The law is starting to get stricter on people to take driving school even if they do not get their driver’s license before they are 18. It is good to know the schools that are in Tyler that gives you the best driving education.
I am not going to say that AAA Driving School is the best classes in Tyler but they give you what you need to get your license. They also show you a couple movies of deadly crashes; it is as if they really do not want you to drive n the road.
I really do not want to have to sit there and see people’s arms getting cut off from bad drivers. I understand that they want to show seriousness of driving a car.
I, personally, am not interested in watching “Red Asphalt”, but I guess if your instructors are extremely monotone and hard to pay attention to, that you have to have something that will get these kid’s to listen.
The driving school is a six hour class for one day or you can do the class for three hours for two days. Now you do not really have a choice to take the class or not. I guess it is due to all the crazy teenagers that will not stop texting while driving.
The class is $90 which seems to be pretty reasonable. Now there really is no reason to wait until you are 18 to get your license, you still have to take the driving class.
LOWES, Lindale 3200 S main Street Lindale 75771 903 579 2470
Lowes is a huge building/garden/home improvements store. Lowes of Lindale is easily accessible to the North part of Tyler, just minutes from the I20 or from Hwy 69. Lindale Lowes carries a larger range of product lines and seems less busy than the Tyler store. Add to that a huge parking area, friendly staff and a great garden center and you’ll never want to shop at the Tyler one again! Lowes is well laid out and clearly signed. There are wheelchair carts available for those who don’t want to walk through the store and some fun carts for kids which make them feel like they are driving a car.
You will come across different departments depending on which door you enter. To the far right is the building supplies, lumber and garden sheds, the middle door opens into the home area (lighting, décor, hardware etc.) and at the far left you will come to the garden and seasonal section. At the back of the store are the appliances, kitchen and bathroom section plus a fairly good range of carpet and rugs.
In addition to what has been listed, Lowes sells: plumbing materials, cabinetry, doors and windows, tiling and flooring, decking, roofing, paint, electrical items, window treatments, lawn furniture and mowers, tools and power equipment and lots, lots more! Lowes is always our first port of call whenever we need anything for our home.
The staff are very helpful. They have specialists in each department who are on hand to answer any questions and help you find the products you need. If you need help and can’t find someone, there is a call bell system. I would imagine that many of these people have been tradesmen in that area in earlier years but no longer want to climb roofs or fix drains in their 50s. The customer service is excellent. My husband repeatedly buys things that he finds he doesn’t use and they give a full refund with a receipt, or a giftcard with no receipt. Occasionally we receive special offer mailing and coupons for our next project. You can get a trade account at Lowes too. There are often special offers at Lowes – you will find these in their mailings or on their website. The clearance section is also very good for bargains. My husband has had some good finds on damaged cabinets which are heavily reduced and only need a little attention.
I like the ‘how to’ and advice leaflets on display and the magazine selection which has great ideas for home improvements.
The garden center at Lowes Lindale is very good. They have all sorts of bedding plants, trees and plants plus seeds. Also lots of different soils, mulches, fertilizers and things for pest control, plus landscaping items. The garden center at Lindale Lowes is so popular that the other Lowes in the area (including Tyler and Longview) send their clearance plants here. Bargains abound!
There are a few minor negatives – firstly there is no café in store, but there is Subway, Chilis, Posados and KFC nearby, plus Walmart. The restrooms are well maintained. The second negative is that there is no equipment for hire.
A great positive for us as a family – Lowes have children’s projects twice a month where the kids get to bang nails into a precut wooden creation. We have now have Lowes cars, buses, toolboxes, mailboxes and even bird feeders! All projects and equipment is provided free of charge.
As you can see, we are great fans of Lowes Lindale!
