“Buffalo Phil’s is the best place to eat in Tuscaloosa”, says everyone who has ever even put something as simple as a french fry in their mouth from there.

Phillip Weaver and Bob Baumhower opened Wings & Things, which is now known as Buffalo Phil’s, over thirty years ago. It is located on The Strip in Tuscaloosa, Al, but it was originally located on the corner of University Boulevard and Wallace Wade Avenue. Weaver moved the café about 10 years after his partnership with Baumhower ended.…
It's not like it's a "tramp stamp," (is that still a thing?), but some on social media are not warming up to Ariel Winter's new butt tattoo. It's less of where the new ink is located on Ariel -- like the "Modern Family" star's other tattoos -- than what the meaning signifies. Ariel Winter, 19, gave fans on Snapchat an eyeful on Sunday when she uploaded a partial image of her butt that revealed another tattoo. In the pantless picture, Ariel (we assume it's her; her face isn't shown in the snap) lies on her side and reveals a short inscription. " 'Love risks everything and asks for nothing,'" Winter captioned the grainy image.…
The Badlands formed from a complex geologic setting. The topography that we see today is formed from erosion of the soft and not well-consolidated rocks. The oldest rocks found at The Badlands National Park are the Upper Cretaceous mudstones of the Pierre Shale (Graham, 2008). Overlying the Pierre Shale is the Fox Hills Formation, and overlying the Fox Hills Formation is the Tertiary White River Group. The White River Group contains a paleosol that are bright red.…
An important note about drop for older boys playing baseball: The natural drop of wood is -3. Therefore a 33 inch wood bat will weigh 30 oz. Although colleges and high schools don’t require their baseball players to use wood bats, they do require that players use a bat that has the same drop as a wood bat or -3. You should keep this in mind if you are choosing a bat for high school or college player. You will find our high school and college bats under the “Adult” category for those players preferring aluminum or composite bats and under the “Wood” category for those that like the feel of…

Ten years ago summers for the children of Bushwick promised many things. Some things nostalgic; Puerto Rican Day parades, celebrations of American and Dominican Independence days, cookouts on the sidewalk, people watching on the once-deteriorating stoops, hip hop pulsing through passing car’s speakers, cherry-flavored piraguas, bathing in the refreshing cold water spewing from open fire hydrants. Some things, such as rampant gang violence and the sounds of police helicopters circling the neighborhood, are not as favorably remembered. However negative the image of the barrio may be, the Latino community undoubtedly carved their culture deep into these spaces. The sense of neighborhood that the predominantly Latino population created is in the…

“A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every monstrous creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.” (Dickens) This quote by Charles Dickens means that behind every creature, there will be a furtive and cryptic background behind every fiend. With this, the finding of the chupacabra was a remarkable discovery in the Caribbean and an unbelievable recovery for past agriculturists. With these results, the chupacabra was sighted in various locations with immense evidence from DNA samples to puncture wounds, and complete loss of blood of livestock. In fact, this discovery could be mistaken for the alligator, or the Elmendorf, which have the characteristics of a chupacabra description.…
