    With the rapid development in Downtown and Midtown, the budget is being hurt by the delay in tax receipts because of the appraisal process. Example from The Gulch: a building occupied in May 2020 will be appraised in January 2021 and the first tax receipts will arrive in January 2022. In a small way, it's affecting the budget of the GBID (Gulch Business Improvement District) and CBID (Central Business Improvement District). The people arrive in the district in May 2020, putting strains and demands on GBID's resources, but the funding to pay for those expanded resources don't arrive until 2022.

    Welcome to the forum, @ThreatLevelMidnight.

    It could be both. Nashville's attractiveness to out-of-state money (individuals and businesses) helps bring attention to opportunities in other parts of the state. Gov. Lee would not want Nashville's star to lose its brightness.

    Welcome to the forum! You must be a long time reader, first time poster - your knowledge of the rules is solid.

    This is exciting news! The height of this building is similar to what we find in the CBD. It will help frame skyline shots to make all of downtown bigger.

    I've been on the Finance Committee at MH for about eight years now. A few months ago, MH had an auction for hundreds of items on the campus including architectural features. I'm not sure if anyone bought the four columns on the home but they were on the block! Even the antique safe in the basement was sold off. A couple of years ago, we stopped serving youth on the campus (for several reasons) and found that our mission would be much better served from a different location. The offices are now in Metro Center, much closer to DCS, our other locations, the youth and families we serve, and interstates that allow our people to get out into the communities. Our thanks to those of you who have supported Monroe Harding over the years. This move has made us much stronger financially, more focused on foster youth, and better positioned for expansion of services (which is coming!).

    Not that I've heard. I'll ask at the next GBID meeting and see if anyone will share.

    Crane assembly is beginning.

    We should see groundbreaking on this development quite soon.

    Based on some discussions with other Gulch property owners, this building has an estimated completion date of March 2021.

    Based on some discussion at the annual meeting of Gulch Business Improvement District property owners, the 333 is planning to open around May 2020. The retail on the north side will open into the pocket park which will have two water features.

    The terrace on the second floor faces south and will be one HOT place in the summer!

    If you haven't seen this before, enjoy.

    As a resident of The Gulch, I really like these changes. The start at the Musica Roundabout and go to 8th Ave S. Yesterday, they painted several crosswalks, stop lines, turning arrows, etc. Thank you for making our neighborhood a better place to live, work and play!

    The Aertson Midtown and the hotel are 17 stories, I think, and this will only be ten or so. It's interesting that the color seems to match that of the Broadstone next door.

    I'd like to see Nashville get a new tourist attraction here: the Underground Lake Palmer. They could put cool lights in the water and offer boat tours.

    Great pics, @KJHburg! I live in this building. If you look down the Division Street side of the building, to the left, you can see a tree on my balcony. A few other UPers live in The Gulch. The pedestrian bridge would have crossed the tracks from the near side of the red brick building on the right (Cummins Station)... ...to the end of this street where it turns to the right. Glad you enjoyed your annual pilgrimage!

    The Nashville Spring Service building came down yesterday. This project has broken ground!

    The Nashville Spring building on 9th Ave S came down yesterday. This is part of the Hampton Inn site, I believe. I have posted this in the project's thread:

    So true for all of us, Chris! Keeping up with the UP postings is getting more difficult for me while the content is better than ever!

    Scooters have been in Nashville longer than I thought! Should this go in the Transportation thread?

    I think this picture is in the restaurant in Nordstrom (Nordstrom Grill? Used to be Sixth & Pine). I'm friends with a member of the Strobel family whose music store is in this picture.

    I went to Czann's for a beer about 4 weeks ago and the owner (can't remember his name) sat next to us at the bar. He said he was moving to a church in The Nations so I'm assuming this is it. His product is very good.
