Bummer:  The Heaven's Door, Bob Dylan-centric bar, distillery, and art gallery project that was to include the historic former church at 410 Elm St. has been scrapped. This also includes the entertainment venue, called Recess, that was being planned at 425 4th Ave. South. Heaven's Door Spirits had paid a total of $11.4 million for the two adjoining sites in the past 5 years. They are now available for purchase at an undisclosed asking price.  Both sites should fetch a nice profit.  Hopefully whoever purchases will have plans that integrate the historic church structure (circa early 1900s).

Wow. The southside of the convention center is like the Bermuda Triangle for developers.

Need to move the rescue mission. Way too many homeless wandering around between downtown and the Gulch.

Definitely needs something to build around. South of Peabody, west of 2nd it's mostly a wasteland of 1 story warehouses and random old strip malls.

Listening Room has gotten a foothold in, but that's about it.

Just change the name of the area to “Mission District” instead of that silly Pie Town moniker and the problem is solved. 

[PaulChinetti]

Noooooo, Pie Town for LIFE!!!

Yeah it’s like night of the living dead in there

Yikes!   I would't trust that... I hope planning has an engineer check it out. If that's the one I'm thinking of, it seems like good money after bad. Don't spend much on it at this time or sell it?!

Just so folks are aware, it is not 3-stories on top of the building. It is a 3-story addition on to the east side of the building. See the snip from the public document below.

Is that the place next to the Circle South lot?  I was nervous about parking my car there a couple days ago, there was a guy unconscious laying in the middle of the sidewalk and all kinds of rough looking guys roaming around the area.  It's really a problem and I don't know what we could do about it.  I can't imagine any of the guys I saw being able to do any sort of work so they really can't take care of themselves.

Again, I have heard that the Missions time at that location is numbered. I feel that they have missed the gravy train as far as price per acre goes right now. The price now is either flat or dropping as demand is dropping for the near future IMO. They should have sold two years ago. The market prices will take a little time to recover now as many of these projects are going to take longer to build as financing tightens up and some of the developers either put the brakes on or slow projects to a crawl in some cases. Some will move forward, and some may not. The main thing is the Mission is going to have to take less for their property now or wait for the market to recover and that can take a while.

Always exciting when we bulldoze green space for parking garages!  I expect nothing less from our forward-thinking legislators.

I wish they would bulldoze that eyesore of an apartment tower on the corner for green space to compensate for that lost for the new parking garage.

Maybe the 4th time will be a charm? The population growth will support it, though, and the interior is immense. Also, one of the longest bars in Nashville. I hope they make it. That hideous cannabis bar and cafe across the street will hopefully be replaced some day.

I hate losing that green space a block from my house. I’m sure the neighborhood dogs will also miss it!
