Nestled on the same block as the Northport 5 & 10, which dates back to 1850, and across the street from Anders Hardware, which opened in 1909, City Cafe would fit right in on the set of The Andy Griffith Show.
Northport, Alabama, is like a little brother to the city of Tuscaloosa, though the people running the place might object to that description. The two cities are side by side, and share the same highways, the same Chamber of Commerce, and even the same people going back and forth to work, attending the University of Alabama, and enjoying local eateries and shops. With 23,330 residents at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census, Northport is only one-fourth the size of its big brother. The origins of the split may be the result of people on one side of town not liking the other side telling them what to do -- so they packed their bags and formed a new city. Can't prove it, of course. It's just a suspicion. That happened way back in 1871, so it's likely the city is over any petulance it might have felt in bygone days. Northport is on the north side of the working Black Warrior River and is quite content to let the craziness of the university stay on the south side in Tuscaloosa. See more
