Advanced Computer Repair in Lindale TX

March 30th, 2011

Advanced Computer Repair
I love personal small time computer shops. The truth is you don’t need to walk into Best Buy and other larger electronics stores to get your computer repaired.

If you live in Lindale you will find Advanced Computer Repair right off I20 across from the Country Store gas station and Ellis Pharmacy. Once up on the Hideaway Lake service road just look to your right beyond the banks and you will see Advanced Computer Repair next to a pet boarding business.

Advanced Computer Repair doesn’t just offer personalized computer and laptop repair but also sells refurbished laptops and desktop computers. This means you get these computers for super cheap prices compared to full retail at Best Buy and Walmart.

I stopped by the other day simply to pick up a USB mouse for $10. The service man was friendly, knowledgable and genuinely seemed to care about helping me.

What you get from this Lindale TX computer and laptop repair shop is a lot of personalized expert advice. He will let you know what might be wrong with your laptop and give you status as repair is done. If you simply have a virus or small minor issue he may be able to repair it right on the spot while your still in the store.

Tyler Sam’s Club

January 16th, 2010

Sam’s Club is located in Tyler, Texas off Loop 323 West going towards Mercado’s Mexican Restaurant. I love going to Sam’s Club because you can buy things in bulk which usually means you get the item cheaper and a larger quantity. Besides that my family and I often stop on Sunday after church services and shop around for the things we need for that week. They always have samples on each end cap. I know when we go there I won’t leave starving…because after sampling all the food you have a pretty good snack.

Once I went to Sam’s and they were doing a picture promotion, where they give you a family picture for free, but you would have to buy the rest of the pictures if you want the whole packet. The initial cost was $15 dollars to apply for the shoot. I thought it was worth it, even if you could not afford to buy any of the other pictures that they offered…because I will be truthful…the packages they offered are expensive around $100 for several picture. For those who do not have a problem paying that much, it may be well worth the package price. The experience alone was awesome.

Sam’s has a great food service area. That is another reason I like to go there. They serve some pretty good pizza….or so I have heard from my friends. I am not a pizza lover, but I do trust my friends when they say that the pizza is good there. When you pick up a pizza….a good movie is good to have. I love to look around at the selections that they have for a very reasonable price.

In order to shop at Sam’s…you have to be a member and have a membership card to go in and purchase things. I think it is $30 dollars a year for a card and if you can not afford the card, find someone who has a card and go in with them to check out Sam’s Club’s prices for yourself. You will probably fall in love with it just like I did. They truly have great prices and good quality.

Outside the main store….they have a gas station where you can get gas cheaper if you are a member. You get $.03 taken off of each gal of gas if you use your membership card.

The best I can do is tell you my experience at Sam’s so far and hope you will want to go there for yourself.

Starbucks in Tyler TX

January 13th, 2010

Well what can I say about Starbucks that you haven’t already heard. Starbucks is a wonderful place especially early in the morning when you are having a hard time waking up and have to go to work or school. Starbucks is open early for business if I am not mistaken. I think they open up around 6:00 a.m. in the morning. I don’t think that most people go to work any earlier than that. I especially love the Starbucks that is located around Highway 64 because the people are very friendly and make sure that you are satisfied with their service.

I know that Tyler has several other locations around town, but the one on Hwy 64 is close to where I live and is also near a gas station, Jack in the Box, and Brookshires. If you have to go shopping you can stop in and get a cup of coffee. They have so many selections on coffee that even if I could list them all I would not want to. My point is that they have lots of varieties to choose from. If you like it hot they have it hot or if you prefer it on ice they can do that also and if you prefer frozen they also can do that.

If you are not a coffee drinker they have teas and smoothies. Their smoothies are not that good and I believe they should stick to the coffee business when it comes to drinks. They also have a variety of food that you can order from that are all pretty tasty. Muffins, coffee cake and other snacks are available. They often have a coffee tasting, where they allow you to taste their coffee for free so they can get your opinion on their flavors.

This past Halloween they had a pumpkin carving contest and they gave out candy, did face painting, and other cool stuff. The winner of the carving got a free coffee for getting first place. Well they all got a little something even second and third place. I know that lots of people love to go hang out at Starbucks with their friends while enjoying a cup of coffee. The coffee price could be a little cheaper, but I guess that is the price you pay for the quality of Starbucks.

The cost does not seem to stop people from going and buying a cup of coffee. So I guess it’s worth the money. I must admit that I enjoy going once in a while and getting a cup of coffee. I call it my treat. I can’t afford it that often, but once in a while it’s a must do. Some things are worth paying a little more for. So be nice to yourself and treat yourself to a Starbucks cup of coffee. They also sell gift cards which make excellent birthday gifts and holiday gifts. You could also buy a gift card just to say thank you to someone special in your life. Starbucks also sells their coffee and other items such as coffee cups, mugs, etc.

If I haven’t sold you yet on a cup of coffee, then better not get a job as a sales person or marketing. Now all jokes aside, we all know that Starbucks is awesome and people love hanging out there because it’s the place to be.

Rudy’s

October 14th, 2009

If you are looking for some good Texan barbecue, or a great place to watch the game and drink a cold beer, come to Rudy’s. Kick back and relax in a great, fun atmosphere.

If you are in the mood for the best brisket around, and great turkey and ham. Walk into the great restaurant scented with the smoky smell roasted meat. Pick out your favorite meat and one of their great sides, potatoes, beans, coleslaw, the best sweet cream corn, and potato salad.

Watch them cut your meat just the way you want it, wrap it up for you. Sit and make yourself a sandwich with their white bread. Walk down the bar and pick out what you wanton your sandwiches, pickles and onions. Top your sandwich with the signature Rudy’s sauce, but if you are not daring try the sissy sauce. Both are available for sale by the bottle. You can buy a meal for just one, two, or a whole group.

Rudy’s also has a gas station and a quick stop. Stop in for a small snack, bag of chips, candy or a refreshingly cold Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper. You can also get a Rudy’s T-shirt with fun sayings. Since the gas station isn’t used that often you will occasionally find visitors in Rudy’s in the gas station area yelling for someone to come help them check out for their gasoline fill up. If you walk too close to that area of the store you might even have a patron waiting to pay for their gas yell at you thinking your an employee. Don’t be upset this is all part of the beauty that makes Tyler Texas Rudy’s what it is, a gasoline station and barbecue restaurant in one.

If your low on gas stop on by and enjoy some great barbeque and a great environment to watch television and bring friends to hang out in a great southern atmosphere.
