In a twist that can only be accounted to kismet, the McFarland Mall property reached a milestone on Friday, February 19th the 62nd anniversary of the mall s opening date. McFarland Mall was Tuscaloosa s first indoor mall, attracting shoppers with Pzitiz, Woolco, Butler Shoes, and many more. McFarland Mall is actually the second-oldest indoor mall in the state of Alabama and has certainly seen a lot in its years in the Druid City.
The mall was revitalized in the early 1990s with the addition of an expansive food court and a Goody s department store; however, it wasn t long before the mall fell out of fashion. The portion of the mall that housed Gayfer s (later Dillard s) was torn down in the early 2010 s.

Good luck buying udies at a mall
John Grindrod Guest columnist
During my daily check-ins by phone and text with Lady Jane, so that she’s fully aware of the shenanigans in which I’m involved, recently I texted her my intention to go to the mall to buy a pair of outer shorts and pack of undershorts. While surely not urgent news, I do tend to share such banalities for reasons I can’t quite explain.
At any rate, in her return text, she said something both brief and humorous, as in, “Good luck.” However, after I got done chuckling, I realized when it comes to buying clothing, especially unementionables, guys really do need some luck.
