Hi all! Bama 2004 alum and current Midtown Atlanta resident. I am frequently on the ATL thread, but stumbled across this T-town thread and am now intrigued. =)
I must say that I think it's exciting all that's happening in downtown Tuscaloosa, and it seems that everyone is pretty much on board for making it a lively and unique experience for residents and visitors alike.
In regards to the condo project by the stadium, while ANYTHING is better than the delapidated apartment buildings that are there now, I'm a bit disappointed that it was so scaled down. Dynasty Park was a fantastic idea and would still do VERY well. The hotel portion I think is very much needed, as I believe the Four Points Hotel is no longer an adequate on-campus hotel. UA should build a 250+ room 4 start property ON campus. Auburn's conference center hotel is a really good size (though now kind of dated), but it's served them well, and with UA now as huge as it is, it would do good business throughout the year, especially if a significant amount of conference space was included.
