TikToker Uses Sounds To Describe East Texas Towns

Whether you grew up in East Texas or you got here as fast as you could like I did, you've probably picked up on the fact that each small town that calls the Piney Woods home truly has its own special thing going on. Either drive-thru or spend some time in a small East Texas town and you'll quickly pick up on what I'm referring to.

Tyler and Longview typically take home the big W because of traffic, whereas smaller and rural towns, like Gladewater and Carthage, wouldn't take that title. Some of our other towns are simply known for being 'world famous' - here's lookin' at you, Kilgore.

We'll admit, when he highlighted Tyler, we laughed out loud because it's exactly what we pictured. Loop 323 and Broadway are both full-blown race tracks in parts of the city. As for Longview and Gilmer, please let us know if you think he represented y'all well enough!
