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.

Why Alabama? Tuscaloosa? Northport? Birmingham? More on that later. Yes, a famous killer of two children, Paula Sims, is on her way to Alabama.

I MAY Never sleep again. You may not either if you hate spiders as I do. I’m not the only one. I have a witness. I’ve been back in Tuscaloosa for one week, and I have loved it. However, as I looked for a new home, I encountered a creature that honestly stopped another sweet Tuscaloosa resident and me in our tracks.

It’s not clickbait. Mark my words because one day, this is going to happen. Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a city that I have lived in, off and on, since the 80s. Oh, how I love Alabama and, in particular, my Alabama Crimson Tide.

I bet you wonder which restaurant, huh? Before I reveal the offending, horrible place, I am very fair. The other issue, is that the place has two Tuscaloosa locations. One, I have never been inside. I gave the other location a few chances. I'm convinced after talking to several other Tuscaloosa natives, there is no hope.

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?

No, no, no, no, NO! This columnist could live the rest of my life without being made aware of another story about spiders. I know I'm not the only person living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with a deep hatred of spiders (and many other critters) that I will never get over. Very few people love spiders.

Who’s got the best fries in Tuscaloosa? I'm talking about the absolute BEST. What do you think? What comes to mind as you read this headline? The ones that are PERFECTLY salted and delicious. Can you taste it yet?

I was doing some shopping at Walmart, the Northport location, and it was SO frustrating. What should have been a quick ten minute trip, turned into an hour long saga. All due to the LOCKDOWN of every product in the store. It was entire aisles of common items.

It’s not clickbait. Mark my words because one day, this is going to happen. Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a city that I have lived in, off and on, since the 80s. Oh, how I love Alabama and, in particular, my Alabama Crimson Tide.
