I know I sound like a senior citizen when I say I can barely remember department stores downtown, but even at 36, I remember as a kid going to Pizitz, JCPenney, and Brown's department stores in downtown Tuscaloosa, not even counting discount stores like Woolworth's.
Now that we have a small, but growing restaurant/bar area around the University Blvd/Greensboro Ave intersection, I'd love to see some significant retail come back to the central city.
Yea, that part of downtown is REALLY jumpin! Haha, one of my friend's brothers is looking at living in a loft above Mugshots next year when he attends law school at Bama.

BTW, I LOVE Mugshots!
