a stroll through tuscaloosa

I mentioned earlier that I was yet again procrastinating from doing school work. Instead of writing papers and studying for finals, I decided to take a drive around Tuscaloosa. In my 30 minute drive I only came up with 2 photos. Let's just say driving, taking photos, and talking on the phone is not easy. . . I like to multi-task. Anyway, the first photo is of our stadium . . .
BRYANT - DENNY STADIUM
It's having an addition being built at the moment {last year in the dorms we could hear the workers at 7 am . . . not cool!} It should be done by the fall!! We are all so excited! The stadium won't be complete until the statue of Nick Saban is here.
Next is a photo of downtown Tuscaloosa. It's a charming, quaint street with shops and places to eat. Off the road to the left are old rail road tracks with a walking path.
