Kids rejoice! Children’s clothing store Crazy 8 is headed to Tyler’s Broadway Square Mall this fall. Appropriately described by one fan as “cute, cheap and not so ‘tennagery’ like other stores”, Crazy 8 will provide a great back-to-school shopping option for Tyler parents.

“The opening of Crazy 8 is perfect timing for finding new clothes for the fall season,” said Aaron Yust, Director of Marketing and Business Development at Broadway Square Mall. “Broadway Square Mall is excited to offer this specialty kids retailer to the Tyler community.”

Be on the lookout for Crazy 8 appearing next to Coach in the JCPenney wing at the mall. Are you excited yet? Let us know below…

You may have heard about Craigslist, the spartan-looking community site that is one of the most popular online destinations in the U.S. The website, currently ranked the 11th most popular U.S. website, provides a free method for neighbors and local communities to meet, swap, sell, advertise and pretty much everything else you would want to do. Last year, Craigslist came to Tyler / East Texas at http://easttexas.craigslist.org/.

Sell that used car
Find a full or part-time job
Advertise a garage sale
Meet up for a date
Offer babysitter services
Post a job opening
Chat about…anything!
Barter for some items
Find or offer a ride
Donate some furniture or supplies
Find some real estate
Buy a used cell phone
Adopt a kitten or pet

Of course that’s just scratching the surface! Head on over to http://easttexas.craigslist.org/ and see for yourself!
