Too bad they aren't famous for providing a great education over football. 😆

My hometown ❤️ ♥️ 😍 Tuscaloosa Alabama born and raised... country girl living in this Tampa Florida world... I miss my family, be home soon, love you guys. No matter how far I go. (T-town) Tuscaloosa Alabama will always be my home😍😍😍

The university dominates the city. My daughter attends U of A, and we bought a house there last spring. I've only spent about a week or so down there, but I did make it to my first football game this fall. It was an awesome experience that I shared with 100,000 other spectators!

Just for the record - The Alabama Crimson Tide is the most successful football program of the last 100 years, not just the past 20 years. 18 National Championships since 1925.

That tornado of 2011 almost took half the City of Tuscaloosa off the Alabama map. Coach Saban and Miss Terry were an integral part of putting T-town back together in the storm's wake. The Royal Couple helped many citizens in picking up the pieces and starting their lives over back in 2011 and the Coach and Miss Terry became the King and Queen of UA, Tuscaloosa, and most of the State of Alabama.

Tuscaloosa is an Indian name. Chief Tuskaloosa is a black Indian warrior, hence the name of our river, The Black Warrior River. Good job covering the university grounds of my hometown. First time I've met your wife. Ya'll come back and cover some of the annual festivities or something sometime. Roll Tide!😁

Thank you for visiting my home town. I'm really late watching your recent videos. If I knew y'all were coming to tuscaloosa, I could have told you all the amazing old homes and places that have survived the Civil War. If y'all ever have a chance to come here, I would enjoy telling you places to see and visit. I'm looking forward to watching your next videos. Hope y'all have a safe trip 👍

My daughter and son in law live in Tuscaloosa and we spent 3 weeks there last June July. All those scenes are familiar and it was wonderful to see it all again. Lovely people and great food. Hope to return this year from Australia. Hope to catch a game. Roll tide!

Played baseball at Bama. Fell in love with Tuscaloosa right away.

Thank you for this video I have not been able to go back to Tuscaloosa since the tornadoes done so much damage to them I am so glad that it is all up and running it looks so beautiful

My wife and I have been to all 50 states. I was a college teacher, but, chef, butcher, nationally syndicated TV series in 80's, and seen daily in the ABC news in Birmingham. The TV series and seven food books got us from, Pa., to beautiful Alabama, as we did 40 TV shows also each month in all major Florida cities, but did four each month with CBS/WKRG, in Mobile, so we knew Alabama. We hated Phila., Pa., as the people and weather were not friendly, but Alabama was. A large food chain flew us down, and 42 years later, still love the state. Wrote several best sellers on Alabama, and as world travelers, we will never leave this wonderful state, with sub-tropical weather, and friendly people too!T-Town is in our travel section in two of our best sellers, and boy can they play football. Auburn too has a beautiful campus, did a book tour there. Please do a video on that sweet town too! We love our mountains, 85% tree cover and Gulf Shores talcum powder beaches, and award winning restaurants.

I have lots of love for Tuscaloosa. A lot of my family live there and the city has come a long way. When we would visit as kids we hated it but it consistently gets more and more beautiful. My aunt had a hair school named Queen Ester there for a long time but she’s retired living her best life.

Oh, man, oh, man! I'd love to take a walk around these University grounds one day. I mean, the builildings are gorgeous, the whole grounds are carefully planned and impeccably maintained. Wow, just wow.

Hello, I’m in country Australia & it’s been very interesting watching your travels throughout the south US & the history of country, towns & cities. I’ve always wondered about rural America & what the real America is/looks like, not what we are likely to see on the news. I follow a farming family in Alabama on you tube & look forward to seeing their updates, as with you for insight into rural America. Very different to rural Australia. Cheers, happy travels. 7:32

I spent 20 yrs in Tuscaloosa. Since the tornado,slot has changed. Thanks for the memories.

Roll Tide!!! Been a Bama fan since the days of Bear Bryant and Joe Namath! 11-2 record this year isn’t bad. It’s all good as long as we beat Auburn! You know that little school over east in that cow pasture!

