    Buc-ee's building a gas station in Murfreesboro. Woot!

    Nashville might have the most wide spread skyline in it's tier group, maybe not so much in height. I wonder if things will change in height once the airport expands the runway for their landing strips.
  3. MagicPotato
    Nashville's skyline is getting pretty wide spread.
  4. MagicPotato
    Them there train tracks could be mighty useful.
  5. MagicPotato
    You think they'd use an updated skyline of Nashville for the rendering.

    Now, we just need height! It'll be nice if the western part of downtown and midtown built a few 750-1000 footers, but I doubt it. I just came back from Chicago this past weekend, and man Nashville's buildings look so puny!

    Nashville would some what be a Portland of the South if we had transit. "Without the legalization of weed of course"

    I didn't know Polk's presidential home was located in Nashville? and also the War Memorial project? Both of these locations could easily have become museums of some sort.

    Too bad Nashville couldn't keep all these buildings... if Nashville built most of their skyscrapers and high rises north near Capitol Hill, the city urbanity would be more aesthetic today. Also, the interstate practically looks the same.

    Imagine if this was still around today? The Tennessee exposition was extremely unique for the time period, even today.

    Ironically, the "urban revival" made the area less "urban".

    That truck stop aways felt so out of place.

    That density, now imagine if we had a few 750-1000 footers?

    I took several trips to Houston before, and I have to agree. While Houston has a lot of amenities, their infrastructure and city planning isn't great. I lived in Dallas for a few years and their traffic isn't entirely great either, but at least they're trying to upgrade their transit system. The transit system may not perfect, but it's definitely better than what Houston has.

    Funny how people look at our density statistics and claim Nashville isn't "dense", because of our undeveloped land in the Northwest part of the county. The urban area, arguably, is fairly dense compared to a lot of cities in our peer group.
  16. MagicPotato
    If the flight pattern to the northwest is really that cumbersome, why not fly around it and then make a turn westward? It'll add at the most 10-20 mins? What I don't get is, Nashville doesn't have any buildings over 700 feet. But Chicago/New York has a bunch of 1000 footers and their airports are able to adjust?
  17. MagicPotato
    Same thing with Chicago, the Chicago Midway International Airport is probably about 25 mins from Downtown.

    I love this project, but I'm anticipating a height reduction by 2023.

    I'm pretty disappointed that the 505 CST didn't come out as the original design. I wanted some kind of resemblance to the original design, but instead we get a skinny some what tall rectangle.

    Demographic population/growth from 2010-2020 Nashville/Davidson/Murfreesboro - 1,989,519 White: 1,359,362 - 68.3% Black: 281,767 - 14.2% Hispanic: 193,873 - 9.7% Multi-Racial: 80,230 - 4.0% Asian: 61,019 - 3.0% Nashville is actually not that bad when it comes to diversity.

    Nashville does have really good Thai food compared to other cities of its size. Our African cuisine isn't bad either, but as you said Nashville is a little lopsided when comes to authentic cuisine. Most of the stuff in Nashville is either fine dining, or Americanized "fusion" crap. Not saying Americanized cuisine is bad, but I prefer the authentic stuff.
  22. MagicPotato
    Yeah there is, but in comparison to other similar sized cities, Nashville is a bit weak on the Asian side. In addition, Clarksville does have some decent Korean spots too.
  23. MagicPotato
    Nashville, has a bit of everything. The only weak part of Nashville is the authentic Asian foods, excluding Thai and Vietnamese restaurants. Nashville has some decent Latin American food outside of TX and CA. Arguably, Tennessee is starting to look like a mini TX with the current Latin and Hispanic population growth.

    raising cane’s is adding another location on lower broadway. That’s a pretty smart move.

    I'm usually a height snob, but I'm fine with this project.
