I feel like the last two administrations also listed “traffic signal coordination to improve traffic flow” as priority. Does anyone know if that happened or is this just part of a continued effort?

This store replaces the seedy eyesore Airways Motel, a rent by the hour “No-Tell Motel” with a privacy fence around the parking lot. (I wonder if the site required remediation due to soil contamination.)
Although I would have preferred something else built on this parcel, it’s awfully nice that the Airways Motel is gone!Although they did sell some really nice “swings” there. Hadn’t thought of the symbolism until now

ICON Entertainment's planned neighborhood restaurant/bar at the old Southern Grist location at 1201 Porter Rd. seems to be gaining a little steam lately. Fencing up, and site work underway. We live nearby and really miss the original Southern Grist.
With the popular new toy store and ice cream shop across the street, Vinyl Tap kitty corner and Café Roze next door, that's a hoppin' little neighborhood node with a great vibe.
Looking forward to this being completed as well. Is the old Fran’s building part of this or is that different owner?

Apparently there are some funds allocated for this project in the Mayor’s capital budget that was passed last night.The former Naval Reserve Training Center at Shelby Park (circa 1948) may be transformed into a new community center called the Shelby Naval Commons. The structure, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015, has sat unused for 13 years.
According to the draft business proposal, a full-service restaurant could offer food options for visitors to the park. Public bathrooms could help families on long walks or bike rides. An outdoor equipment retail store could offer kayaks, canoes, or disc golf rentals. A rentable space would host both public and private community events.
All of these tenants would pay rent to operate their businesses in the building. The friends group's business plan estimates a yearly cash flow of more than $100,000 to be invested back into park projects.
The draft business plan created by the friends' group estimates the project to cost just over $8.5 million. The friends group plans to raise $6 million through private donations, foundation support, sponsors, grants, and financing. But first, they are asking for buy-in from Metro.

1202 Gallatin Ave. (rehab of storefront and metal garage into restaurant/bar) update.
Looking NE from intersection of Gallatin Ave. and Greenwood Ave:
Love the re-use. Here's hoping for some neighborhood spots with affordable drinks and food geared toward locals and not Air bnbr's. See "Once Upon a Time in France" for reference.

Excited for more residential in Inglewood. Probably the largest multi family development this far north. This section of Gallatin won’t be half bad, this + whatever happens at 3930, from Sip and Shotgun Willie’s through El Fuego and Inglewood Lounge, down to the new crosswalk across Stratford.
Ground floor retail would have been even nicer and would help activate that stretch of Gallatin Rd.

We have a name. The Gallatin Hotel. Surprised that name wasn’t already taken!
I remember when the owners of Porter Road Butcher were asked why they didn't call the store "Gallatin Road Butcher" (since they are actually located on Gallatin Rd). I think the reply was they didn't want it to sound like a serial killer. My have times changed lol.
This should thoroughly add to the confusion of Gallatin Rd vs Gallatin Ave vs Gallatin Rd North vs Gallatin, TN. Especially when you throw in the mix a bunch of out of towners.

Any idea what 1600 Riverside will specifically be? I heard that they may be turning that small house on the property into a coffee/sandwich shop.
I was wondering the same. Excited, but with Mitchell's and Dose nearby a sandwich/coffee shop seems an odd choice.

Two new zone changing request popped up on Metro’s Development Tracker map. The first is for three parcels owned by Samaritans Recovery Center at the corner of S 5th and Shelby totaling 4.61 acres. Reason for zone changing request is for Multifamily Development. The second is for two parcels at 1106 and 1108 Davidson Street totaling 7.97 acres along the river. Reason for zone changing request is because “neighborhood is becoming less industrial and more residential”.
The parcels that Samaritans Recovery Center sit on are prime real estate (I know, Captain Obvious). There are some beautiful old growth magnolia trees on them that I would hate to see all cut down.

