Emma's used to have an apartment over the flower shop which was rented by my art teacher at Watkins, Gus Baker. He invited the class to his place for a party once. I was a teenager and had never seen such a classy place, nor met anyone like Gus. His paintings were all over the walls and he played classical music on a baby grand piano. He could also recite poetry from memory. He asked if I wanted a drink and I said I didn't drink, so he said he would fix me something that looked like an alcoholic drink so I wouldn't be embarrassed.

Amazed that remnants of the signage for the Nashville Sporting Goods Co. is still there. At one point that was the primary retail store in Nashville to buy all types of sporting equipment. Are there plans for that building? It would be nice to keep that section of Rosa Parks Blvd intact to provide a break from the modern towers going up in that area.
The building I would miss most is the three story brick next to Sporting Goods. It has style, especially on the inside, is 19th century, and has a great history. For some time it has been an upscale restaurant and if you ever eat in there you will fall in love with it. It was called The Townhouse Tea Room and currently is called The Standard.

Can you post the one your talking about? A picture is worth more then words. Just curious as to what you seen.
I don't know how to do that, but it was on a Utube site called "Nashville Daily" with Stuart Demming.

Was it similar to this one?
yes, but the apartment building was about half that size.

I've seen two recent renderings of Nashville Yards, one showing it with less style and size than the other. Does anyone have any info?

Sore subject, no doubt, for Nashvillians. I mean, you guys have Stix and the Elvis statues. I just don't get it... you have perhaps the most renown American sculptor living there and yet, you have nearly zilch in decent sculpture. One of your native sons Red Grooms couldn't even get a longterm position of prominence. One of the most attractive (Battle of Nashville) is virtually hidden from public view. I'll throw an attaboy to the Schermerhorn for some nice statuary around there and Musica, but that's thin gruel. Even Chattanooga blows Nashville away. We have lots of sculptures around town, and even Montague (Sculpture) Park.

I think the two figures in the fountain at Schermerhorn are our best. They have a beautiful flow from all angles. The large bronze in the War Memorial Building is nice. We have many people who aren't appreciative of the arts, but Nashville is a decent size town and there are quite a few who are. As for the Forrest sculpture (?), I was hoping the demonstrators would pull it down.

The apartment/condo not only will be the tallest structure in that part of town, but it sits on a bit of a hill which will add to its stature.

There's a recall petition online and I just received a property tax repeal petition
in the mail. He should have been mayor of Mayberry. Come to think of it he looks like the actor who played that part. And with him in charge Nashville might start looking like Mayberry.

Those construction cranes really clutter up the view. Can Cooper do something about that?
Raising property taxes 32% should help.

The structure at 1200 3rd Ave. North that is home to Germantown Cafe and Red Bicycle Coffee, is going to be rehabbed after tornado damage. Built in 2002, the building also has six 2nd story condos. An initial permit for $50,000 has been secured for reconstruction.

Am really happy to see this. Was worried about it.

Doesn't seem to be much happening on Germantown rebuilding. What's the holdup?

That ~35 story office tower.... so close to being the tallest in TN. Just needs a few floors added and a spire.
Would really add to the 'bragging rights' for the whole project.
Right! The Batman Building and the Empire State Building aren't all building either. Live it up! Put some stuff on top.

Build it all, y'all, no matter how tall or where shadows might fall, or whom it will gall. Its the right thing to do, that's all. (But we do owe Broadwest a big thanks for filling that damned hole with a wall).

^Actually, this and the motor hotel fronting Union should be torn down to reconstruct President Polk's "Polk Place" mansion for a museum and to reinter him and his wife on the grounds. That should never have been torn down in the first place.
For this travesty they should be blown up, plowed under, and the ground should be salted.

Sunday, I went to Germantown, my favorite Nashville neighborhood to see how bad it was and am glad to report that things weren't nearly as bad as I had been led to believe. There was major damage to two large apartment buildings and one will have to come down, but other than some blownout windows, some ripped up roofing, and maybe some internal water damage most of the old stuff seemed to be intact. The main loss when it comes to old buildings was a badly damaged commercial structure on the south side of Germantown. The windows were blown out of the Germantown Cafe but the structure looked good. Some windows were out of the Church of the Assumption and the steeple looked a little lopsided, but scaffolding was already up and the church was being worked on. The old Mad Platter building (now called Mother's Ruin) was open for business and packed with customers. Most debris had been collected and stacked by the curbs for pickup. I think Germantown can be restored to its former self in a short time, except for the large apartments.

Germantown, one of my favorite Nashville neighborhoods, took a big hit. I don't want to drive over there and get in the way, but would like to know about damage, especially on 5th, 6th, and 7th avenues between Madison and Monroe. How did places like Tempered Chocolate, Germantown Cafe, Cathedral of the Assumption. Monell's, Germantown Inn, the houses at the corners of 6th and Monroe, the former Mad Platter building, and the houses at 1315 and 1317 5th Avenue fare?

Dandgure's and Arnold's were the premiere meat and threes in Nashville IMO. Our restaurant scene was once known for its meat and three places, but no longer. Fortunately, those of us who like that kind of food can still get it in its best version at Monell's, though that isn't technically a meat and three. The Puckett's meat and three in Leiper's Fork is high quality and is housed in an authentic old general, store. The Dotson's in Franklin was a good one, visited by many celebrities, but unfortunately gone. Satsuma on Union Street with its turnip greens and chocolate pie was one of the best. The political movers and shakers had a table reserved there in the upstairs room.
