These outdated laws that we all break everyday could make you a felon in the state of Alabama.

Mercedes Benz of Tuscaloosa is asking for people to try and "Crack The Vault". How do you crack it? Guess the six-digit code that opens the vault. Mercedes Benz of Tuscaloosa is teaming up with the Theresa Burroughs Residential Living home.

Adam Knowlden is an Associate Professor of Health Science and is conducting an important sleep study, in conjunction with the University Of Alabama.

I have never worried about the basics in life, as much as I do at this point. Medication. All medications should be easy to find when we need them. I've never seen SO MANY drug shortages in Alabama or America in my lifetime.

Yeah, I think if I am walking through Publix or Winn Dixie, looking at a few fruits and veggies, and there's an explosion, I would be a tad taken aback. Melons aren't supposed to explode in front of you. Oh, but they are. They really are.

That's right. Chicken raised right in the backyard of homes all over Alabama. However, an outbreak related to backyard poultry began earlier this summer according to the CDC. It is still a problem.

As all experts and the NHC are reporting, Idalia should be a hurricane any second. Maybe it already is. If you have friends, family, or property in Florida and are concerned, here's the latest update.

I love seeing successful, talented local entrepreneurs give back to our community. Tuscaloosa Hyundai owner, Barry Buckner, is truly giving back to Tuscaloosa with some unique items.
