Tuscaloosa, Alabama
With a population of 89,000 people Tuscaloosa has quite a history. Named for a Choctaw Indian chief who fought, and lost to, de Soto in the late 1500s, the city today is home to the University of Alabama as well as numerous commerical ventures like Mercedes Benz, who installed its first American assembly plant here.
When starting your search for a Tuscaloosa apartment, know that the area around the university is somewhat walkable but the city as a whole is very car oriented. There is bus service but it runs on a limited hours type basis too. Its location on the Black Warrior River makes it not only a waterfront town but with outlying low mountains, the terrain is diverse and beautiful.
The Crimson Tide
Most of the cultural life in Tuscaloosa revolves around the University of Alabama but there are plenty of venues. You will find a number of museums ranging from children's facilities to fine arts and history. There's a symphony orchestra, dance troups and more. The Bama Theatre is an old, restored theatre which houses not only stage events but excellent films too. Following the Crimson Tide teams makes for great, local spectator sports viewing, and a number of golf courses, recreational water opportunities and extensive parks make this an outdoor paradise.
Biscuits and Grits
Your Tuscaloosa apartment won't be far from any number of styes of cuisine. You can start your days with traditional biscuits and grits at the Waysider. It's a landmark place with loads of U of A memorablia. There are upscale places like the Cypress Inn or downscale places like Nick's in the Sticks, a fantastic steak dive. Barbeque, of course, is a favorite local specialty, so try out the Dreamland Drive-Inn which is nationally famous for their ribs. There are many others but why not start at the top?
Quick Bars
At night, there are two kinds of bars - student bars or non-student bars and both have their advantages. The student bars like the Quick Grill and Egan's are always full of people and music while the Downtown Pub gets young professionals (and a few grad students) and is much quieter on the whole. Wilhagan's is a good downtown sports bar.Of course, once settled into your Tuscaloosa apartment, you'll be out exploring you own new favorites!
