20 Ways to Say You’re From Tuscaloosa Without Saying You’re From Tuscaloosa
If you're anything like me, your newsfeed has been filled with variations of the same meme: 'Tell Me You're from _____ Without Saying You're From ______."
I made the mistake of scrolling Facebook before bed, so as I dealt with a particularly nasty case of insomnia last night, all I could think of was that stupid meme and how I would answer if someone made the challenge Tuscaloosa-specific.
Y'all ready to do this?
This is how you can tell me you're from Tuscaloosa without saying you're from Tuscaloosa:
- You plan your entire life around Bama's football schedule and can reference said schedule without Googling it because you memorized it the day it was released
- You have a favorite Waffle House and refer to it as "the Good Waffle House"
- You avoid Target, restaurants, and basically everything on University the week "the students" come back
- Mr. Tee has saved your life
- You know at least four shortcuts to avoid McFarland traffic
- You know it's SKY-land not Sky-LAND
- You refer to our Mayor by his first name
- Your birthday celebration always starts with pancakes at City Cafe
- You have extremely strong opinions re: Dreamland v Archibald's
- You remember eating at the "old" Hokkaido
- You have a minimum of two Taco Casa hacks (dip the burrito in beefy queso, y'all)
- The entire FOH staff at the Avenue Pub knows you on a first name basis
- You wait at least 2 seconds before the light turns green because you know literally everyone runs red lights all the time
- Orange triggers you for two reasons: Tennessee and road work
- Chick-fil-A's being closed on Sundays bums you out, but the only Sunday restaurant closure that truly breaks your heart is Catfish Heaven
- People regularly ask you to help them get football tickets
- You are immune to COVID-19 and several other transmittable diseases because you used the bathroom at the old Egan's
- You miss Big Bad Wolves BBQ nachos with every fiber of your being
- You plan your lunch break/commute around the Amtrak schedule
- You make the drive to Pearl Garden JUST for the egg rolls
