Azalea Trail Residents Asked to Take Down Political Signs for Now

TYLER — The Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce is asking residents along the Azalea Trail to take down their political yard signs until after the Trail concludes April 8. Chamber officials say the city will be welcoming thousands of tourists. In 2011, the estimated economic impact for Tyler was over $2 million. According to Chamber CEO Henry Bell, “This is one of the most beautiful times of year in Tyler and we really want the Trail route to look its very best.” The annual event officially kicks off tomorrow morning with a ribbon cutting and opening ceremony beginning at 10:00 at the Pyron Home located at 212 West Dobbs.
