  1. At least it was the right city. The Nashville Instagram page a couple months ago erroneously posted a picture of the Melbourne skyline with the Central Tower front and center. Also, here's a US News listicle that uses a shot of Beale Street for Nashville.
  2. Yeah! Show me the broads on Lower Broad, show me the bros in SoBro... Wait, never mind.
  3. Efgefield Sports Bar and Grill has been bought and their lease isn’t being renewed. They’ll be closing in April and I’d expect that that building to be torn down rather than rehabbed. Sad news for the east side.

  5. A recording studio isn’t going to be loud for the neighbors. The goal is to block noise from outside and to control the noise inside, so inherently a good studio is pretty quiet from the outside. Soundproof padding, diffusers, floating floors/ceilings, etc. I can’t see it being a problem.
  6. NY Mag is the worst about that too. They’re the ones that wrote that butthurt indictment of Nashville after the AB announcement that painted us as some uncivilized backwater hamlet.

  8. Another one that I’m glad to see get developed but I’m sad to see go. A few of my friends had studios in that building and it was great for artists and small businesses. The Jazz workshop is a Nashville gem, too. I really hope it’s able to reopen somewhere else.
  9. So I was walking past yesterday and I noticed that PSC cleared out several lots along Davidson St. I’m not sure what this means or if it means anything, but these lots have always been piled high with vehicles and other scrap metal and this is the first I’ve ever seen them cleared out. Has there been any progress with their relocation efforts?
  10. I thought “Magic City” referred to Miami. People call Birmingham Magic City too?
  11. RIP to the Downtown Antique Mall, though. The Tennessee Antique Mall on Wedgewood already closed earlier this year, the flea market is being changed up and consolidated, and I feel like I can see the writing on the wall for the 8th Ave Antique Mall once their lease is up in a couple years. As an antique dealer in this town, I’m getting a little worried.
  12. If Church Street Park were to go grassless, it seems pretty redundant with 5/3 Plaza a block down the road. Personally, I’m in support of converting Anne Dudley Blvd into pedestrian space and building Paramount where the current park is.
  13. Panoramic from the pedestrian bridge. Nine cranes visible by my count, and a few more hidden behind the towers for this shot.
  14. TheRideShareGuy.com has a decent recap of charging Birds. A full charge on a single scooter costs about five cents in electricity and pays on average about $5, sometimes more depending on the scooter’s location. And yeah, you have to put it back out on the street by I think it’s 8am in order to get paid.

  17. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/destinations/north-america/united-states/tennessee/nashville/printing-art-behind-country-music-city/ ^A write-up in National Geographic, mostly focused on letterpress printing with places like Hatch and Isle of Printing
  18. Tourism will suffer, but tourism everywhere will suffer, and that may leave Nashville as a previously unconsidered budget option for many.
  19. It’s all getting a bit hip for my liking. Take the WeGo down from SoBro into WeHo. Eat at PuckGro, round of TopGo, drinks at PineSo. Walk to BridgeSto for some IceHo...
  20. His wife, Mary Steenburgen, is an actress-turned-songwriter. Pretty sure they’re relatively new to Nashville. They’ve been joining in on some local songwriter retreats and functions over the past year.
  21. There are some great photos in this: https://www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2018/11/18/664453278/a-love-letter-to-a-changing-nashville-in-photographs?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=2047
