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.

Ross Clothing Store in Tyler

October 14th, 2009

If you are walking into an over crowded store with woman digging elbow deep into material and throwing clothes across the room and onto the floor, most likely you just walked into Tyler’s Ross store.

Row after row of over crowded racks of clothes. I do a lot of shopping at Ross. I love to find a cute outfit for a great price. It does get really frustrating stepping over half the clothes in the store and shirts getting stuck in the wheels of the shopping cart. They have cute clothes woman of all sizes, misses to juniors. Woman’s clothes over runs the store and pushes the men’s section into a small corner. You might have to dig for the perfect outfit that you are looking for, but the price will make it completely worth it. Find the cutest prom dress for $40 or a cute summer dress for $10. But make sure that there are no holes and stains, or a shoe print. Even find cute shoes but they are never on the right shelf (if on a shelf) or even with the matching shoe.

I can rarely find a cute outfit in the kids section that does not have a rip or stain. The toys’ boxes are always taped back together and the shoes are never in the right sizes. They have all different toys, blankets and all other baby necessities. If you find something that is cute in good shape you are going to find it with a great price.

The men’s selection is pushed into the small front corner of the store and most of the clothes are odd or odd sizes. It is really hard to find a nice outfit there for men. But every once in awhile you might find a decent shirt, or jeans, or even a pair of unmentionables.

Ross has all different things to clothe your house. Find a great gift for a friend. Find great dishes sets or fun picture frames. Also you can find fun candles and beautiful candle holders. Flavor up your living room by decorating your plain couch with fancy pillows and cushions. The pillow aisle is pretty much impossible to stroll the cart down because there are usually more pillows on the floor than there are pillows on the shelf. Find a cute blanket to bring your furniture and house together.

Finish off the perfect outfit with a fun scarf, or hand bag. Keep coming back to Ross to see what is new and on sale. If it is cold out find a cute hat and gloves, and if it’s a sunny summer day find a great pair of sunglasses. So find a great deal and have fun digging. Ross in Tyler Texas really is the best place to “dress for less”.
