  1. The pool looks amazing, until you realize all of Trinity Lane will be looking at you while you’re hanging out in your resort loungers. I think it’s below grade of the road, so there’s not much hiding you.
  2. I hate that "Road A" does not connect to "Road C". This sort of planning drives me nuts- you MUST go to Ben Allen to get between the two sections, which only makes car traffic worse.
  3. This is exciting! That stretch is very difficult to traverse on foot. Hopefully it will mean the shops across from Richland park become more desirable and the vacant storefronts will fill in
  4. According to this screenshot it could be, but I've run there a few times- the curve and eroding bank would make it difficult without major work.
  5. Seems like a great opportunity to connect Summit Avenue to Summit Avenue.
  6. I think one of the things that would have to happen is dealing with the setbacks- If there were no setback requirements, I think we could get a larger variety of sizes and that brownstone look since there isn't useless square footage between structures. Also, it would be nice to build closer to the road and alley and let the houses have a larger contiguous outdoor space.
  7. Also, they do not address Indiana Ave between 41st and 42nd. There seems to be an alley accessibly from north of Indiana. Currently the road is a few feet higher than the site, with an industrial parcel to the south, so maybe that accounts for why, but seems... off.
  8. The 2009 commencement ceremonies were inside at Memorial because of storms the night before and into the morning. It was miserable. Fortunately, only the undergraduates had to stay for the whole ceremony.
  9. I think we should continue to recognize individuals with Nashville roots, especially those in the African American community who have been overlooked by the general public for far too long. I especially like that the Tennessee capital's address is 600 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. It seems like there could be a way to streamline some of the naming conventions. I'm not sure we need middle initials for most people, or their honorifics on official names. I think "Jo Johnson Ave" and "Henry Hale Blvd" do just as good of a job honoring people as ""Dr. D.B. Todd Jr. Blvd" and "Rep John A. Lewis Way." I think it's great to put the honorifics on the street signs, but maybe just now on the official names. The syllable count matters if you want people to use the name- "Representative John A Lewis Way" is 10 syllables, which replaced "5th Avenue" at 4 syllables. "John Lewis Way" is 4. It's easier to convince people to use the new name if they don't need double the amount of time to say it!
  10. We don't need a monument to cruelty. Teardown the old prison; the tornado gave the demo company a head start!
  11. I believe this is going to be a Sunbelt Rentals facility. I asked the Pennington people if they had bought the land when the original striations were coming down and that's what they told me.
  12. Forgive me if this is common knowledge, but why does Ellington Parkway exist? Was it around before I-24, and then never decommissioned? I guess it offers quick access to areas just east of Gallatin Rd, but it's a twisted mess to get on it.
