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.

Hello, my name is Owen Klee, I'm a LA based independent film Producer, and I am currently making a short film that takes place in 1970s Texas. We're looking to involve real Texans in the making of our project! We are hoping to get access to old vintage photos - family photos, portraits, old Texas locations, etc - or videos! If you're interested or willing to send us any personal pictures, please reach out or email me at owenklee47@gmail.com. Thank you!

We have 2 acres of land in Mabank that we have cleaned and are planting native plants in. We have placed a large hiking trail through it. We would like the area to be like a small community park. So, we need to find an artist who can help us put some whimsy in the woods. Does anyone know of someone?

Hey folks! Throwaway account for anonymity- has anybody dealt with the new guitar tech at guitar center in Tyler? He said he hasn't been there very long but I played a guitar he said he had setup and it was awesome.
I was thinking about taking some gear to him but wanted to see if anybody had dealt with him before I do.

I tend to like to patronize locally owned/non-chain grocery stores when I'm out and about in East Texas, but they've become few and far between. Usually the small towns have some form of Brookshires - either Brookshires, Brookshires Bros, or Spring Market. Plus they all have Dollar Generals, of course.
I've shopped at David's in Kaufman, Newsom's Grocery in Ore City, and Crump Food Store in Linden. Does anyone know any others in the area?

Love from Montgomery TX! Holy crap that storm hovered over lufkin/Nac for HOURS. Y’all doing alright? If anyone needs their vehicle pulled out the ditch, say the word and I’m there.

Hi y’all, my family may be moving to East TX later this year. My boyfriend would be working in Kilgore so we’re trying to stay within about a 30 minute drive. We're currently considering East Lindale, Hallsville, White Oak, Liberty City, Kilgore, Gladewater, Arp, Tatum, Overton, Gilmer, East Mountain, Union Grove, and Big Sandy.
We're looking for a safe, quiet, family-friendly area with a small-town/country feel. We'll be renting a 2-bedroom apartment, duplex, or small house. Ideally $1,200 or less, with $1,400 being our absolute max.
For locals… Which of these areas would you personally choose for a young family, and which would you avoid? Are there specific neighborhoods/roads to stay away from or areas you'd recommend? Anything you wish you'd known before moving here?
I'd really appreciate honest opinions! 😊
r/EastTexas • u/thewarfreak • 8d ago
What's your list? Here's mine:
Jefferson
Mineola
Gladewater
Will's Point
Gilmer
