Tuscaloosa is in an era of unprecedented growth, but as Coach Saban would say, there's always room for improvement. 

My co-worker Kimberly went around the office and asked us what businesses we'd like to see in T-Town. You can see the full list HERE, but some of the top picks were like, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Dave and Buster's.

I totally agrees that we need a Trader Joe's. I would sell a kidney for a Trader Joe's in Tuscaloosa, and I am 100 about that. I'd like to see a Whole Foods, too--but Whole Foods and I have a tortured relationship in that it's just too dang expensive. Regardless, these two made my list

In a perfect world, I'd bring these bad boys in to T-Town:

1. Lush

2. Full-Size Sephora

3. Ikea

6. Starbucks (with a drive-thru, NOT on campus)

10. Lush

11. Lush

12. LUSH (Did I mention Lush? Because we need a Lush.)

15. Lush

What's on your list? I think we're lucky to be living in Tuscaloosa--it's such an exciting time to be in the City of Champions. We got our Milo's back--and now we have all these new and amazing places like Chuy's, World Market, and The Fresh Market; places like Steak & Shake and Whataburger will be opening soon. We're on the right track, people--but we NEED that Lush. Y'all feel me?
