Also, "Hattie B's" has always bothered me because it reeks of fake. It was founded and owned by two good ole boy white guys and then named "Hattie B's" to give an illusion of some older African-American woman back in the kitchen whipping up hot chicken.

Hattie Bs is a spin off from Bishop's Meat & three,  The restaurant is named after three women in the Bishop family with the name Hattie therefore you get "Hattie Bs".  So I don't know how that reeks fake unless you have some personal bias.  You can argue that Prince's is the best just how Philadelphians argue over Pat's vs Gino's cheesestakes. 

"Hattie’s is a shout-out to Bishop’s great-grandmother, grandmother and daughter, all of whom had or have Hattie in their full names."

You know what stadium is 90% identical to Nissan and no one ever talks about... Gillette Stadium. It had the Architect firm (HOK Sports) and broke ground a year after Nissan was opened.  Gillette has done some upgrading since opening to include  the Optum Field Lounge in the south End zone and the  Encore Boston Harbor Terrace (Union Point in video) in the 300 section South end zone.  In video forward to the 1:18 min mark.

NFL is trending towards renovations and not new Stadiums.  Nissan will stay where its at. Now its whether the Titans want to lose their parking lot for a Baseball stadium.

Long story short: Nashville itself, sits in the northwest corner of the Nashville Basin (or Central Basin) that is a geologic dome of rock that is more easily eroded than the surrounding bedrock, thus the Highland Rim. The heart of the basin, generally Murfreesboro because of how flat a majority of the city is, has areas where bedrock is closer to the surface and then some areas where it's at least 30ft down. Thus with Nashville being closer to the edge, the bedrock is generally going to be closer to the surface and less porous than the middle of the basin.

For the visual learners !!

I found this video interesting  on how Seattle's Building Codes may be one of the reason for the housing prices to skyrocket.   I know we gripe on this site about building height but i'm not sure how strict Nashville metro building codes  are since constructions site don't have to put up covered sidewalks!  This is an interesting perspective.

Omg, I love that, is the brick at the front an original older building or did they just make I took that way? 

The York Row building interiors had been stripped of everything except for one fireplace mantle and could not be restored. P&A Associates would instead preserve the front facade of the houses, back to the roof ridge line

Preservationists were critical of how the York Row houses were preserved. Calling them "facadectomies", vice president of the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia J. Randall Cotton felt that saving the facades did not preserve the essence of the buildings, but that it was better than nothing.

The St James in Philly has the exact same foot print as the Church st Park.  I have been in the St James and parking is not an issue unless you have a Suburban then it gets difficult to park in there.  I had a Buick Enclave and I felt I was going to scrape the sides when making the turns. The St James is the tallest Residential Building in Philly.

Granted Boston already has an existing system, but its a system that began in 1897 and has been publicly funded ever since.

I grew up in Boston. The subway was funded and run privately  by West End Railway until 1947 when the MBTA (F.K.A. Metro Transit Authority)  took over.  Mostly all northeast Mass transits started privately until the local governments took them over in the 40's/50's.

Would be wonderful if they would build a Nashville Civil War Museum on the land somewhere.  Something that tells the story of Nashville and middle TN during the war.

100% agree.  But I think it should be a Civil War Museum for the whole State of TN! Or include all the Western Front.  TN had the Second most Battles next the Virginia and some very important ones not far outside of Nashville. 

Also there has been chatter that Harrisburg PA might close the The National Civil War Museum.

Well I think Boston will be out of the running.  Has anyone looked at their proposal?  Its Suffolk Downs site right next to Logan, right next to an OIL Refinery.  And since we always complain about height regulations on this site, well Suffolk Downs only allows 150".   I think Boston just threw in their hat to see how far they can get.  I'm sure Amazon loves the smell of Oil and Jet fuel in the morning!