There was a big migration from Alabama to Texas in the 1830s and 1840s. My 4th-great grandfather Rolen Box sailed from Mobile to Harrisburg (now Houston) in 1834. The Texas adventure continues... 🌿⭐🌿

Tuscaloosa town has spead out now. The Old downtown is nothing like it use to be. The McFarland Mall on Skyland closed a lot of the shop's in downtown and the University Mall on McFarland Blvd Years later, shut down alot of the McFarland Mall. It's always out with the old and in with the new. Then the Tornado in 2011 that went through the heart of the city also changed everything. The downtown area hold a special place in my heart with all the big name shops that was once there. Every Christmas they had all the place decorated with lights on every building.There was 4 theaters the Bama Capri, Druid , and one other I forgot the name of it. We also had a drive in theater call the Dale Drive In. I miss those days!

Moved here from Las Vegas my first time in 2004 went back but it didn't last. I came right back. This is home for me.

On the first side of the stadium that you passed there are numerous historical statues and a walk of champions.. you have to park and walk it. Also the Denny Chimes you passed has historical hand prints and foot prints of football greats. There is a haunted historical mental hospital further out past Northport called Old Bryce that has a notorious history

Tuscaloosa looks like a little piece of heaven.. and I'm in a big city.."Roll Tide".. to you all!!

Thank you for an awesome tour! Yet another town I’ve wanted to see but am not able to visit in person. Thanks for all you two do!!

my kid goes to school there it's a great place for many reasons, great campus!

I'm envious of the life you guys are leading right now - Traveling with a purpose, eating well, staying at decent hotels. And I, at 75 years old, ended up broke and living n Vietnam . However on my $1200 a month I can actually live quite well here

There are several Colleges in Tuscaloosa besides U.A.T. There's also Shelton State and Stillman, College the College whereas I attended in the late 70's early 80's. Tuscaloosa is a very nice town. I've always admired Tuscaloosa.

Being a tuscaloosa native, I really enjoyed this. I’ve always wondered what other people thought about this old place lol

Tuscaloosa is also home to STILLMAN COLLEGE located on the west end of the city which has a world renowned choir, basketball team,baseball team and debate team. Y’all like to come to Tuscaloosa and only highlight the university like it’s not two other schools in the city that play a part.

Another fine video about ALABAMA and its historical sites sir. Take care and be safe sir. See you on your next video sir.

People down south really love their football team.

Next time you visit, eat breakfast at The Waysider and a late lunch at Dreamland. Maybe tour Druid City….a subdivision of T-town; years ago, it was lovely….not sure what it’s like now.

I'm born and raised there. Home sweet home 🏡❤️

Beautiful city! This is the college town I imagined when I was a child. I did not go to a college with nearly the ambiance of UA! Loved this video!

As a Tuscaloosa native I was glad to see that at 6:41 you got to experience what the town should really be known for... terrible drivers! :)

There are a lot of trees in Tuscaloosa and the University as you mentioned, so both areas are particularly beautiful and scenic in Spring, Summer and Fall. Driving across the Black Warrior River Bridge from Northport into Tuscaloosa is also very scenic with many large, beautiful trees on both sides of the river.

I was in Tuscaloosa in August 2018, I loved Tuscaloosa, good taco place there, Taco Casa.

"They call Alabama The crimson tide, Call me Deacon Blues."

Thanks for the visit. I would have thought that you would have checked out the "Bama" theater while you were downtown. My wife and I have seen the Glenn Miller Band play there a few times in the past. Of course I am an Auburn fan and on my visits I did wear my Auburn jacket but no one said anything thing. They are good people. Before you leave Alabama and while you are on the east side of the state please visit prettiest little village on the plains of Alabama, AUBURN University. Thank you and WARRRREagle!

I just moved to Tuscaloosa county from western NY last April best decision i ever made

Jesus, you guys are adorable! I'm happy for finding your channel, it's really relaxing to watch your adventures through the US!

J R MORRIS TUSCALOOSA ALABAMA--AND OF COURSE---ROLL-TIDE !!!

Welcome to my town. It gets really rowdy on football season and we all know why. Country road and Southern hospitality. I also wish our school education is as good as our athletics department but overall still a very good school to attend to for Criminal Justice, and especially the Law school is top notch.

