Hayden (the Transit Guy) is a great follow on Twitter. He has posted some Nashville related material in the past.

Evanston, Illinois:  Northwestern Univ. Ryan Field renderings, 35,000 capacity (courtesy of YIMBY Chicago).  Should Vandy ever decide to build a new stadium, this would be a nice model/size to emulate.

I think we all know that Vandy is not going to build a new stadium in our lifetimes Mark.

Cool video!  I can only imagine what that place would cost!  It was interesting to change the viewpoint while it plays.

Happy Halloween. Miami is like doubling in size in the next ten years or it at least feels like it.

Do NOT go to Miami Beach on Halloween I learned that the hard way tonight

Views of Lisbon and Porto from a recent trip. I was impressed by the size of the Lisbon metro area (2.4 million) and the number of high rise condos and apartments, mainly under 20 stories.

Lisbon views from my Airbnb. The Golden Gate-looking bridge was built in the 60’s and is named after the 1974 revolution that overthrew the dictatorship.

Views of Porto. Metro area 1.8 million.

Now that is a wild design, even for Miami.  Would be a trip to do something this funky in Nashville, maybe at 33 stories.

My Airbnb was just below that miradouro! Are you headed to Porto? If you have time, also visit Braga, north of Porto. That’s where I’d love to move.

You should take the train to Sintra if you have time. Trains leave every 30 minutes from Rossio Station. Also, if you have time, grab a train to Cascais from Cais do Sodre station on the waterfront. Grab a meal at the TimeOut market nearby.
