Radio Shack in Tyler Texas

August 5th, 2010

When it comes to electronics I will be the first to admit that I really do not know what I am doing in the store. I do not know the differences between brand name computers. When I have to shop for my electronic-loving husband, I really have to go to a store with people that do not look at me crazy when I ask what the point of the HDMI cable is. Radio Shack’s staff has helped me many times when I feel lost and confused. Radio Shack has all different electronics for your home, office and for your car. If you are like me the GPS is one of the greatest inventions lately. I have lived in Tyler my whole life and still need directions to get across town. With a GPS you can get turn by turn directions to you destination. It makes traveling less stressful and frustrating.

At Radio Shack you can find the newest and best phones for the top mobile phone services. AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Nextel are offered here. If you are looking for the best service for your area and the best deal for your money, Radio Shack will help you find the best phone and service. CDs are becoming a thing of the past, and Radio Shack is leading this change by helping people purchase iPods and MP3 players and accessories. You can get anything from car chargers to colorful covers and cases.

If you are not like me and know how to take apart a computer and put it back together blind folded, you probably have an even bigger appreciation for Radio Shack. You can find all different kinds and sizes fuses, LEDs, wires, miniature bulbs, and component parts. The staff is very knowledgeable when it comes to all these different parts and tools. So when I am trying to find a gift for my husband at Radio Shack, I can trust the salesmen to know what is the best thing to get him.

You can get great gifts at Radio Shack such as digital cameras and camcorders. You can get the best brand name cameras starting at $50 up to $800. You can get a camera that is small and can fit in your pocket, to a large and professional camera. You can get all the things that you need with your camera and camcorders, such as memory cards, miniature printers and even digital photo frames.

Grown men can turn into little kids again with the Radio Shack toys such as game consuls, toy cars, video games, and hobby projects and kits. They carry Wii and Playstation games and consuls. The newest Playstation 3, Wii, Nintendo portable, and Playstation portable are some of the best gifts that you could get someone. Many times Radio Shack is having sales in the paper or online for these consuls. The hobby kit is something fun t do with your kids as they learn how electronics work. Each kit comes with all the parts to build your craft and easy to follow step by step directions.

I know that I did not list all the products that are sold at Radio Shack. You can find so many things that are needed for everyday life, school, work, your car, and purely entertainment. It is always nice to have people that are willing to help you find what you are looking for no matter if you know what you are looking for or if you have no idea.

Jalapeno Tree Mexican Restaurant

February 10th, 2010

Jalapeno Tree Mexican Restaurant is located at 420 Loop 323, Tyler, Texas 75701. Inside is fairly large space and nicely decorated. Their booths are pretty large. They could easily fit six normal size people, or maybe 8 small people.

Before your meal, chips and two different kinds of salsa are served. A red and guacamole. Kinda spicy so be aware in case you are not a fan of hot stuff! I can not tolerate hot stuff.

Next to us there was a large party for a girl who I think was turning 21 years old. The only reason I am saying this is because through out the night people kept buying her shots of drinks. I remember thinking I never had so many people show up at my birthday. So they are able to manage a large party.

I went there lately and ordered an ala carte beef taco with a side of Charo beans with tortilla soup. To my surprise it was very filling. My brother and my sister in law shared fajitas. The place is great and a fun place to go and enjoy a meal with your family. Food is good, usually the company is even better. The service was also very good.

Here are some examples of food you can find in their menus: Salad and soup, Quesadillas, Fajitas, Grilled Specialty, Star dinners, Mexican favorites, burritos, lunch specials, American food, children’s menu. If all this is not making you hungry I don’t know what will. They also serve a complimentary ice cream with your meal at no charge.

I would suggest the next time you find yourself hungry and around the loop, stop by the Jalapeno Tree and eat. While you are there you can ask them about their Pepper Posse reading and eating for free there. I am sure if you ask anyone who works there, they will be able to tell you more about this. You can also find this information on the back of their gift cards.
