TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – Construction is underway adding almost two miles to Legacy Trails. In July 2019, the four and a half mile trail opened, going from Three Lakes Parkway to Gresham. But now, Tyler is working on a new goal, to connect citizens from the south to the northside of the city.

We started at Marfa Burrito,a local institution. Well worth the stop and fun to see photos of Anthony Bourdain, Kevin Bacon, and more celebrities that have enjoyed those same burritos. Bring cash!
We then took a leisurely ride around town to see the …