The best part about people that drive these are:
- They don't live here, likely live in Montgomery or Rutherford
- They're not used to driving in urban or dense environments with pedestrians
- They dislike our city for our politics (except for the schwill beer and music made for toddlers)
- If they're here, they're likely driving under the influence because they are too dumb to understand the ramifications
- They are awful people
I drive a full size truck (not that big though lol). I have three children that would not fit very well into a smaller truck and these kids will only get bigger. I live in the urban core and have for over 15 years. I did not depart to the suburbs because I had kids. I am also renovating an older home and needed a truck for that purpose. Speaking of stereotypes, not everyone is in thier late 20's/early 30's with only a fur baby to take care of and drives a Honda Element . The awful person part is debatable, might want to ask my wife

Are you sure there will be ground floor retail? My concern is we'll get one of those hideous Trinity Lane complexes with no retail component, which would be a shame in the heart of the "village".
Ditto. Have the same concern. Even worse, Bridal Suites AirBnB anyone?

I remember when whichever dev bought that, several years ago. What would be a good fit there? What do we need?
Shopping at the Inglewood Kroger can be an unpleasant experience.
I have lived in East Nashville/Inglewood for almost 13 years and have never had an issue at Inglewood Kroger. Do I wish they had a few more amenities? Sure, but I'm still happy they added fresh sushi, lol. I have also had very few issues at Eastland Kroger and I suspect I would have at almost any grocery store, at least occasionally.
The worst Nashville Kroger I have ever patronized was...drum roll please... the Belle Meade Kroger. It was a real $hithole back in the day. The meat always smelled in the summer and there was trash everywhere, all the time.

So does anyone know if the new development at Riverside Village will even have a commercial/retail component? I would hate it if it was only residential. Going to miss the Fond Object building (and also the affordable/kid friendly shows they had in the back area) although not the rest of the brick o block structures. I was all for the proposed development that was shot down by the NIMBY's without a cause.

Saw they're fenced off now. Demolition must be coming soon...
Someone posted on one of the East Nashvillle FB pages asking for workers to help demo. They said it was going to start tomorrow.

I think think they have. So much news anymore, I cant remember what has been reported but I am pretty sure it was. My memory is not what it use to be just because of the shear numbers of projects.
Completely understand, thanks smeagolsfree!

I'm so sad about this. There isn't a better place to throw darts and the bar staff have always been first rate. I never even minded that I reeked of smoke when I left.

I apologize if this is common knowledge or already discussed but has Publix confirmed involvement in this development?

They had a great burger before all the trendy burger joints popped up around town. They always grind the meat right after you order it and it doesn't cost $14.

Behind a paywall, but Bajo Sexto Taco and Emmy Loves Pizza (from Brooklyn) being eyed for Riverside Village. Right now, the developer is seeing if the current buildings could even support two restaurants. No word on the status of Fond Object or the other tenants.
Also, the proposed 61 condo unit development has been reduced to 8 town homes and 19 workforce priced micro-units.
Besides the Fond Object building, pretty sure the rest of the buildings aren't much more than some cinder blocks cemented to each other. There was rumour earlier that Fond Object was moving into the old Bailey & Cato house but I am not sure how reliable that was. I had heard it from some restaurant employees nearby.

Any idea what international company this is talking about?
Developers in East Nashville are in final-stage lease negotiations with an international company that wants a sizable chunk of office space near the popular Five Points district.
Should the deal come to fruition, the company would occupy 25,000 square feet of space at The Wabash, redevelopment occurring at the former Fluffo mattress factory. There, developers Dan Heller and March Egerton are building a four-story building with a 120-space parking garage. It's a sign of the evolving growth in East Nashville, which is across the Cumberland River from downtown and has been one of the hottest parts of the residential real estate market for a few years now. In addition to more office space, several apartment complexes also are under construction.
Heller said the prospective tenant would be signing a long-term lease for all of the office space in The Wabash. The building also contains 15,000 square feet of space for retailers and restaurants.
"The user will be well-known to your readers," Heller said. "They're an international company and this is their first foray into the Nashville market."
Please don't be Air BnB...bye bye neighborhood.

Anyone else notice this structure on the intersection of Cahal and Porter? The one on the right sat open to the elements for a really long time and construction was halted with much of the particleboard uncovered. Now it appears construction has restarted and they’ve also threw up the one on the left. Again, pretty certain all that particleboard on the one on the right was left open to the elements for a really extended time and was not replaced. Buyer beware.
