Yes.  Those lots include the 1401 Church development (scraped and ready) and the massive Hines development.

The weather today gave this view from the Millennium Maxwell House an ominous feel.   But it clearly shows how dominant the Nashville Yards development (and Tony's towers)  are becoming.   Focus is not great due to water on the window.

From Facebook, this is one I don’t think I’ve ever seen-the building that stood at Church Street and 5th Avenue North before it was replaced by the Cain Sloan department store. The property is now home to Tony G’s 505 residential tower.

And another vintage find from Facebook

My annual "What other city in America wouldn't want this?" post... although in the past I've taken shots from a weeknight. Anywhooooo... this one seemed especially busy for a very chilly January night at 7:00.

Daughter asked me to post here to see if anyone can give us locations of old brick industrial smoke-stacks in Nashville both out-of-commission and still functioning. The only two I could think of off the top were the one at Vandy (demolished now I believe) and the one at Rolling Mil Hill. 

Oh, it's for a photography project she's doing for college credit.

Off the top of my head:

- The Smokeless Tobacco building has one at the intersection of Harrison Street and 10th Ave N.

- The Omohundro Water Treatment Plant, on the south bank of the Cumberland right by the Shelby Bottoms train trestle. Might be hard to photograph but you can see it from the boat ramp on the opposite side of the river.

It would be nice if they could consolidate the functions in both those buildings into a smaller facility on 3rd Ave right behind the current buildings.

3rd Ave isn't quite the historical district 2nd Ave is and I am worried that after all the renovation work is done some other mentally messed up individual might try and finish what the first guy started.

This is the world we live in now.

I totally agree. So ugly.

BUT, it looks 10 times better now with the grey shade. When it was that maroon color, it stuck out like an abandoned silo or something. 

I'm hoping a skyscraper gets built in front to partially block it.

I wish someone would agree to do a trompe l’oeil painting technique on the building to make it look like one or two old historical building(s).  Something similar to what donNdonelson2 posted earlier...
