It’s a cool spot right next to the stadium with a ton of memorabilia inside. Been there forever.

Make sure you leave before it gets dark. You may find yourself on the wrong end of an armed robbery or murder.

imagine being so ate up with a football team that you feel compelled to come in just to trash a city.

What I said had nothing to do with football. It has to do with real life experience and what I know to be true. I live less than 2 hours away from that shite hole and can speak very knowledgeable on what goes on in Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa is one of the worse places to live in the entire state of Alabama and it one of the most crime ridden city’s in the state. Now tell me what that has to do with football. Tuscaloosa is a place I have been to many times for multiple reasons. But even knowing my way around a little bit I still do not go away from campus after dark. Once you get away from Campus it starts to get sketchy in many areas of Tuscaloosa. You know this to if you live anywhere near it, but your to eat up with fandom to admit Tuscaloosa is a bad place to live.

I guess if you’re just wondering around past 15th street this is true. Otherwise you’re full of shite

Let’s talk about facts about Tuscaloosa and surrounding area.

-With a crime rate of 44 per one thousand residents, Tuscaloosa has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 23.

-Drugs

-Birmingham to Tuscaloosa- less than an hour away. Tuscaloosa is starting to become an expansion of Birmingham with all the crime spilling over into Tuscaloosa County.

- 15 arrested for Human trafficking January 20 2023

- Former Bama Sprinter (Trafficking Cocaine)

These are the last 2 most recent trafficking of drugs and humans in the last 2 months. I can keep going if you still need more of a reminder of how much a shite hole Tuscaloosa is.

You're on a hyper obsessed speed-run, eh?

What you -don't- know because you don't live here is that our cops are hyper vigilant and always have been. Our arrests are higher "per capita" because they don't let shite slide, fam.

Every real city has drugs..... we have one of the premier universities in the country...

B'ham crime is most certainly not a part of our problem except that Tuscaloosa county is the 7th largest in the state so.. yeah. maybe in the north/eastern parts of the edge of the county, some families are back and forth between bham? idk.

Our OP guy is going to be in tuscaloosa proper in the city. He's not going to a remote sketchy area.

Besides, the mountain commonly associated with the song, "Rocky Top," is covered with meth houses, stolen cars, and dog-fighting. Every place has its ugly side

15.2% of Tuscaloosa families live in poverty.

Alabama Families Poverty rate for the entire state of Alabama is 16.2% by the same metrics used for Tuscaloosa.

Transportation expenses like bus fares and gas prices are 6% higher than the national average. Tuscaloosa has grocery prices that are 4% higher than the national average.
No one wants to live their reason why the house prices are so much lower. Can’t sell houses on par with national average so they just raise every thing for the people that’s already there.
