Tuscaloosa Life

They become a huge part of our families and lives. The industry associated with "companion animals" is a rather large one. In America, estimates show 86.9 million households have at least one pet. In 2023, over $147 billion was spent on the pets we love.

OH YEAH, who doesn't love to dream? If you had a couple million bucks, what kind of house would you buy? What city would you live in? Recently, the most expensive zip code in AMERICA was revealed. Of course, it's in California. WHAT ABOUT ALABAMA?

SAFE. Everyone wants to feel it. As a parent, the safety of my children and grandchildren matters the most. I can't think of any category that would be more important in Alabama schools.

As a parent living in West Alabama, Northport to be precise, I want to know how our local schools did on this list.

Nasty, ugliness is all over Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Why is everyone so UGLY? Yes, I met the nastiest woman in Tuscaloosa. I know her name, BUT I probably shouldn't print it. I want to tell you badly, but I can tell you she’s an assistant manager on the late afternoon crew.

As a fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide, we are so blessed. Sometimes we take our incredibly fortunate situation for granted. I'm talkin about having the GOAT on our sideline every week in the fall. COACH NICK SABAN. On his radio show, Hey Coach, every Thursday night on 95.3 The Bear, he gives us plenty of insight on how the season is going (and will go in the future).

OK now, raise your hand if you hate to save money! Yeah, I don't see you (or anyone) raising their hand. According to rent.com, these are the best, or cheapest cities to live in throughout the state of Alabama. You might be surprised where some cities rank and it could influence future moves.

Hollywood likes to make fun of Alabama. They have for decades. However, in recent years they can't get enough of filming in cities like Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Mobile. Bruce Willis has been in Tuscaloosa as well as Birmingham working on a major motion picture. We have all heard about Atlanta becoming "Hollywood South" but it looks like Hollywood just prefers the SOUTH.

Personally, I like odd. Strange, peculiar, bizarre, eccentric, freakish, quirky things. I think crazy people are happier than the rest of us. They don't know they are crazy. I have lived in Tuscaloosa, off and on, since 1988. I thought I knew lots about Tuscaloosa.

I love haters. I truly do. It wasn't easy to arrive at that place of enjoying the ill-wishers. The turning point for me was the realization that it is a beautiful complement.
