Area 51

September 9th, 2010

Growing up in Tyler sometimes there seems like there is not much for a teenager to do. A group of people felt like they should start a dance club for teens to hang out at and have a good time. The only people allowed in the club are teenagers that are 13-17. The dance club Area 51 is located at the old movie theater off of fifth street across from Brookshire’s and The Scroll Christian book store. The old cinema has been redecorated with colorful lights and a large dance floor.

If you are a worried parent you can ask the staff to meet with you. They are willing to give you a tour of the dance club. They do not allow anyone older than 17 in the club during the nights they are opened and that includes parents. The club has security provided by the Tyler police department. They do not tolerate any drugs, alcohol or tobacco products. The dance club seems to be pretty safe for the most part. They also have a loose dress code, they simply ask that the girls to cover their unmentionables and that they do not have underwear sticking out. They ask that guys will not show their underwear nor wear really baggy pants. The club also asks that people do not wear base ball caps.

The club sells soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drink. The snacks that they sell are chips, cookies, ice cream, and candy. They have all types of the most current music to dance to. If you want to you can put in a special request in to the DJ. They have air hockey, crane machines and a couple pool tables.

There is a place now that teens can go and that is secure for the most part. Area 51 does reserve the right to search bags and person. And if they feel that your actions are inappropriate or if you are dressed inappropriately they can ask you to leave. If you are still concerned you can contact the owners and talk with them.

The Scroll Christian Book Store

January 12th, 2010

Of all the bookstores in Tyler, there is one unique example which operates not only as a ministry to individuals in the local community but also to the other ministries in the area. The Scroll Christian Bookstore is now located at 2752 East Fifth in Tyler, and is a non profit Christian Bookstore. Not only is merchandise sold at a discount, but any profits go to Christian organizations like Living Alternatives and KVNE Christian radio.

In terms of inventory the store carries all manner of literature, music and video. They offer both contemporary products as well as old standbys, particularly in respect to literature. Not only will customers find works currently in vogue but the Scroll also carries the classics. The home school and curriculum section is the best in town. Their Tyler Texas staff has extensive experience in education and has an excellent working knowledge of all the products they sell.

The store’s Bible, commentary and theology departments are much broader and more complete than some or the other Christian book stores in town. Even customers of a more traditional orthodox persuasion like Catholics or Episcopalians have a pretty good shot at finding material of interest.

The staff at the Scroll is very friendly and more than willing to help. The store makes for a great afternoon out, so stop by have a free cup of coffee and browse for a while. Odds are you’ll find something you didn’t know you needed. For more information, go to their website at www.thescroll.org