The speeding car at the end was perfect timing to end the video :)

Our family lived in the country down there I. The early 80s! It sure was sad to see that tornado damage in 2011. Oh yes I remember this small city. We lived closer to Cottondale, but would visit Tuscaloosa quite often. At some point there I lived in the town itself with family and went to Shelton.State. Oh I am so glad to see this place back.up and prospering!

Cahaba, also spelled Cahawba, was the first permanent state capital of Alabama from 1820 to 1825, and the county seat of Dallas County, Alabama until 1866. Located at the confluence of the Alabama and Cahaba rivers, it suffered regular seasonal flooding. The state legislature moved the capital to Tuscaloosa in 1826. Tuscaloosa was the second state capital.

orange tiger cat. You found him. Found Nicky too good video, cool place.. Food looked great

Enjoyed very much thanks happy you show downtown and not things you can see anywhere!

As a Canadian that likes to roam I enjoy your videos. We have been in 34 states and your vid’s will allow us to possibly see the rest of them, thanks for doing this.

Thanks again to y'all for showing me Tuscaloosa. I'm an Alabama fan who's not yet made it there but always wondered what it looks like. Thanks for the videos and be blessed with safe travels.

Texas School Book Depository at 6:35. LOL. It used to The First National Bank. The Jemison Home was once the public library. I live in metro Tuscaloosa. Trust me, are are less charming areas of T-town than the parts you saw.

You went to the better areas of the city.

so the stadium can hold the whole tuscaloosa population almost..... :D

I've been to the Jemison home before, but it was when it was the library and then again when a publisher operated there. That time I got to go into the cupola! I definitely want to see it now. Back when I lived there, there were so many antebellum houses in town that some were subdivided into student apartments. There were also other well known haunted buildings in town. Smith Hall on campus if I remember right, and some antebellum houses that were featured in "13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey" by Kathryn Tucker Windham.

I remember watching the weather channel when Tuscaloosa was hit by an EF4 April 27th 2011

Not once did you show off our beautiful pot holes! We take pride in that 😂😂

I said on another video I'd check this out and here I am. Great video...Roll Tide! 🇬🇧

Beautiful campus

There’s a small town a hour southeast of Tuscaloosa called Montevallo, home of the University of Montevallo! If you ever get a chance to visit, it’s 100% worth the trip. The university’s campus is everything you think of when think of a small southern town- red brick streets, old style street signs, brick archways, beautiful old (and definitely haunted) buildings, and amazing old trees! LOTS of history there on UM’s campus. The town is tiny but charming. Also home to American Village which has replicas of many historical American buildings! I went to UM from 2016-2020, worth a visit if you’re ever in the area!

My hometown. I lived in the Holt area of Tuscaloosa.

9:24. My cousin Gary is a mechanic at that Shell Station on the corner of Reed Street. I'm amazed that you seem to visit all the towns and cities that I have direct connections with. Small world, I guess!

You would have been better off in the restaurant choice by going a couple of blocks down from the Jemison House to The Waysider. Or pop across the bridge and get ribs at Archibald's.

Hello.i am ur new subscrber the reason why I love the way u detail everthing.some other bloggers they don't talk about their contents that is why I don't learn something.but I love ur contents and u also sat the time and thank so much for sharing I am able to see everything now about a lot of different states thank so much again

Cahaba was the first Capital of the State of Alabama. Good video. I enjoyed it.

Looks like our state is kinda peaceful

Southern Ale House is legit. Definitely one of the best spots in town. The shrimp and grits go hard.

Fun fact! Tuscaloosa is also famous for its endless red lights and bad drivers!

We enjoy watching your videos. You take us places where we probably will never go. While you are in the Southeast region, swing by Enterprise, Alabama - Home of the Bollweevel Monument - the only monument in the world dedicated to a bug! Check out Cutts Restaurant while you are there.

Bear Bryant from Fordyce Arkansas,,, my favorite college coach ever

Born and raised in Tuscaloosa. Love my hometown. Most of the University of Alabama was burned during the Civil War. Lots of history here. Roll Tide.

