At one time, University Blvd. was the gateway to Tuscaloosa from Birmingham before McFarland Blvd. or Interstate 20/59 were built. Thousands of Alabama football fans drove past the sign on game days.

You can see the old ABC Store in the background on the corner of Lurleen North and University. There was an ugly incident at this Druid Theater on July 9, 1964. Renowned actor Jack Palance was at the theater with his wife and family, when a rumor spread that he was there to support the new policy of integration at the theater. A crowd of between 600-1,000 ensued with a near riot. Bricks were thrown through the windows and fire hoses dispersed the crowd. No one was injured and Palance was given a police escort to his hotel. He denied any involvement with the new theater policy, and said he simply wanted to go to the movies while visiting his wife's aunt in Northport.

(David Oliver, 1881-1970 Description An account of the resource This is the interior of the Bama Theatre, designed in 1938 by architect D.O. Whilldon. "The house of the theatre is actually a reproduction of the courtyard of the Davanzati Palace of Florence, Italy with the orchestra and balcony sections decorated as a Spanish courtyard, complete with balconies and ironwork. The murals on the acoustical panels, painted by Italian-born scenic designer Navino Nataloni, and the twinkling stars and clouds on the night sky ceiling complete the open-air feel of the performance hall. The Theatre was converted to a performing arts center in 1976 and was completely renovated for live theatrical use."
