I've been wanting to do something with google maps for a while, so I decided to created a google map overlay of the projects listed in this thread and in the South End/South Main Developments thread.
Anyway, here's an overlay created from the data that bluff2085 assembled and posted in these threads: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.g.../ddprojects.kml.
If you want to add or change anything, you can download the kml file (at http://www.gatesofmemphis.com/ddprojects.kml) and modify it in google earth.
Or, it would be cool if the Center City Commission would modify their application, http://www.downtownmemphis.com/domain/deve...ojects_type.asp, to output the overlay file (the kml file) directly, since their data on downtown development will be as authoritative as anyone's (I think).

where is it located, and who is the architect?
The rendering style itself has a 60s or 70s style to it. A guy wearing a business suit and hat should be walking down the sidewalk.
For me, the really bad part of the 60s and 70s would be poor urban relationships -- offsets and surface parking lots. I can't tell what kind of relationship it will have. The right and front look like they're next to a parking lot, but that's probably a hallucination from the rendering style.
