Is this building still called International Plaza? Prior to Nortel Networks (now defunct) moving to Metro Center, their US Headquarters was in the building. The first summer I interned with them was in that building in 1980. Back during that time people generally just referred to the building as the "gold building." The old airport terminal was in walking distance of that building. There used to be a Hilton Hotel in that green space next to it. Other than its proximity to the airport, I never understood why whomever built that building chose to build it in that location.
I worked in the "gold building" as well. Our company, Anglo-American Auto Auctions had our offices there in the 80's.

Much better use of land that close to downtown, than taking over a campus.
And with the proposed bridge, very easy access to East Nashville.

Really interesting book that I got off Amazon. It’s been fun to compare with google maps to see what the area looks like now.
The author, Michael Fleenor, used to live on Eastland Avenue. It is a great read, full of amazing pictures.

I think the way the downtown is reshaped is more of a district 19 item that a mayoral issue. It's pretty much up to Freddie to change the zoning in his district to get the ball rolling and as of yet he has done nothing to address this. I hear it is on the works and that issue is pretty much a hands-off issue for the mayor as again it is a district issue IMO.
I can't remember if planning commission is appointed by the council or the mayor. But I will bet it is just like the Fair commission and appointed by Metro Council.
Someone please correct if I am mistaken as I don't keep up on a lot of this.
Most boards and commissions are appointed by the mayor and approved by council.

Given the information is public as of the Sport Authority meeting today. I will share that the MLS construction is ahead of schedule. A request has been submitted to move the opening to April. This will allow the team to play all their 2022 home games at the new stadium.

Looking SE from intersection of Riverside Drive and Porter Rd:
One of the most unimpressive developments on the East side. So sad they did not include any street activation at this busy, predominately commercial intersection.

The NBJ article states that Whataburger was in Nashville in the 1950s-1970s. Do any of the long-time Nashville forumers here know where the old Wataburgers were?
Somewhat rambling explanation: May seem silly to some, but I have an interest in (and actually go searching for) old roadside gas stations, restaurant chains, and other iconic establishments/franchises. The few standing nowadays are often abandoned or repurposed. With a child who is finishing a degree in Architecture next year, I have a great companion to do that, just not often. So I will sometimes seek them out on Google street view. A lot has disappeared in the past 20-30 years in this region. So I'd like to get some of them in photos before they're gone. There's an old "Big Boy" restaurant from the 1950s here in Chatty that's still standing but no longer a restaurant. It stands next to an old KFC franchise building that is also not a restaurant anymore. Lots of roadside architecture from the past still here for the time being.
There was a Whataburger at 1837 Gallatin Pike North across from Rivergate Mall. It is Flower Express now and painted bright pink.

Exclusive: Asurion lays off hundreds of employees
Asurion LLC , Nashville’s largest privately-owned company, laid off hundreds of employees Thursday, in a move the company said will ensure Asurion is “positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the market.”
According to a company spokesperson, the layoffs impacted approximately 1.5% of Asurion’s 19,000-employee global workforce — which would represent about 285 people.
The layoffs touched all levels of corporate staff positions, according to the company, which declined to disclose what percentage of the eliminated jobs were based in Nashville. The spokesperson said Asurion does not have additional job cuts planned for the near future.In an emailed statement Thursday to the Business Journal, the company said it is offering assistance to those impacted by the layoff.
“[Thursday], Asurion notified employees of changes in its operations that included the elimination of a limited number of positions. This shift supports the company’s growing business and ensures we are positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the market. Impacted employees are being offered severance, continuation of health benefits and outplacement services.”
Asurion primarily sells insurance and warranties for electronic devices, such as cellphones, under the brands of carriers such as AT&T and Sprint. The company reported $8.5 billion of revenue in 2018, ranking Asurion No. 1 on the NBJ's List of largest privately held businesses in the region. The company is also one of the city’s largest employers, with 4,600 local workers.The layoffs come as Asurion is making a $288 million investment in Nashville, while receiving a $4.4 million state grant toward construction of its new headquarters in the Gulch. Asurion broke ground on the 552,800-square-foot, two-building project in March.
As part of that deal, Asurion has committed to creating 400 new jobs in the city with an average wage of $47 per hour over the next five years, according to an incentive package with the state.
The layoffs do not impact Asurion’s plans to move into its new headquarters by early 2022, according to the company, or its commitment to creating 400 new jobs. In fact, Asurion is hiring now, spokesperson Nicole Miller said, and laid-off employees are encouraged to apply for open positions.
"As a high-growth company, we continually evaluate our operations across the company to determine how to most effectively and efficiently serve our partners and meet the needs of our customers. The changes we’ve made today will help us continue our 25-year history of growth and providing helpful services to customers into the next decade and beyond," Miller said.
Asurion does this about every two years. I got caught up in it in 2013. They layoff a department, outsource it, then rehire the department when they realize the outsourcing is not working. It cannot possibly be a good business practice. It has to be based on how they "book" the payroll/benefits.

Hello All,
