I read the article in Tuscaloosa News a few days ago about the process that is in effect to clean-up and restore the hurricane creek area. I felt overwhelmed with emotion!! That's the key to protecting our city and environments around us! Let's take the "natural" approach. Although, I understand that there is a need for the big machines in some cases. I mean, it was mother nature's wrath that damaged the city; let Tuscaloosa move forward to a more "natural" city. Let's help people feel comfortable and relaxed as they walk through the renovated areas of town. Personally, I understand that the businesses and housing should be at the forefront of being replaced, but also I think green areas should be incorporated. And there are so many beautiful (before storm) areas that could use some TLC and made to look phenomenal; i.e. forest lake, holt-peterson cut-off road only to name a few. I like to think, deep down in the pit of my heart, maybe this storm was a blessing in disguise for this city. Although, the loss of life still hurts my heart so badly.
