Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge

[chc3]

4th is definately shaping up to be the main business strip fo Germantown. I believe tis is the burger joint you mentioned:http://nashville.eater.com/2014/5/29/6215989/virginias-jack-browns-beer-and-burger-joint-expanding-to-germantown

I think that's the place; though it's 4th and Madison not 3rd and Madison, right?

The open house at Wilder was fun. Josh and Ivy are a cool couple and they've got a mix of international and local craftspeople's products in their store.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned recently on this thread, but just out of curiosity, is there any word yet on what's going on with the HG Hill property right smack in the heart of Germantown there between Jefferson/Madison/4th/5th?

No public plans yet.They do have control of most if not all the property on that block. They are busy with the Hillsboro, Brentwood,Sylvan Heights projects, with another planned in Green Hills. It may be a little while.

There are 3 or 4 restaurants going in the old Peafowl theater. The burger joint I think will be at 3rd and Monroe.

Another note in that area is the group out of Phoenix closed on the property that is between 2nd and 3rd bordering Jeferson and Monroe.

The lights on the Pinaccle went pink once. But it would be cool if more buildings had changing LED colors. Would be nice to see downtown in gold when the Preds play in the cup finals. :-)

[TNinVB]

I think the TN Tower would look good awash in a gold color. Kind of how the Carew Tower in Cincinnati looks.

Gold for Preds wins.

I just want downtown Nashville to be a party atmosphere...me and my friends from Chicago would come down often if that were so...

Um....have you ever been downtown? It's nothing but a party.

You and your friends must be the only ones in Chicago that haven't attended a Blackhawks or Bears game in Nashville.

 

Southwest tickets are cheap. Preds or Titans tickets are cheaper than Blackhawks or Bears tickets. Bridgestone Arena might have more bars within walking distance than any other arena in the country. 

 

I have heard a Chicago fan say "man, I don't even like Country Music, but this town is fun!" 

 

Yes, it's the alcohol talking, but there are many, many visiting fans (not just Chicago) that comment what a great party atmosphere we have.

[BnaBreaker]

Ha...yeah I was in a bit of a "party atmosphere" when I typed that.  Not sure why I said it...blame it on Mr. Jameson.

It'll be at 3rd & Madison, actually.  Noticed this sign while on a bike ride today:

 

The buildings in the background in the first picture are Christie Cookie and the Square at 4th.  The 2nd picture is, presumably, what will be the future burger joint.

3rd & Madison for sure. Both streets start with M and I get those two mixed up all the time. I claim a senior moment.

Not new news but validation that all is proceeding ...

I assume that means we'll see some renderings are at least get some information on floor counts.

[CenterHill]

It's the owner of Tootsies isn't it?

 

Yes.     It's Steve Smith of Tootsies and 6-story diner fame.    (following up on the thread regarding the sale of the Trail West building)

Hmmm...so either they are going with the Sheet Music design or they've had a new design ready for a while now.  But...wouldn't they have had to get the design approved before breaking ground?

That's the same thing I was thinking. I guess we will see tomorrow.

[NashRugger]

You can get the design approved by the city without ever showing a public rendering beforehand, so I wouldn't doubt it they present something different.

Channel 2 ran a rendering of the proposed Trail West rehab. I do not know if this is accurate or not.

Oh good god.    No way this passes historical review.     It alters the existing Trail West building beyond all recognition.    Let me guess, those are all garage doors that can be raised to make all levels open air.    It's just a replica of HonkyTonk Central, including chopping off the front corner.   

[smeagolsfree]

That's is why I said it may not be accurate. Seems as if I have seen this somewhere before, but can't place it. I do agree with you 100%

That's it. At least the 3 story version. They will have to make a lot of improvements to the building and I hope Historic holds their feet to the fire until they burn a little.

The could come in handy if the business fails and they need to turn the ground floor into a food truck park.
