I like the name Buena Vista for a neighborhood, but one thing has always puzzled me about it.  Where are the good views in Good View (Buena Vista?)  Seems pretty flat to me!

Why is it Historic?

Thanks. That's a very old definition though! The inner loop is no longer I-265. Not sure when that Kroger was built.  I hope the brick sidewalks are still in existence and efforts to preserve them. I wonder if Historic Nashville has had any hand in helping keep it historic.  Anyone know if there's a historic overlay?

The name came from the views of the Capitol building

Ah, gotcha!  I guess that makes sense!

Man, looking at the map of the neighborhood just now, and I'm not sure how I never noticed it until now, but I-65 seriously butchered that neighborhood to pieces... that street grid was just annihilated... really a shame.

Here are the first three pages of the 1979 nomination form for placement of Buena Vista on the National Register of Historic Places. Lots of interesting information here.
