This is a small town near Tuscaloosa. I was surprised that it wasn’t as overrun with Alabama Crimson Tide stuff as expected. Just a dull, little Southern town with not much to do unless you hunt, fish, eat heavy or like Alabama football.

Small towns are pleasant to me, but this one is just less interesting than most.

Do you want to know a little secret? I've lived in Northport and I really like to tell people "Roll Tide." Yes, one of Americas most successful Universities is located right here, so be prepared for greatness. I know you may feel otherwise, but this is very beneficial to everyone and I'll tell you why.

I know you think that an institution such as The Majestic University of Alabama is something of legend, but I'll tell you what it isn't. Let's go for a tour if you will of the city of Northport. Imagine all of the foot choices you can think of along with the backdrop of an amazing University. It truly is breathtaking.

Not one to leave out the not so good parts of any story, but I have to say issues of crime are hard to avoid here. I know crime is everywhere like taxes and bad haircuts, but this is one thing that we as a people really must work on.
