Hibachi restaurant
Federal credit union that anyone can join
Crazy Gnome Brewery blows us away with their beers
Someone, anyone local, make a decent pilsner and sell it in 6pack tallboys!
The Roxy opens as a Belcourt II but focuses more on music documentaries and streams concerts live (Bonnaroo, Phish, Dead & Company, Coachella, etc)
Another Billy Strings show on the best side of the river
Construction to start on the Riverside Village
Slowburn opens a second location closer to us
Another bridge
Turn One closed down leaving Fran's as the last true dive bar, please don't let it close.
More development in North Inglewood
Construction to start on Madison Bowl at the old Kmart
Give all my energy to the Publix construction dudes, let's get it done fast!
More development on W Trinity
More development on Dickerson Rd
Love it!
My Eastside 2020 Wish List:
1400 Fatherland gets approved for a new development and the stone house gets razed and we get a tiny mixed use development there.
1311 Fatherland - the long dormant house at the same corner gets renovated while we're at it! (The one that somehow was allowed to have vinyl siding and vinyl windows installed??)
Bill Martin's gets renovated...I'm pretty open about what I'd like to see here, just anything except a dormant one story building with white graffiti all over it and a temporary pay parking lot.
1700 Fatherland - the big church that's getting converted to a music studio - hopefully that turns out awesome
Frothy Monkey East - hope this turns out well also
Publix and Starbucks - please and thank you
Bridal Suites - it implodes before construction is completed and is rebuilt as something classy
The lot where the used car lot used to be close to The 5 Spot - just hope it turns out to be anything nice
Hunters Station - this is an amazing development, wish it continued success

1400 Fatherland St - a unit that I’ve been following for years (and years and years) looks like it’s up for a rezoning. I’m all for any positive change here, fingers crossed. Looks like architect is Kennon | Taylor
Did anyone attend the meeting last Thursday Dec 12th regarding the 1400 Fatherland zoning change? Not sure how to find any notes etc, I was out of town traveling for work

M Cubed has released images for its proposed 3 story, 21-townhome, 1,500 sq. ft. ground floor retail development at 1012 Main St. (at intersection with Forrest Ave.). Vehicle access will be via the back alley.
Powell Architecture + Building Studio is handling design, which is primarily brick. It will require MDHA Design Review Committee approval . The Metro Historic Zoning Commission will also need to approve, with a Wednesday Oct. 16 meeting slated.

Oddly enough I like it...beats a rotting building at least. Don’t like the splotch of color aka “mural”?

A new doughnut and coffee place has opened up in the place of the former Mr. Hats on Gallatin and they appear to be open for business

HG Hill applied for two building permits last Friday related to the new Hill Center Greenwood - one for a 31,000 sqft Publix and the other a 2,100 sqft Starbucks at the corner of Sharpe and Gallatin. They started the Stormwater Permits process back in May.
Random thought thread alert:
1) So, after us being basically 100% sure it was going to be a Publix, but no official announcement, then relatively recent rumors that the development could be at risk......does this mean its officially official that Publix IS definitely coming?
2) I don't know exactly what to make of the Bill Martin's news. Glad to see it getting a facelift at least based on the rendering.
3) I thought it was interesting to see 1629 Fatherland sold and then put up for commercial lease? I suppose this house was zoned mixed commercial/residential, and the previous owners used it for its residential purpose, then sold it, and the new owners are choosing to use it for commercial? (That's my layman's guess?)
4) I've been out of town for work for a while, any progress with the church at 1700 Fatherland?

The proposed development at the corner of 16th and Ordway is on the schedule for the September 12th planning meeting.
What is happening, is Sweet 16th being torn down and this being built in its place? Or is this across the street in the vacant lot?

Gotta chime in with the disappointment on this. That's a full acre of space that's gonna be dedicated to four shops and a giant parking lot. Which means it will be targeted at businesses pulling in traffic from outside the neighborhood instead of building local amenities. And it won't add anything to the residential stock in a neighborhood that already blew past the working class and is now edging past the top of the middle class. If zoning is a factor in this decision at all, it's absolute negligence on our part as a city. Houses are selling for $1.2 million down the block, the neighborhood school is re-segregating, and we're gonna keep sitting here using outdated zoning to artificially restrict efforts to meet that demand? This is a textbook example of the real decisions developers make between adding housing or just renovating and going up-market, and all the demagoguing about affordable housing (and Barnes fund blather) does nothing but obscure the real mechanisms we have to allow the market to provide supply to meet the demand.
I live on Fatherland, and I always look forward to watching the neighborhood evolve. It's pretty discouraging when most of it seems to be locked up by exclusionary restrictions.
I live at Fatherland and 17th and I’m fully on board with exploring additional uses for Bill Martins

Some excavation? I passed by there yesterday and the whole site of the old house had been totally cleared to dirt all the way to the alley. One of the big problems with sites like this in Nashville is that owners fail to get proper permits, especially for tree removal. I would like to know if this site clearing was properly permitted and what, if any, penalties would be applicable for removing its several mature trees? Anyone have a copy of the specific code regulations are? In many locations, the required landscaping for development is based on how many trees of a certain caliper are required to be replanted based upon the diameter of the removed trees on site. Too often, we get a building , lots of asphalt and crappy K-mart shrubbery. I would think that in an old area with so much restoration and designated historic overlay, that this site should not have been so severely bulldozed. Comments?
Yes, some excavation. I believe the house has been gone for 2 years or so. So they appeared to be performing additional clearing of a lot that had already been cleared. Perhaps you're mainly referring to tree removal, I cannot recall how many trees were there and might have been removed.

