That's good to hear. I thought I was going to have to recalibrate all my compasses by 90 degrees.

Hmm. I never realized that Murfreesboro was south west of Nashville.

My son graduated from TTU in 2014 with an engineering degree. The new dorms they are building are nice, but the older dorms just need to be torn down and replaced. The rooms in those older dorms are the smallest rooms I have ever seen on a college campus.

Yes Nashville has Bojangles. I actually prefer it to KFC. Their biscuits rival Hardees also.

Is the Google Fiber stuff still moving forward? Didn't they have issues a few months ago with the infrastructure?
Yes it is moving forward. I already have AT&T Uverse gigapower and I absolutely love it! Looking forward to the price going down when new competition hits the area.

It's obvious that the boomers want no part of transit. Sad really. Thankfully the boomers are slowly but surely unable to make it to the ballot box.
This is really an a-hole comment! Totally unnecessary.

I think the monkeys were long-gone by then (probably for health reasons). I thought they initially had them in a basement café.
I think you are right. It was called the monkey bar.

I'm not sure either. It would have been in the 60s when I rode it. I also seen to remember there being monkeys on that floor as well, but it has been a long time and I was just a young fellow then.

I worked at Harvey's one year and got to know Max who operated the Merry-go-round. He was a German Jew who escaped Germany just before the war. He had a very compelling story.
I remember him, but vaguely. I do remember that he would not put up with nonsense from kids riding the merry go round. He would stop it and throw them off if they were misbehaving.

'84 ? To quote Karl Childers, "You're just a boy !" You missed the old department stores and getting to see Harvey's downtown, it closed right about then. That was the heart and soul of downtown. I still miss it.
Used to love to ride the merry go round in Harvey's!-

I agree. That's the perfect spot for a new stadium. Once the new stadium is complete tear down the old one, expand Hawkins field and modernize the lobbies and bathrooms in Memorial. Then build a parking garage office combo with street level retail activation on what is left of the old space.

They need a new, larger gym over a football stadium.
Memorial gym is one of the 5 largest gyms in the SEC. It is an absolute jewell and one of a kind, and does not need to be replaced.

MLS (Major League Soccer) is looking at Nashville for a possible expansion franchise in the next decade or so. Towards that end, a 22-member Nashville MLS Organizing Committee, made up of some of Nashville's biggest movers and shakers, will be formally announced today.
One of the key elements of securing a team (whose franchise fee could be as high as $200 million), is to have plans and funding in place for a soccer-specific stadium (they are not interested in sharing an NFL stadium if at all possible), with at least 20,000 capacity, and full of amenities like luxury suites, digital scoreboards, quality food courts, etc. The head of the organizing committee, Bill Hagerty, claims they have targeted a "range of sites in the urban core." Considering the land rush that has been going on the past five years, along with the scarcity of finding a minimum of 25-acre footprint and parking support for that size crowd, would lead one to believe that the only real options would be:
1) The Cowan Street corridor on the northeast side of the inner belt area (near the Top Golf complex).
2) The TA Nashville truck terminal north of Main Street and between 1st Street North and Interstate Rd (to the northeast of Nissan Stadium complex).
3) The parking lot to the east of Nissan Stadium.
4) The PSC Metals area.
5) This is a long shot: the State-owned land currently used as parking lots between Charlotte venue on south, CSX tracks on west, 10thCircle on north, and Rosa Parks Avenue on east. It would be tight for the stadium footprint, and parking issues could be tough.
6) Possibly piecing-together a numerous properties in SoLa/Pie Town just to the north of the inner belt. But, once again, parking could prove a huge problem.
That's about it within the core. Outside the core to the south, the Greer Stadium site has possibilities, but parking could be an issue. The State Fairgrounds also has the space, but is not very sexy in it's locale (in nearly all cases, MLS stadiums are in downtown areas).
Thoughts?
Don't want it. Would be too much expense and not many Nashvillians give a rat's arse about soccer.

I'm hearing plans have been submitted for initial approval for a combo indoor/outdoor water park at the hotel. Though not a full size amusement park, or a replacement for Opryland, at least it is a start.

No, those are I-40 bridges over Jo Johnston, Clinton, and Herman Streets.

I pick Ralph's over Big O's too, but I certainly would not turn down a donut from either place if offered.
