Read All About It

I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and it is called T-town. It is a University town because it is home to the University of Alabama. We also have a community or 2 year college called Shelton State and a private called Stillman College. Tuscaloosa was once the capital of Alabama. It is next to the Black Warrior River. The city is in the process of developing the river area with parks and recreation areas. The downtown area is also in the middle of a major redevelopment because a new federal courthouse is being built. Besides the University, the city has other major employers – Druid City Hospital is probably the largest employee. We also have JVC and Mercedes International. One thing that Tuscaloosa lacks is malls and major stores. We do not even have a Best Buy or Circuit City. One of the malls is about to close because the only major store closed last year. I would like to see a Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond and a Macy’s come to town. Tuscaloosa is probably best known for college football because of Coach Bear Bryant. People from all over the state name their children after Coach Bryant. My husband and I both work at the University. And that is a small bit about T-town.
