Tyler, TX

Art decorates the Tyler community, from a wildflower mural on South College Street to performances by the Tyler Junior College Academy of Dance. Further adding to this city’s beauty? Tyler is known as the Rose Capital of America, and more than 100,000 of these sweet-smelling flowers are grown here. Plus, food is all the rage in Tyler, from novel concepts rolling around on our food trucks to producers of nationally recognized products, like Greenberg Smoked Turkey, which Oprah Winfrey has ranked among her “Favorite Things.” If that’s not already impressive, Tyler ranks as the largest retail, medical and business center in East Texas, so get ready to shop.
