The vehicle is loaded and I am T-Town bound!

I hope to make it in time for the Sugarland concert tonight, but if not, I'll be there in time for the after party!

Roll Tide!!

T-Town photo of the day: The Indian Hills Country Club near The University of Alabama campus

Located directly across the Black Warrior River from the University of Alabama campus lies the Indian Hills Country Club. IHCC offers many amenities; golf, tennis, swimming, dining, fitness, banquets, receptions, etc. But the most important asset? Its members. From founding fathers to their grandchildren, generations share in 50 years of storied tradition being part of the "Indian Hills family." Family is what separates IHCC from other clubs in Tuscaloosa.

Saban's Statue ready to be unvieled...

And a special note to all of the self-proclaimed classy Aubarn fans who are currently plotting a retaliation in the living room of their double-wide on Wire Road: take a good look at the rent a cop on guard, sitting directly behind the statue. He's all bravado, baby!

T-Town Photo of the day: Tuscaloosa Federal Courthouse in downtown

Soon to be the "old" Tuscaloosa Federal Courthouse (as construction is scheduled to wrap on the new $67 Million Dollar courthouse in July) and not to be confused with the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse in downtown, the Tuscaloosa Federal Courthouse is located in downtown and houses the US District Court, US Bankruptcy Court and Social Security Administration office...
