  1. Once again the time has come for the monthly forum meet. Attendance has been light as of late. I didn't make the last meet because of work and that may be the case again this month.

    I would love to get some feedback from you guys, so please give this some thought. Do we need to have forum meets every month or would you rather do it on a every 2 month basis? Or something other. I thought about a poll and I may do one a little later. Lets get some discussion first to guide us.

    Why do you come or do not come?

    Do we need a better time that Saturday morning?

    Do you want a formal program or just keep informal as it has been in the past?

    Just give it some thought and if you have not come to a forum meet, please consider it just to meet the other forum members.

    For the lurkers that have not joined the forum, you are invited too. It is open to all.

    Saturday morning, Provence @ the DT library on Church st. 10:00am for early birds adn 10:30 for the meet to start or about that time.

    So what exactly goes on at these forum meetings?

  2. You guys need to stop being so hard on Monsoon. She is entitled to her opinion. It just seems to me that we here on the Nashville board are a little bit too sensitive to opinions other than ours, but I've seen plenty of you guys on the boards of other cities talking down their projects and ideas as well, so, "let he who is without opinion cast the first stone."

  3. He should just buy the church immediately south of the site to build a seperate hotel tower and shrink Signature back down to 700 feet to be honest, at least it'd be more density.

    I wouldn't mind seeing three towers around 450-500. These days, height doesn't really matter, it's been done every where. Style is what really matters. China is building a tower that is only around 500 ft tall, but it is amazing in stature. I mean, look at batman tower, a few more towers in our skyline with great style would look great.

  4. Signature will not be constructed ever. I would love to take bets on its construction. I cannot believe some still believe it will break ground this year. That is simply laughable.

    I don't really understand how it is laughable. Improbible maybe, but not laughable...I have confidence that Nashville will find a way to make it happen.

  5. Just remember that Atlanta Mero has over 5 million people in it. That is at least 2 and a half times the number of the Nashville Metro area which BTW is even larger in land area than the Atalanta area and surrounding counties. I think Flowers is right on track with the above comments. Signature or some other super tall will happen when Nashville is ready.

    Exactly. I remember someone saying that Dubai has the same population as Nashville and look at their # of supertalls. We have to remember though, that 1.5 million is crammed into a much smaller area because of a surrounding dry desert. I want us to get a big supertall, but only when we need it and we won't be embarrassed as a city because we can't fill it...

  6. I just got back from the big ATL. WOW! Do those guys not know we are in a recession? They have highrises popping up everywhere, and not just in downtown. They have areas that have just as many highrises now as the old downtown. We need to get our Siggy going...
