An updated shot from today. The glass is looking good!

This would be cool and bring a lot more activity up the alley which would be good for Alley Taps since it's kind of hidden back in there.

If Amazon is going to have space for the Libertarians to cage fight the Anarchist will they have to get a special zoning exemption?

[Station District Towers (two 31 story residential, two 34 story residential/hotel, and 5 other future phases), Sept, 2019 start]

Holy smokes this is great!  I love the future phases shown on the campus diagram on the last photo.

The Nashville Tree Task Force will be planting 50 trees tomorrow on Shelby Ave.   It should make for a nice addition.

It's our ace in hole for the Amazon HQ2 pitch- Hey Amazon I here you like boxes.  We've got the boxes!

I can assure you it was much louder and more disruptive than a next door neighbor mowing their lawn.  I live on a busy street that has the constant hum of pedestrians, traffic and emergency response vehicles. It's one thing to have a few emergency vehicles go by a few times an hour with sirens blaring or fireworks that go for 20 minutes, it's quite another to have the sustained level of noise pollution we were getting last night. 

As far as hearing world class music, it's mostly the just the low end that cuts through. Didn't bother me that much but I can see how people that have kids or have to be up early for work would have a problem with it. 

It's usually not that bad so maybe Beck was just rocking extra hard.

I live about a 1.5 miles from the amphitheater and from inside my house with the TV on I could hear it clearly enough to tell which songs he was playing. I actually turned my TV up to drown it out.  It seemed to be louder than most concerts coming from Ascend but I like Beck so I didn't mind this time. 

[Paramount Tower, 65-68 stories, approx. 750', 200 units, $240 million, Church Street Park]

We'll just have to build a few other tall boys to go with it!

[Ritz Carlton Hotel /Residential (46 stories & 32 stories, 240 rooms, 150 condos, 185 apts,), 560 capacity garage]

Adelphia!  Yeah that's definitely it.

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

Agreed!

I like to joke with my SEC friends that Vandy has a bigger endowment than their schools and could have a good football team if they really wanted to but instead spend their money on "silly things" like children's hospitals.

It looks like it was designed by Mugatu.

I drove by it this morning and thought to myself "my god, if your going to do something that ugly at least make it subtle!"   Uggh.

Johnny Fritz has a great song and video about the Stadium Inn.  (warning- the video is appropriately creepy and almost NSFW and involves a guy in his whitey tighties)

I'd be glad to see it go though.

"Come one, come all and watch the world cave in. Right through the windows of the Stadium Inn"

 

[Soccer in Nashville]

We could just put it on top of the convention center, there's already grass there!   Just level it out and add some bleachers.

Sorry, those are all the terrible ones I can think of off the top of my head.

That's weird. I was just hanging out on the Crying Wolf porch earlier this evening rocking my Rocky Mountain National Park shirt and Clemson hat. We might have been talking at one point.

[Repurposed/revitalized historical buildings in Nashville]

A few years ago there were some homeless that had set up on the roof of the Banner building. They could cross over onto it from the parking garage next door. They eventually got caught because there was so much trash left on the roof but for a while they were living the dream, oblivious that people in the surrounding office buildings could see them. 

[City Parks/Greenways]

Burgess Falls is also really good and an easy hike in.

[Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, 40 stories, 542', $400 million]

The Pinnacle building just had a tall dude stand in front of him at the concert.  Sorry Bro'.

Those are great.  I can't wait to see Rone's when it is finished.

The groundbreaking for Cayce Place Apartments will be at 10:30am on Friday, Aug. 21st at 544 Summer Place.  The 68-unit apartment building will be the first construction part of the Envision Cayce Master Plan.   I'm excited to see this area get redeveloped!

[Inside 440 - Berry Hill, Midtown, Vanderbilt, 12S, WeHo, Fairgrounds, etc.]

Yeah I drove by it last week and was impressed with how far it has come already.  Poor Mellow Mushroom looks tiny next to it.  I think this is one of my favorites going up right now.
