What can six words say?
What can you know about someone from just six words? There is a story, probably apocryphal, that a fellow author challenged American writer and mid-20th century Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemmingway to write a story in six words. Whether or not he wrote it, “For sale: baby shoes, never worn” is the best-known example of a genre called flash fiction. In 2006 Larry Smith announced a call for community members to contribute six word memoirs for Smith Magazine.

A week like no other through the lens of our readers
Last week, East Texas’ pine and lake-dotted landscape transformed into an icy, sub-freezing tundra. The Tyler Loop asked readers to contribute photos of the rare week, and they responded with images as abundant as the drifts of snow. To read about the reasons for burst pipes and how the City of Tyler coped, check out The Tyler Loop’s “Ready or not: How did East Texas face tundra-like temperatures?” by Sarah A. Miller.

This power is East Texas power
Este Poder founders and volunteers go door to door in communities of color in East Texas. 📷 Emily Pinal-Oviedo In January 2020, three young East Texas women — Lina Ortega, Belén Iñiguez and Emily Pinal-Oviedo — created a local, nonprofit organization called Este Poder, “this power.” The Loop sat down with them last week to learn more. “Este Poder’s mission is to cultivate civic engagement in rural communities, specifically communities of color,” Ortega said.

Why Culture ETX owners took a firm stand against antimaskers
Chef Lance McWhorter and Bailey McWhorter realized their dream to open their own restaurant in August of 2019. Culture ETX, located in downtown Tyler’s square, holds some unique titles among its locally owned restaurant counterparts, making it difficult to fit into any category.

Out of the Loop "Best of" Show
Thanks for reading this story. Just one more thing. If you believe in the power of local journalism here in Tyler, I'm hoping that you'll help us take The Loop to the next level. Our readers have told us what they want to better understand about this place we all call home, from Tyler's north-south divide to our city's changing demographics. Power, leadership, and who gets a seat at the table. How Tyler is growing and changing, and how we can all help it improve.
How "The Cut" was a neighborhood hub and source of pride for North Tyler
Noble “Doc” Young at Young’s Pharmacy, a once-thriving local business on “The Cut.” 📷 courtesy Smith Co. Historical Society. North Tyler native Bishop David Houston remembers “The Cut” and its heyday in the 1950s and 60s, when Black-owned businesses were concentrated along Vance Street and Palace Avenue. The businesses sprung up in the early 1900s as a product of Tyler’s segregation policies, relegating Black residents to live and own businesses separately from white residents.
"Maybe because of COVID."
To read this story in Spanish, go here. On a Monday morning in late November, the parking lot at Ruby’s Mexican Restaurant on Gentry Pkwy. was already filled. Inside, Ruby laid a feast before us: enchiladas, posole and her best-seller, doblados. Then, she laid out the events of her life that took a surprise turn during Texas’ Stay-at-Home order last spring.

"This is our time to shine. There is no bigger lesson than this."
📷 courtesy Aleksandra Cregler Aleksandra Cregler’s Social Psychology class syllabus at UT Tyler asks several questions, including, “What leads people sometimes to hurt and sometimes to help one another? What kindles social conflict, and how can we transform closed fists into helping hands?“ These questions are always interesting to the Macedonia native sociologist, but feel more relevant than ever in 2020.
"Nimble and out of the box:" How All Saints Episcopal School is thriving through COVID
All Saints Episcopal head of school Mike Cobb met with me over Zoom in late October.

At the time of this interview, there were three positive student cases so far this year and zero cases for faculty and staff. Please see the addendum at the end of Cobb’s interview with an update made on Nov. 11, 2020.

BRATTON: Howdy, East Texas, and God bless America!
Part of our rebuilding phase is to make sure we are intently focused on what the VFW is here for, and that’s to help veterans.
