I am new myself, although lurking for a long time. Welcome. I hop back on the road playing music soon, but I check out this site to keep informed.

Going back on the road soon, so I won't get to see much for awhile,  but wonder what happened to the apartments on McFerrin and Main or 703-705 Woodland?

The state removed all Asbetsos years ago as I recall. Back in the 1980's when I worked along West End, I saw Asbestos removal crews removing it all the time even in buildings newer than the Cordell Hull Building. They used it up until 1973.

Spent a lot of time in the Gulch. In high school I worked for Ted R. Sanders Moving and Storage which was located as I remember close to the north side under the bridge. Those were the days over 35 years ago! I kept one of my drum kits there and practiced before work in the summers.

Spent time in the Cordell Hull and Snodgrass. I remember going to the 29th floor of the Snodgrass when it was the American General Tower. A family friend was CEO at the time. I also remember when the building was built as the National Life and Accident Insurance Company Building. I am getting older!

Thanks, I may consider participating at some point. I first started reading this site years and years ago, but had no real time. I am a musician and not in town much.

It would be a travesty to lose this building.

I have been in Casablanca many times, although I live on the east side. I have probably seen your group there having coffee. I am not much for meeting people from the internet, but if I ever see the group, I may say hello if appropriate.

That is a very fine project. It will offer stunning views of the city, especially from the upper floors.

Yeah, I think you're in the minority.  I really like this design.  With every project there's this question of how it addresses the street, which often comes down to small details you can't be sure about until it's built.  I would hope this structure would truly tie the two levels together, providing another pedestrian connection between the two road levels. 

 

I've seen better looking stilts, though:

I have been to this building, and it is stunning in person. As I recall this is an art college and the piles, or support columns represent either pencils or crayons.

BTW the opposition claimed 70% voted to keep the Fairgrounds as it is, but in reality that is NOT 70% of Davidson County Nashvillians, but 70% of those who voted in the last election, and that is a big difference. We all know voter turnout for local offices and issues is not always a large turn out.

The latest proposal as outlined in today's media is far better than the previous model.