Too bad, when you were at the Jemison home you were right down the street from the historic Waysider restaurant. It's a Tuscaloosa tradition, you could of had lunch there. Check it out if you ever return.

You surely had "Georgia on your mind" later that day you filmed. Vegas gave pre-season odds of 500 to 1 that TCU would win the national championship. Imagine coming so close! Twice glimpsed the street signs for the Paul W. Bryant Drive. Even New Englanders (or some of us at least) have a broad enough general knowledge base to recognize the name of Alabama's legendary former coach. Actually Bill Belicheck holds him in high esteem. The stadium is stunning. Its seating capacity would accomodate, per your figures, every man, woman and child in Tuscaloosa. You did a great job again beginning with filming that indestructable and dignified metal cantilever railroad bridge on massive piers and followed up with showing what was, for me, equally impressive, namely, that part on land leading up to it: a long railroad trestle sitting upon a magnificently built wooden trelliswork. Your customary closing was also perfect-a gourmet quality lunch-and my watching after having had a few beers and a substantially inferior dinner!

Hi 👋 feels like I’m riding shotgun with you. Love your videos. Cheers 🍻 from Australia. ✌️

If you guys ever come to north west Alabama (Florence, area) you should visit W.C. Handy Museum (famous musician, Florence was his birthplace) Helen Keller museum (in Tuscummbia), Fame Recording studios ( world famous, in muscle shoals) and the trail of tears Rock Wall. Alot of history in the Quad Cities (Florence, Tuscumbia, Sheffield, muscle Shoals) Love ur videos, keep em comin ☺

I grew up in west end. I loved every second.

I visited Tuscaloosa some years ago right after a tornado wiped out a complete neighborhood.

City of my Greats!

1923, while a construction worker was doing repairs on the dome of the building, it was set on fire and burned to the ground. the old capital

I am from Indonesia and I always happy watching your videos ❤️

The most exciting thing I remember about Alabama was this girl from California.

I was a college student 45 years ago ... GO NOLES !!

You asked what Russel Hall is, so basically it’s just where a couple classes are, and then ik the 4th floor is just professors offices but i thinks there’s some on some of the other floors too.

OK I love Texas But I love my home state of GA. The game was a slam dunk. That's all I have to say about that. Thanks for another awesome video! I've been through it on the interstate ,so haven't ever go to see it but Tuscaloosa looks like a nice town. Thanks for the tour!

I went to graduate school in Alabama. I was happy when I left, and nothing I saw here has changed my mind or made me feel at all nostalgic for Tuscaloosa.

Try Baumhowers Wings. Downtown Catch 22 and numerous breweries on University Blvd close to Embassy Suites. Best Bars off University Blvd on 4th and 23rd ... Rhythm & Brews Bar

Nice, and thanks for adding in the Crime and Property Crime info... two thumbs up!

tuscaloosa , alabama here i come !

Thank you….such rich information…I’m learning.

One of the few states We have never been to. Appreciate you Folks. Meatloaf w bacon and Jack....😎

I'm new to the area and I must say that I really enjoyed your blog about Tuscaloosa and its rich culture. The history was enlightening, The Southern Ale House has been a spot I've wondered about, definitely a must try and the extremely loud car that DOESN'T need a muffler is custom to Tuscaloosa. I hear them everywhere all day long the louder the better I guess, frightening if you ask me must be a Southern thang. Thanks again sorry for the upset of Georgia and TCH I know the feeling after they beat out my hometown team Michigan

Nice video.!!!

I appreciate you're content but you missed a lot of hidden gems in Tuscaloosa Alabama

An awesome place and yeh it's exactly what I expected it to be ! Cool beans man 😎

When I see those watertowers you have, i automatically think of the tripod aliens in War of the World. :)

Great tour LS!

Hi I am an Indonesian student at UA and have been living here in T-Town. Roll Tide Roll

I'll be the 1st to like this one. I love it when you guys get buzzed checking out the local breweries and distilleries.

Thanks!

In Birmingham, the thunder is starting with possibilty of tornado or straight line winds so you two be very care and batten down the hatches, when the whether gets bad, it will be finished around 1pm.

Thanks Spoda!

so beautiful views...

I am watching right now again 😊
