Tuscaloosa is the name for the county and its capital in West Alabama. Tuscaloosa witnessed the struggle during the Civil War. Much of the place suffered structural damage and economic pitfalls during the time. But now the county is thriving. The county is the home of Mercedes-Benz USA plant that is located in Vance, AL. Other major manufacturing plants emerged to boost the economic growth of Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa, the capital, is located about 60 miles west of Birmingham, AL. The name means Black Warrior, originated from Choctaw. The town sits on the Black Warrior River that flows westward to join Tombigbee River.

Weather-wise, Tuscaloosa shares the subtropical climate of the South. Summer days are hot and humid, while winter is mild and relatively short-lived. While fall days are normally the much-anticipated time to watch the hometown football team plays, spring time is the best with cherry blossoms and other flowers blooming.

From fishing or other water related recreational activities in Tuscaloosa's numerous lakes, or visiting a variety of museums, or discovering the mounds in the native-american archeological site of Moundville, to the annual Kentuck Arts Festival, there are always many things to do in Tuscaloosa.

Queen City PoolQueen City and Jack Warner ParkwayI found something really interesting in my own neighborhood today. A place that I have never explored before, but traveled past many, many times. I mean, I knew it was there, but I had no idea that the place held such an interesting history.From outside it looked like an abandoned building that did not resemble an apartment building or a big house. It just looked like a shabby, rundown oval building. Besides, it was sort of hidden by the shrubb...

Day 5 (continued in the list)Coffee Shops and BarsCoffee Shops- Capture Studio Café is my favorite coffee place in town. It is not located in the strip where everything else is, but the extra distance trades off with great hangout place, a much spacious area, a large TV monitor, live music, arts exhibit, and a very trendy restroom! Capture not only serves coffee and the standard muffins or cookies, it also serves lunch cold and toast sandwiches and salad.  - Crimson Café is a popular c...

Snow!!

I felt like a kid this morning. The forecast had said snow dust for Tuscaloosa this morning, and I got up real early this Saturday morning to welcome it! As I wrote before, it was rare to snow down here. And we had had a terrible drought last year. Most parts of the state were really dry up. Therefore, it was a blast to have snow for the second time this winter. It was the weather phenomenon in the extreme for this year. I know, I know.. most people would think what’s the big deal and would...

Skittlin out the shell, Red Lobster!

I think a title such as above probably makes little sense to most. You'd have to understand two things for it to make sense, and given that two is such a small number, I choose to enlighten you. The first is this: I own a hermit crab, who I have lovingly dubbed "Ralph, the Red Lobster." I know that there is probably something twisted in bestowing the little pink-shelled dude with such a name, but don't dare to analyze my psychosis. The second thing you must understand is that I am one of...