Some updated plans for the former church at 1700 Fatherland.
Wow thanks SO MUCH for sharing. I'm becoming more and more excited about this, walk by it twice a day. I'll have to compare the current to the drawings but so far so good!

Some exterior work is be performed on the old staffing building at 606 Main Street. Anyone have info on this? No permits have been applied for or issued, but the for lease sign is no longer on the building.
I also noticed the land to the left of that building was getting some excavation / civil work this week, where the bungalow-style house was a year ago,

I do not like casinos personally, but depending on the owner/development/design they can be very lucrative. Do I think the PSC site or parking lots around Nissan are good for it, not exactly, but I see the argument being made and understand the lucrativeness of those businesses. Boston is finishing up their Encore (Wynn) resort and the casino is investing a large amount of money into upgrades for the MBTA to reduce headways and get more people on the train. Deep pocket investments outside the federal government has the potential to do great things for the city.
Furthermore, casinos have this connotation of being crime ridden, dirty and bad for the economy when really they can be quite the opposite. When you place these structures in urban settings, you see a tremendous difference from the casinos in the middle of nowhere. We already have a PD that is capable of dealing with petty crimes that occur and with investment packages coming from casinos they can add more money into the PD budgets. From a design standpoint, they have the potential to be skyline altering due to the fact that hospitality design tends to have higher budgets than traditional projects. The ROI on casinos can be spread out a bit more due to the continued stream of revenue that is always moving through it. All that being said, I would want Wynn Resorts to stay far away from Nashville as their buildings all look the same and are quite tacky (in my opinion). If the constitution of the state ever changed, I wonder if MGM would be interested as they are already investing in a hotel at Nashville Yards.
I had always personally thought the Cool Springs area would be the perfect location for a very nice, upscale and classy casino development

Somebody needs to take a drone over there and take a couple of shots. There's at least 4 projects under way in different areas (counting the sheriff's office) and it's really hard to get a feel for it from the ground level because of the scale (and because half the roads are closed off). With all the changes to the street grid, this is going to be an enormous transformation.
This might be a dumb question, but was there an architectural reason they didn’t start with the units fronting Shelby for an immediate aesthetic transformation of the “Gateway to East Nashville”? Those will be replaced dead last if I understand correctly

These types of transactions often times have a 90 day feasibility study associated with them...which we are coming up on. Two doomsday scenarios here: 1: Hotel or 2: any Multifamily housing with AirBnB associated with it.
If I had to guess, the best return on that amount of money would be to tear down and pack in the townhomes at $750,000 a pop. I predict it will get ugly with the neighborhood.
Wife said she heard that from someone at Nancy B Good's. I personally think upscale townhomes would be a good fit there, with ground floor retail. Especially like the tasteful 3 story directly across the street.

My wife told me 2-3 days ago that it was closing in just a few days. She heard that I believe at a neighboring business, can't recall where - the listing says "Pending Sale" https://www.nashvillesmls.com/listing/1981683-1105-fatherland-st-nashville-tn-37206/

Could be anywhere if he's wanting to put another floor on an existing building with a new build.
You are correct, but that sounds like a massive goal to add a 2nd story AND be open in 11 months? Re-reading it it sounds like the 2 story building footprint is already there...it says a "Converted industrial building", which to me means it has already been converted, which lends credence to the Fluffo building that has ALREADY been converted, and reduces the liklihood of the Industrial Staffing, which has NOT been converted...

Sean Brock (Husk) reveals his plans for an Appalachian-focused 2-story, 10,000 sqft restaurant in east Nashville. No address was given, but it will be in a “converted industrial building”. Any guesses?
It says two story so that doesn't feel like it could be the Krispy Kreme place on Gallatin...unless there's a rear entrance basement?
2 other options - the newly expanded with 2nd story Fluffo Building on Main, formerly home to Fat Bottom Brewery...and this building at Woodland and McFerrin, it appears to have a rear basement:

That's cool. Wife and I got a steal on an 1850's historic home downtown Winchester - or at least we thought we got a steal until we added up the renovation costs! We are in the process of moving down and really like the area. Much cheaper and slower pace of life, in a good way. Their quaint little downtown actually has quite a bit going on.
