This pet store has many items that you will find in other pet stores, but, I find they cannot compete with the prices of the newer pet stores that have opened. They are a little pricey, but they do have some higher quality items.
They DO have more, in the way of cages however, so, if you need a good cage for your caged pet, this is a great place to go. They also have a huge selection of fish. They'll also carry pets like lizards, ferrets, snakes, etc.
The people who own it, they are nice.They do seem to care for the animals, because before you leave with one they tell you what you need to do to care for it and what you may need to care for it. Other pet shops I have been to (feed mice or hamsters) just give you the "pet" and take your money. They aren't like that here.
***To update this review***
I came back to edit this review to add in more info. I had a good experience there recently. I went in to buy a hamster because I was having no luck with PetSuppliesPlus (wet tail...days after purchase). I asked the nice woman who is there if she had any males (*they're cleaner*). She said yes, and knew right where they were.
That may not sound like a big deal, but, I have went to *another* pet store and the person helping me pick out one didn't even know how to sex them! I sexed (distinguished male from female) it myself.
I asked her if I could possibly get one that is older because I was afraid of it getting wet tail. She had no issues with that, and explained how the hamsters get wet tail. The way she expressed it makes me believe that she is cautious of that and it rarely happens. (That, and I just *know* she cares about these animals.)
She then found a male for me (and showed me to confirm approval), and then brought him to me to show me what a "healthy" dry tail should look like, on that hamster. (This kind of help isn't the norm for me in local pet stores, is why I am praising her here).
After the hamster (whom we call Hopi) was boxed in his carrier, she gave me pointers. She asked what kind of food I give them. I told her, and she said , "Okay, that's what we give them." (Never ever had anyone, besides a breeder, selling pets expressed concern about a dramatic diet change for them, to me until now.)
I had informed her that I just had one die of wet tail, and she asked me if I clean the cages. Yes, I do and told her so. She said "Good" (which is an expression of concern for this hamster to contract it) and then gave me a tip to clean it something like Clorox before putting him in (so it would kill the bacteria).
As long as I can remember (for, this place was the only pet store in town once upon a time. Been there for many moons.) , this has always been the norm here. Be it the pets or their supplies, they are knowledgeable about the items they sell. You will only find that at this pet store in Tuscaloosa.

I love Stephanie's Flowers. I use them all the time. Ever seen those bright pink and purple vans around town? That's Stephanies. The flowers are very fresh, and the arrangements are nice. In fact, I use them so much, they know my name as soon as I walk into the door. I am so confident with using them, that I have gotten to where I will call my order in. They are really good, and I am sure if you will give them a try, you will see what I mean. I recommend this florist at four stars.

I love going to Bama Fever. Besides books and the like, they have all kinds of Bama souvenirs. All of it is not expensive, and they are open at convenient hours. I love going in there because you automatically get Bama Fever, and that's no lie. Their sweatshirts are wonderful, high quality! I love going there because I know what I get is going to be good, and high quality stuff. They are nice and kind and they will help you find whatever you are loking for. Or you can just browse. I go in to just browse sometimes because you never know what you will find. Recommended store because they are good..really good I tell you! (grin)

Although pricey, these clothes are definitely worth the $$ spent. Unique UA clothing that doesn't scream redneck like other team apparel.

What is it? Is it a mall, an antiques store, or a museum? I dont know the answer but I do know you can do all of the above at the Spiller Antique Mall, they have displays set up that they change periodically on all kinds of themes. And most of the stuff in the place is for sale for some price. I cant shell out thousands for a 57 Chevy but I sure like looking at them. If you have some spare time and feel like looking at some neat stuff i would go here and stroll around for a while. You might even find something you want to buy.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better florist in Tuscaloosa than Amy's. They are a little it pricey, but, still affordable. They have very beautiful and gorgeous arrangements from the small to the large. You can even pick fresh cut flowers. They will deliver locally, of course. What I like about Amy's is, if someone calls in from , say, Canada to order someone in Tuscaloosa flowers, they will take the order and deliver right to your door. Amy's will even order flowers for you from Canada or elsewhere if they don't have what you want in.
The staff is very chatty and friendly which is welcoming. They seem to enjoy what they do, and do a good job at it.

I usually do my Toys R Us Shopping online because sometimes, you can get better deals online than in the brick and mortar store. This Toys R Us is located in the same shopping center as Old Navy in Tuscaloosa (behind Red Lobster).
Well, I usually have a question about an item, or about a sale going on, and more than half the time I was able to get an answer immediately (as opposed to having to chase down the employees), and they were rather nice at this store.
The lines aren't terrible, except on days when they have a REALLY good sale; then it's next to impossible to get out of there.
They have a lot of sales often in their video game department, and more than half the time, they are really good ones (sales).
I've been in a situation a few times where I had an item that wouldn't fit in my backseat OR my trunk without having to tie it down. I have always been able to get "string" from them so that I can do so with no problems.
In all, this Toys R Us is pretty good. Everything is easy to find. I have never returned anything here, so I cannot rate on that however. But, I haven't had any complaints at this store. I've been pretty satisfied.

West Park Florist is very easy to find. They are located on 10th Street in Tuscaloosa. If you are not from the area, you might want to call first as some of the streets and numbers go wild. I liked dealing with this florist because I feel wanted as a customer. They are nice and friendly and willing to help you and answer any questions you may have. I went in, told them what I wanted and what I was willing to pay. They made me an arrangement based on that. It was delievered in a prompt manner. I loved dealing with them because I did not have any problems and the arrangement was well-liked. Recommended florist
