TYLER — It's the third year for the Ton of Toys Drive in Tyler benefiting Toys for Tots.  Monday was the first day for the event which takes place in the Broadway Square Mall's parking lot.  The Breeze radio host Jammin' Jimmy Olson will live inside a pod storage unit until he raises a ton--- or 2,000 pounds of toys for less fortunate kids in East Texas.

This year, bicycles are needed especially since they're the second thing kids ask for the most for Christmas.
