    Downtown Tuscaloosa

    For many, the city of Tuscaloosa conjures visions of 100,000 screaming fans cheering on the University of Alabama Crimson Tide and its legendary football team. A mile west of campus in downtown Tuscaloosa, Tide football is everywhere, from houndstooth patterns — à la the iconic hat worn by coach Paul “Bear” Bryant — to framed photos of the other,

    Forest Lake

    Forest Lake was once a historic neighborhood true to its name: unique older homes paired with a thick canopy of trees and a lake. But that changed on April 27, 2011, when an EF4 tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa, killing 39 people and causing more than $2 billion of damage. The storm delivered a direct hit to the east side of the neighborhood,

    West Tuscaloosa

    When Tuscaloosa was originally incorporated in 1819, the city consisted of the land east of what is now Martin Luther King Boulevard. But the town ran into delays in laying out the city grid, opening the door for the city of Newtown — which was incorporated one year later and sat directly to Tuscaloosa’s west — to grow more quickly. For a few
