, most of the tornados that touch down and travel in the area happen outside Tyler. Either just north or east of Lindale or south of Tyler towards Whitehouse. That's not to say we don't get our share of hail and microbursts during supercells. I actually like to go out during the storms to watch them. I even took a few classes/lectures about inclement weather and spotting. I personally think the storms add a certain charm to the area, but then again my wife does say I'm a little crazy...

Also your right about the fishing scene, I went by near by Chandler and Coffee City it reminded me of South Carolina

One thing I don't here people talk about is the car seen. there's a bunch up under ground car clubs and we do party just, on privet property ;) hmu ik the spots

Very informative

good video , Ilived in tyler for years then moved to ky to care for my mom and seens IM stuck here ,but so ready to come back to Tyler ..

I live in Tyler, urban-dwelling in a small motorhome. Surviving. Hope to see you around

Great video!

Thanks.

Hi Ronnie, Some thoughts on your vid: You're right, Tyler has a small town feel but has everything a big city could offer me. You're right 2.0 that the people here are friendly. There is a huge difference between how strangers treat me here in Tyler and Dallas and other big cities. You can't even stand in line at the grocery store without someone chatting with you. I've even had people try to talk to me at a stop light. Personally, I like that even though I'm a shy introvert. 3.0, Yes downtown is so much easier to navigate and park than the big cities, love it. About traffic, yes, growing, and during Christmas time people come from all over neighboring cities and counties to shop. I really like the growth here, Tyler is alive. I've seen other small towns that are dying and it's a terrible feeling. So, I'll take growth and traffic any day. You showed an overhead picture of heavy traffic, where was that video taken? Heat? Yes, Texas, and we all have air conditioners in our cars and houses and stores, with the tiny exception of a few antique malls. Rain? Yes. Once we got 11" !!. The first thing I noticed different about Tyler 20 years ago when I discovered it was that flowers and grass grew here! Going west like to Abilene, almost everything is dead and that depresses me. Tornadoes? Yes, but I've lived in North Texas for 55 years and have never seen a tornado. The first question my friends from California ask me is "How do you tolerate the tornados???". After I answer that I ask them "How do you tolerate the earthquakes and mud slides and taxes and forest fires and riots and poo and needles on the streets??". haha. Cost of living, yep really good, but also there isn't as many high-paying jobs. Bugs? ok, I'll buy that. Snakes? Yep, 6 years ago I walked outside at midnight barefoot to pull the garage door down and stepped on a copperhead. It swelled up and I limped for a week. I set out a minow trap with an egg in it and caught him. True story. Scenery/greenry - this is one of the big reasons I moved here, there's something about driving down a road with 60 foot pine trees hovering over the road that lowers my blood pressure. When I visit DFW the concrete begins to wear on me. Party scenes? - ok, I didn't know that was lacking because it's not what I do, but you're right, anyone can drive to DFW and get probably whatever scene they want. Just stay overnight and don't drive impaired. BTW, I saw ZZ Top here in Tyler last year, and Ringo Star IN TYLER a few years ago. Last con - some areas are old looking. Yep, every city is like that. Yep, you have to find the place in each city that you want to be. I find it fascinating how some cities grow to the north, some to the south, and the forces that drive that. Usually it's land pricing based on how water runs. Welcome to Tyler Ronnie.

You didn't mention the Cowan Center (great productions with name entertainers as well as educational speakers, etc.), the colleges, nursing school, the multiple hospitals, country clubs, etc. Now that you've been here for a bit, it's time to do an updated video.

I have family that live in Tyler and i live in between Tyler and Dallas in a small town so i would go there during the summers to stay with my aunt and cousins.

Going through the visa process to move from lincoln UK to tyler to work in ems and can't wait , great video

Never thought I’d say this but… Makes me homesick 😅

I've always loved Texas. My parents are from Texas. I would like to move to Texas and get out of Kansas but I feel I'm too old (55) to make such a move.

There are a lot of cool spots for night life now. Also if you go 15 minutes south to Whitehouse TX you can explore the hometown of Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes

Clear Springs Seafood Restaurant for the best menu in Tyler.

Texas - Martinez v. Anderson County; Everyone should google this case though it is taking place in Anderson County, Smith county also uses these practices to imprison poor people in this county.

We are thinking about moving to Tyler

Your office is quite literally in my neighborhood!

From there. Good place to live

I moved to Whitehouse about a year ago now, but im in Tyler constantly. Im on the road like everyday (im in a 2 door sports car) and when ever i make a bad mistake people usually just move out of the way. Theres only 1 account where someone tried to speed past me and cuss me out but i judt dropped a couple gears and passed them 💀

I MAYBE N CALI RITE NOW BUT ITS 903 ON MINE TYLER TEXAS ALL DAY ERR DAY

Grew up in the area, used to be a lanparty place off Broadway. Gave all the bros the discount because they though my friend Eddie was good looking.

You got the Mexican restaurants wrong lol lived here all my life try Rubys, Don Juan and la placita your welcome

It also has an obesity problem there are more restaurants where you can eat and shop rather than places where you can go and work out I've came across some rude people because I love to ride my bike especially in the summer that's how I lost 250 pounds in 5 years

I live in Lindale texas. Right next to tyler

Great video I’m an expat from uk I’m living in nc thinking about moving to tx

I moved out of Tyler recently and someone stole all of my valuables. I am diligent about locking my vehicle. It might have happened at The Villages or at the Flint Post Office. Possibly at the Recycling Center. If anyone saw anything, please let me know. Thanks!

Try a video out at The Boulders at Lake Tyler

Your playing the same music that my sons sensory videos use lol

Haha glad you like Tx haha my friends and brother and his family live out there and whataburger is a Texas treasure and haha I wouldn't be surprised if you've met them yet lol ya never know but yes Texas has some friendly people but it's true don't cheese them off or you may get a little rude lol.. anyway if you ever visit Denton Texas nice place to visit but definitely stinks to live here lol..and Tyler doesn't have gyms because of all the outdoor activities and all

You vill need to eat ze bugs someday. Und zo don't view zis as a negative. - Klaus Scwab

There has been attempts to bring night clubbing life to Tyler they just have not worked. Texas and Alaska have a on going dispute over who has the biggest Mosquitoes. LOL!

8:30 The south part of Tyler is on the "Right" side of the Railroad Tracks. The Northern part of Tyler is on the "Wrong" side of the tracks. This guy has the BirthRight, assigned to him at birth, to be on Right side of the Tracks. The City of Tyler doesn't spend a lot of money on people born with BirthWrong, assigned at birth, to the wrong side of the tracks

I hate whataburger

How much is minimum wage in tyler?

Did you live in Louisville before?

It is a small town oh, it doesn't just feel that way that's what it is! Stop telling people to move there LOL

Tyler is 50,000 people too big.

I was born in 1947 in Tyler, raised there. One of the best days in my life was watching the city limits sign get smaller in my rear view. I was heading to greener pastures, Vietnam. I thought to myself, nothing wrong with Tyler that the death of a lot of the city fathers would not fix. They died, but alas, their kids apparently filled the role, no difference I am told. Now the grandkids are up to bat…I wonder? Will it be the same old bigoted, hypocritical Bible Trumppers? Living in Fort Worth by way of Houston, both are preferable!

Tyler has a very Amerikkkan history best you didn’t cover that but this is a video for whites folks so hey

I thought it sucked.

omg what the hell are you doing in tyler?! haha

Tyler women are all mud shks
