Right now, there's two spaces available for retail on The Strip. Wingers was my suggestion where Hungry Howies was because its a good sports bar, provides beer, and has good wings. Wingers would add another sports bar on The Strip and has better wings than Buffalo Phils. Would be a hot spot after classes and on gameday.
I don't know about the other spot, but I can't believe there is no BBQ on the Strip. Moe's BBQ is right down University and downtown, but I wouldn't think a BBQ joint on the Strip would take away from Moe's.

Wingers sounds like a great idea. A hamburger spot would be cool too, not a chain tho.

I ate at the new Hokkaido before I deployed.
It's not as good as the old one.

Nice videos the tourism and sports commission put out
Visit Tuscaloosa
Tuscaloosa: The One&Only
Notice the "One and Only" image has no crimson or no affiliation with UA. This is what the Tourism and Sports department is trying to do in terms of separating Tuscaloosa from UA. Certainly Tuscaloosa wants to market its main economic income (Tuscaloosa generates more than $125 million for 7-home games a year. Does not include the other revenue gained throughout football season), but they also want to make Tuscaloosa known for more than just football, that way they can keep people coming in and have a constant money flow. Whether it be the music scene (Goverment's Plaza was a great spot during the summer for live music), BBQ, breweries, Deontay Wilder has certainly boomed the boxing scene, and many others. Downtown's scenic change from the past 5 years has really helped.

Got caught up in city vids on Youtube and saw this one UPS put out for T-Town. Absolutely remarkable!

Hungry Howies old space on the Stip is being replaced by Pieology Pizza restaurant- a California-based pizza chain. Very excited

New TJ Maxx on McFarland. Also, local developer, Stan Pate, is talking about finally building the new retail center where the vacant McFarland Mall is, which will be around 250,000 and 350,000 square feet. Once the old mall is demolished, he said he'll bring in some nationally known anchor store and several restaurants.
Maybe finally we get a Dave-n-Busters?

I was there. Those guys are super nice and they make good beer. I look forward to supporting them. We now have 2 breweries making good beer and 1 super nice brewery with terrible beer. We've come a long way.

I assume you're talking about Black Warrior Brewing Co when referring to terrible beerPosted on 9/26/15 at 10:33 am to Gary Busey

They make pretty good beer. I think hes referring to Druid City. I still go there though. I don't think the beer is terrible

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything bad about Druid City Brewing. Black Warrior is awesome, but I do not like their IPA.
Posted on 10/1/15 at 9:47 am to Gary Busey
I was definitely talking about Black Warrior. I didn't want to slam them because they seem like good guys. They have a super nice place in a great location. Fortunately for them, there is a market here for a brewery like this because there are a ton of people in Alabama who don't know any better. They are fine drinking things like Apricot Wheat or whatever they pass off an an IPA.
Druid City makes amazing beers. Can't get enough of their Lamplighter IPA and Downtown North Porter.

The place that was going up on University was going to be an Asian restaurant but they stopped construction a while back due to lack of funds I believe. The place next to Innisfree is going to be Post Office Pies out of Birmingham.
Posted on 10/5/15 at 11:33 am to RollDatRoll
The construction is still ongoing. Saw them working on it all last week. Either they're building it for available building for a restaurant or its going to be the initial Asian restaurant.
And post office pies right beside Inisfree
