On a more positive note. Permit pulled for a half milion on the old MAC's Market (1305 Galatin). I guess Oasis Market will happen.

My guess that this rise is rent is not going to elicit the same response that Ben Folds generated with Studio A. Surrounded by likewise brown fields in an industrial area, the highest and best use argument might be hard to prove right now. A play to get dialogue started for a possible sale with the other leasers to force PSC's hand?

Driving down Gallatin Rd today and noticed in the building that has been hosting East Nashville Underground (or former "Matty's Alley") is "Hail Dark Aesthetics" looks like a curio shop. And also a new sign today - "East Side Live". This looks promising, a neat event space. I would like to see this area activate as a little destination. It's right down the road from the proposed Oasis Market. foobar's been around there for like 7 years or so.There is some building stock nearby that's promising.

The Baker Brothers apparently own that building as well. One of the brothers posted on the East Nashville Facebook page recently that they are seeking to lease to new tenants.

Wasn't sure where to put this. I went to a great little fund raiser in McMinnville a few weeks ago called Sip & Saveur and was taken by the quaintness and beauty of the old town area. I snapped a few pics with my crappy camera phone. There were some new businesses popping up and some revitalization happening. They still have their old theater, Park Theatre, and according to my sis-in-law, they are in midst of fundraising and renovation. Sort of reminds me of a little section of Asheville NC. There is even a very large hill that might pass for a mountain behind the city street/water tower (although it did not come through in my pics) http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3427-img-20140927-183744/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3430-img-20140927-183756/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3428-img-20140927-183539/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3433-img-20140927-193035/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3434-img-20140927-192247/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3435-img-20140927-192255/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3436-img-20140927-193310/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3438-img-20140927-193424/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3439-img-20140927-193435/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3440-img-20140927-193440/ http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g55193-d3614213-Reviews-Collins_River_BBQ_Cafe-McMinnville_Tennessee.html http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3431-img-20140927-185219/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3442-img-20140927-201029/ https://www.facebook.com/ParkTheatreMcMinnvilleTN http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/gallery/image/3441-img-20140927-194136/
