The Tall Tour Social Network Grows in the USA

Introduction

The Tall Tour is a group for very tall people. It started last summer. Now it is in 19 cities in America.

Main Body

Tyler Bergantino started the group. Many people come to the meetings. In Orlando, 4,000 people went. In Seattle, 750 people went. Tall people talk about clothes and shoes. Tall women also meet men here. Tall people often feel strange in public. They change how they speak or stand. At these meetings, they feel normal. They are not the only tall people in the room. Now, the group is a real company with a boss. The company wants to make a phone app. They want better seats on planes. They want to show tall fashion. They also want to go to other countries like Canada, Japan, and the UK.

Conclusion

The Tall Tour will visit Houston and Dallas in May.
