Thanks for all the great pics @KJHburg You might have been bitten by the charms of Nashville as I've been. I grew up in suburban Atlanta, and as a kid I thought hell would be a better place.  There are only two Southern cities that I've been charmed by.  I see so much in common between New Orleans and Nashville (two quite different cities)... but both are like the prostitutes you can't shake... NOLA is the aging beauty draped in lace and deep red satin ... Nashville is the taut, young blue-jean-clad, wild line-dancing bachelorette. 

I picture you unbuttoning your collar and lighting up a cigarette as you type that.

You know the place is tiny when the renderings show a built-in Murphy bed!

Not sure what I think of that view of Kirkland Hall.  Looks a little like Eastern Europe but, on the other hand it is impressive density for a part of town that formerly had some dumpy old buildings and not much character (except for a few old structures that were historic but you can't save everything).  If this keeps up, Vanderbilt will be in an ecological bubble almost like Central Park.

When driving on 17th and looking toward Kenect, that is a massive wall with Kenect and the Morris. Kenect is turning out much better than I had thought it would.

Maybe it's a bit over used, but you gotta love the look of a sheer wall if ice-blue glass. This building is going to be so sharp.

I think it's a bit sexier than the nearly-next door Virgin Hotel.

A nice point about this type of building is that pretty much every where has a window view.

These glass installers must be getting paid by the month, not by the job.    

[markhollin]

A $1 million permit has been granted for interior work on the office levels (2nd tru 4th floors) of Kenect.
