== Fun facts ==
* Tuscaloosa has decent amenities - restaurants, hotels, shopping, parks, libraries, schools, an arboretum, and plenty of other things in the city.
* Tuscaloosa is also home to the West Alabama Battle Academy - an academy that juniors and seniors in high school who are on Pokémon battling teams attend before they head off to college.
* Unfortunate fact: Tuscaloosa is also where the Stand in the Schoolhouse Door on June 11th, 1963, took place. George Wallace, the Democrat governor of Alabama, stood at the door of the Foster Auditorium to try and block the entry of two black students, Vivian Malone and James Hood. His attempt failed, as president Kennedy federalized the state's national guard, and the guard general commanded Wallace to step aside.
