A Special Publication of the
The best.
I know when I’m trying to decide where to spend my money or time, I want to know where I should go. Whether it’s food or clothing, a doctor or lawyer, a new roof or a new car –I always search for information on what to do.
The good news is there are seemingly unlimited options for finding that information online. The bad news?
In many instances, there is simply no way to know where these opinions are coming from – or how many people have weighed in. Or even to what extent you can trust the person or people posting the information.
But we are here to offer a solution.
Our results are in.
You, the readers of the Tyler Morning Telegraph and tylerpaper.com, have weighed in on your favorite businesses and personalities. With more than one hundred thousand votes spread across more than 200 categories, this is the biggest Best in Town edition yet.
And we’d like to think this is the best Best in Town yet, not only because of the number of votes and categories, but because of the 84-page magazine you are holding.
We hope you enjoy this version of the Best in Town, and keep it until the 2025 version comes out.
Thank you for voting Southside Bank the Best Bank in Town for the 6th consecutive year and for the Best Art Gallery for our downtown Gallery 113 twice.
We are also honored to have been voted One of the Best in Town in the categories of Wealth Management, Mortgage Company, Downtown Business, Personal Loans, and Banker - Glen Beck.
Together, we’ll continue to make a positive impact in our community.
