You're a student at UA?
Btw, I actually agree. I mean, with 32,000 students at UA, in addition to the the other residents of Tuscaloosa/Northport (which is around 85,000), there's certainly demand.
EDIT: Btw, if the whole Whole Foods thing is true, I thing it's a huge shot in the arm for the recovery district. Such an investment from that kind of company definitely provides a high level of validation for the city's efforts. Kind of puts to the rest the whole argument between zoning relaxation in Joplin and zoning revision in Tuscaloosa.
