My wife and I moved here last year. Her hometown is in Pickens county, and she wanted to be nearer her family. We moved from a county that is on the extreme opposite end of this living expense scale, so the cost of living was also a consideration for us. We have thoroughly enjoyed living here. As others have mentioned, the people are genuine, very friendly and welcoming. There's not a lot to do, but I can't imagine a better place to raise kids, and for those who need more to do, there is plenty of activity in nearby Northport or Tuscaloosa (Roll Tide!) Mayberry has nothing on this town (well, we don't have Andy or Barney, but I'll bet everybody here has an Aunt Bea!). Great place to live!
I enjoy the town of Gordo because it has an intimate feeling to it. It is small, so everyone in the town knows each other, and some are related. There are many opportunities for children or teenagers in Gordo, such as Dixie Youth baseball and softball, high school sports, Pee-Wee football and cheerleading, high school band, and martial arts that are taught after school. There is a gym in Gordo that I attend, and would highly recommend to anyone interested in fitness of any kind. The Gym has free weights, weight machines, cardio equipment, a nice bathroom, a kid-friendly area, personal trainers, and a very accommodating owner. Gordo also has several gas stations and restaurants, boutiques, a grocery store, and a Dollar General. If you need something that isn't at one of these places, it is only around 30 minutes to Northport, where there is a Wal-Mart and many more places.
I love the small town of Gordo, I have been living there most of my life. The people in this town are amazing, everybody basically knows everybody & treat each other like family. There’s nothing in Gordo but there’s no place like Gordo. A thing that I would like to see change about Gordo, is to have a better choice of restaurants and job opportunities for people that aren’t able to travel outside of Gordo.
