I was going to try and work on this more this weekend and realize that this is a first effort. This is a rendition of future and under construction towers in the downtown and possible East Bank area.

Just for fun... Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I got a little impatient and wanted to see what all these projects might look like added to our skyline. So i had a little fu

That is such a unique and interesting space.  I hope the city finds a way to utilize it, because it could really become an asset to the surrounding community.  In the past, I've suggested things like a skate park, tennis/basketball courts, sculpture park, food truck area, and mural wall.  What else could you guys see this space being used as?

I know Nashville is different from Chattanooga but here they are about to build a mountain bike park under the highway 27 bridge, and under the pedestrian bridge here we have a climbing wall!

If any of you downtown guys could ever get some photos of all of the new downtown lights, that would be awesome.  Every time I drive around the loop at night, there is a new light on one of the buildings.  Lots of wonderful eye-candy.  

I noticed the top of the state capital bldg. was lit up red and green...and I don't remember seeing that before.  Also...it seemed like there was some kind of LED flag or something similar on the side of one of the buildings facing the river.  It was quick glance from I-40 coming from Fesslers Lane...so I didn't get a good look.

Heaton's Station (also known as Lock One) is a little-used park overlooking the Cumberland River north of downtown and immediately on the other shore from MetroCenter. It became a small fort/settlement in 1780 along with Fort Nashborough and Freeland's Fort that helped secure the valley.  Originally, due to the shallower depths here, it was a buffalo ford, then it was made into a ferry crossing, and eventually Lock 1. 

Some of the original footings, stairs, etc. to Amos Heaton's home and the fort that grew up around it (as well as slabs for the park, etc.):

Abandoned incline rails that led down to the shoreline for use with the ferry.

The skyline from the lower portion of the park. The northern section of the I-65 inner-loop bridge is on the left.  Some of Metro Center is in the center and right across the river.

^^^  Thanks for posting the Lock 1 pics, Mark.   I had no idea that little park existed.    Another hidden treasure!    I often run along the MetroCenter levee greenway and didn't realize I was looking directly across at it.      Someday it would be great to have a pedestrian bridge similar to the Shelby Bottoms bridge connecting the Cumberland (MetroCenter)/Ted Rhodes greenway with the Whites Creek greenway on the north side.

There's shops and restaurants built into this bridge at street level. Could that be possible with the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge? It's a bit downtown-ish but the east bank will likely become more like that eventually anyway.

The west side under the shelby bridge in the heart of sobro is also a great opportunity for a new functional us of space.  The city recently removed the  construction trailers that have been there for over a year for the construction of the riverfront park.  This area if properly planned is a great feed through area connecting the new riverfront park to sobro/broadway.

That's a bridge that connects Manhattan to Brooklyn. I love these kind of ultra-urban things.

Ah, I didn't notice the post above this. Yes, the Queensboro Bridge.

Actually, this is on the corner of 19th and Chet Atkins across from M residences. The 12 story will be on the corner of 18th and Chet Atkins.

I think David Creed is the one to contact on this. This is part of a 4 parcel group that is approved for up to 20 stories and was bid on last month.

I LOVE that little strip of restaurants behind Aertson.  To me, it's one of the few stretches of urban street scape Nashville has outside of downtown that truly feel like a stimulating, old school, urban neighborhood.  It's too bad it doesn't stretch out over more ground!

Noticed a bus this morning parked outside of the UBS tower. On this bus is a large Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse logo...and it also lists Nashville as one of their locations. Progress?

Also found myself pondering the impact the convention center development will have on this view. Will certainly be impressive to the hordes of people that hang out down there:
