Tuscaloosa officials are weighing granting incentives to developers proposing vastly different projects - a $57 million resort hotel on Lake Tuscaloosa and a new Starbucks on 15th Street.

The football team was the big attraction inside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday for the annual A-Day Game.
But outside the stadium fans flocked to meet Tuska, a 7-ton bronze elephant statue that was relocated to the northeast end of the stadium on the corner of University Boulevard and Wallace Wade Avenue.
The statue, sculpted by English artist Terry Mathews 20 years ago, was originally erected at the NorthRiver Yacht Club. Standing nearly 20-foot tall, Tuska was given to UA by the Westervelt Co., based in Tuscaloosa. It was moved to its new home earlier in the week, just in time for A-Day.
