A section of Tuscaloosa nestled between McFarland Blvd and Druid City Hospital (with the University of Alabama campus to the west) and Five Points on its eastern edge, Alberta City is struggling to update its image. AL Hwy 215 runs thru the heart of the Alberta neighborhood. A dozen or more traffic lights break the road into tiny blocks making it tough going any time of the day. Numerous old-style motor hotels line the eastern end of Alberta, many touting such modern room features as air conditioning and color tv!
Alberta is in the midst of a city-funded revitialization project. |
