McFarland Mall demolition: Watch the shopping center come down
Updated Feb 23, 2021;
The demolition of McFarland Mall is underway in Tuscaloosa. See it in the video above and in the photos below.
Property owner and local businessman Stan Pate announced this week the demolition would take place, inviting the community to watch “phase one” of the 2.5-acre plot’s flattening.
Several excavators lined the front of the mall, as Pate and Tuscaloosa City Councilwoman Sonya McKinstry spoke to media ahead of counting down the start of the razing. The diggers then tore into the old Shoe Station and Sticks N Stuff storefronts.
