The Hilton Riverfront in New Orleans has them and they are quite narrow. I remember driving my grandparents SUV on them as a teen and being afraid I'd bump one of the walls.

Luckily for me, these look to be about twice as wide.

Looks like AB incentives approved. Now let’s get Amazon approved (and Oracle).

Driver safety meaning the people running into them? I never understood why we have to worry more about them than the pedestrians on the other side of the bollard...

If the objective is to protect the pedestrians then there are a lot of other ways to do it that are safer for both pedestrians and vehicle occupants. Guardrail or concrete barriers, for example. But the nice thing about pedestrians is that they have a frangible base.

These two towers will really make an impact from the MCC perspective.

I love this view.

^^The "old look" of the red brick and glass is superb.

Agreed... kinda gives it a 'revamped industrial warehouse' kinda feel!

Only 8 floors? I’m surprised it’s not more.

I feel like I read that in the Post at one point or another.

Wow, thank you for sharing Markhollin. The office building looks really cool

I was downtown Sunday afternoon/night to attend the incredible Pink concert and the apartment tower, even at 18 floors, is very imposing.  Also, the new Cambria has an excellent stage and a nice size area to listen to some excellent music.  They had all the windows along Rosa Parks open and must say that its bar area is really impressive.  Not crowded and dirty like so many on lower Broad.

Interesting perspective on Cambria's NashHouse and stage.  Perhaps we get some classier establishments off-Broadway that expand the type of tourists coming to Nashville.

So does anyone know if there is going to be any type of support under the corner.

What you see currently is what is holding it up.

More on the Food Hall additions.  Besides Prince's Hot Chicken, there will also the The Pharmacy Burger, Von Elrod's Beer Hall & Kitchen, and The Donut + Dog.  There will be 2 dozen stalls in all.  Additionally, on the rooftop there will be  6 food trucks (with engines removed), as well as Airstreams that can be rented for private parties.

So I wonder with these local names flocking to 5th and Broad what it will do to the anchor shops. The pharmacy always has a wait (luckily never super long for me) but they must expect a downturn in business at the original with this. Granted that is to be expected with any local expansion

I think it will be complimentary. Your average tourist that doesn't leave lower Broadway will get to sample more Nashville fair. Locals will continue to go to the original spots, but take advantage of being able to hit them up downtown pre-Preds match or concert, etc. Win-win for all.

I think much of the draw for Pharmacy comes from the unique outdoor space.  Having more indoor space with regular convention traffic through the winter months may be more complementary to their other location than cannibalistic.

I am surprised to see both Pharmacy and Vol Elrods on the list together, however, as I think of them as being pretty similar establishments.
