Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 2nd of November.
Good morning, Longview.
💼 Business
82-year-old Eloise Twiler, who has run Moose Market at 1403 Clearwood Drive since 2009, announced she will retire and put the restaurant up for sale (she hopes a new owner will continue her tradition of cooking from scratch for loyal customers).
The eatery remains open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
🌲 Environment
Gardening expert Neil Sperry answered local readers’ questions on caring for a persimmon tree with coiled roots, addressing dying shrub problems caused by possible scale insects, and helping a Meyer lemon tree bear fruit by suggesting repotting and improved sunlight.
He also advised on pruning crape myrtle sprouts from the roots—steps aimed at resolving root-binding issues and boosting growth.
🏛️ Government
U.S. Rep. Chip Roy announced his candidacy for attorney general at the Gregg County GOP office in Longview last week.
He said he will fight for conservative priorities including border security, pro-life measures, and anti-Sharia laws if elected to strengthen Texas law enforcement.
🏥 Health
Texas insurers are raising Affordable Care Act premiums by 35.2% on average for 2026—now, a 40-year-old’s benchmark plan costs $661 compared to $489 before tax credits.
Lower-income Texans may face steep hikes and could drop their coverage as enhanced tax credits expire at the end of this year.
