    What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China? WTF were they on Lower Broad?

    Well I remember when most of them were filled with dusty storage or old furniture or completely vacant. Second Avenue buildings had dirt or old plank floors. They were warehouses. This isn't Paris or London. The street is occupied for one principal reason...to have a good time. People who party there don't give a crap for trendy shops or crystal shops or such. There is a very small area that is the place where people come from all over the world to visit. I welcome the absence of pawnshops and peepshows. Y'all don't realize how good we have it.

    Well if you want my two cents, why not put all of that surface parking around James Robertson and Capitol Hill into huge below ground parking facilities, eliminate a bunch of fairly useless roads and make a huge park out of it? Essentialy adjacent to Bicenennial, I think it would be much more useable than the East bank scrapyard. Also, putting a bunch of grass and trees on the scrapyard doesn't make it a safe environment. It is still a very contaminated brownfield.

    Wow. those trees will look great for about a year until they grow a bit and absoluely wipe out any kind of use of those balconies. IMO the residents will be constantly pruning back the branches.

    Your gobblygook post makes you sound like a retarded idiot IMO. Go away. No one will miss you.

    With the continuing resistance to practical solutions to the horrid traffic and obsolete stores, I have no sympathy, Let them stew in their own juices IMO. I have no need to visit their pampered enclaves.

    Not a great location IMO. Remember the Farmer's Market is on borrowed time as there will be further large buildings along the Bicentennial Mall to be built and the Market certaily to be relocated. Don't you recall half of the market was lost for the State Museum? I think the rosd accesss sucks for a stadium location with NO good interstate access. I think the SF residences would be pissed off mightily from the noise and traffic also. With the ONLY interstate accesses being at Rosa Parks and at Charlotte. I think this is a lousy location for handing big traffic generating facilities. The I-40 junction design precludes further exchanges being built.

    The junk that was there was crap. All of your taste is apparently in your mouth.

    I remember Sewart well. My dad was the colonel in charge of the BX. went ther often.

    Well, no matter when it was, the "white disc" was a revolving restauant. What other shape would it possibly have been? It wasn't Windows on the World, for heavens sake. It's just part of Nashville's history until they finally raze it. I expect there will be some yo-yos who will gripe about losing history. Sheesh.

    I remember the losses on the Square

    A legal HC ramp is going to nasty on this one. Not a lot of site width or depth to keep it under 1 in 20.
  13. Baronakim
    i already did that, so they kicked me off the group. Those folks don't want any proof that contradicts their whining rights. Rather like the hipocracy of the Republicans in the House.on the Immigration bill.

    I think that the retail/commercial space will be jammed with Ascend across the street and folks parking for events. Just will depend on how good the match up is with restaurants and all the hotel stuff that should be going up after someone turns off the freakin' City Lights finally!

    Much more dignified. The stupid arches look like they were designed for the Animanics. if I were a professor in an Architecture 3rd year design class, I might give the arched proposal a C-.

    The new Justice Center in Columbia is now fully shathed and ready for exterior finish work to begin. Here is a rendering.

    Hpefully it will be possible, but the Rock Block has takena lot of squarefootage that the old one had.
  18. Baronakim
    Off the planet is a fine location IMO.
  19. Baronakim
    Bleeh. Haven redux.
  20. Baronakim
    Mid-century??? We still have over 25 years to go dude.
  21. Baronakim
    Highly unlikely. More like .75 acres unless they are taking out the whole block.
  22. Baronakim
    Did the cold snap kill off the ivy on the One Hotel again?
  23. Baronakim
    Underwhelming IMO. Sort of third year architecture student effort.
  24. Baronakim
    I certainly haven't. Nashville was nasty as virtually all electricty and heating was from burning coal. It wasn't until the TVA dams on the Cumberland made electricity cleaner in the late 1950s. I remember all the press coverage when the city performed a huge cleaning program of the virtually black limestone buildings all around the city. It was transformational.

    Whhaaaattt??? Guys, I figure I have a quarter cent or more before I give up. I'll only be 77 in May! The AVERAGE age of my male ancestors for the past 2 generations or so is about 90 and that was without the hugely superior medical care I have had most of my life I'm looking at 103, 105 maybe. I've only begun to outlive my first husband yet. Never give up! Never surrender!
