<p>Great news for those without a car, an excerpt from today’s email about Crimson Ride changes -</p>
<p>Crimson Ride changes include the following:</p>
<p>…Adding a new weekend shopping route on Sunday from 1-6 pm, which will transport passengers to popular off-campus retail centers such as Target, University Mall and Midtown Village.</p>
<p>It just keeps getting better and better! Roll Tide :)</p>
<p>Awesome! Yes, it just keeps getting better and better.</p>
<p>Wow! Wow! Wow! Boy is D going to be super happy :)</p>
<p>AL34: Did you son get the email? Just wondering if D has already heard…</p>
<p>This is good news! Now D won’t feel so bad that we’re getting a Target right down the street from us just as she goes away to college :)</p>
<p>Great to know. Won’t feel like I need to send packages with the easy access this will give them.</p>
<p>RobD - I assume the email was sent to son’s Bama mail - we still have it dumping into an alt. address where we caught all of the college info… as long as I’m not getting any of DSs personal email I think I’m going to keep it this way so I can see the goings on :)</p>
<p>I am very excited about this announcement. Hopefully the route will be popular and possibly expanded to other times/areas.</p>
<p>Encourage your child to take advantage of the Sunday Target trip. If kids don’t use it, it will disappear.</p>
<p>Would it include Yogurt Mountain, Best Buy, Office Depot or Max, and the Arby’s with the tree in it? I know some boys that would enjoy those places!</p>
<p>Yogurt Mountain and Best Buy, yes, since they are in Midtown Village. The other two, probably not.</p>
<p>Office Max and the Arby’s with the tree in it would probably be a walkable distance from Midtown Village if one was really wanted to get to either place; Office Depot is near Wal-Mart, so it won’t be near the route. Home Depot and CVS would be a walkable distance away from Target or the University Mall. I noticed today that there is a standalone Starbucks in Midtown Village, which makes me quite happy, especially if they do the treat receipt promo.</p>
<p>With the 1-6pm time frame, I wouldn’t wander too far. may get stranded.</p>
