Unfortunately, Post Office Pies has closed. Maybe because of location, or competition against chain-pizza restaurants, but it's closed. Shame too, because it was probably the best pizza in town and served alcohol.
Also, new convenient store "T-Town Market" is coming soon. Will be nice for the students and residents to able to shop more downtown.

Where will this market be located? That's really great news for downtown. Also, those renderings at 4th and 22nd look really nice. Bravo.
One project I wish Tuscaloosa would undertake, and I may have mentioned this in the past, but I think it's probably one of the most worthwhile for the "face" of the city, is a major beautification project all the way down McFarland from the interstate to 15th street.
This is the main entrance to town for most visitors to Tuscaloosa, and it's just a hodgepodge of old rundown shops, strip malls, closed businesses, etc. with pretty much no rules on signage and landscaping or upkeep on property. If we are comparing college towns, Downtown Tuscaloosa and campus are way nicer than Auburn, but what I've noticed at Auburn is that from their interstate exit all the way down College Street (I think it's "street") to campus, it is VERY well maintained with strict signage height limitations, well-maintained streets, relevant businesses with beautiful landscaping.
Now, I know Tuscaloosa is a much older town, and McFarland has been McFarland FOREVER, but I just think it would be worth while, and money well-spent, to make this a beautiful entry into town. Our campus is WAY to impressive to have to enter down a stretch of road that is so poorly kept.
