Looking SE at BWSC Building and that portion of SoBro from roof of Hilton Tru, in July.  Still so much to be developed.

I've always wondered what Nashville would look like if it were going through a black hole!

Amazon, the Grand Hyatt, the Embassy Suites, and 805 Lea will have the western edge of the skyline filled in quite nicely.

Quiet weekday morning on Broadway.  The size of these bars is unbelievable.  From this week.  (and I was not lured into a sandwich because Luke Bryan, John Rich  or FGL sells it LOL)

ate with the business types up at Pucketts. It is unbelievable has this has evolved over the years.  

anyway your Broadway. 

Last photo "oh no, not this tourist $5 a hour!  I would walk across the bridge to the free lots (thank for the tip) on an icy cold day before I would do this"

Nice little urban canyon that's forming on Commerce. Looks very nice. Thanks a lot, @Salbato.

Some random pictures I took today in Nashville.

Great pictures @Salbato! Crazy to think the Church Street viaduct will be lined with development, with the exception of the NES/Eleven North portion, once the Amazon/Nashville Yards, Asurion, and the proposed Flank Development are all completed.

Which bars/clubs/venues on Broadway are minority friendly? Is there a list somewhere?

I was right by there at the Tennessee history museum and missed it.  I will go by it next time.

that I would not know as I just walked by all these.

I definitely recommend checking it out and all of Bicentennial park. I've never seen the water turned off on the globe before. It's normally rotating with water underneath it.

Here's a video I found of it.

You also must visit the Carillon, at the top of the hour to hear the Tennessee Waltz played on the 95 carillon bells (representing the 95 counties of Tennessee). You will find a nail head in the middle of the Court of Three Stars that is the spacial middle of the columns and all sounds echo back to you! Your voice will echo back to you, like being in a canyon!!

Bicentennial park and the Farmers Market is such a treasure. I’m glad the state is adding new buildings and amenities to it with the State Museum and State Library and Archives. A natural history museum or something similar would be another great addition, maybe on the parking lots toward the south end of the park.

Yes, yes, yes. I've been saying this forever. A natural history museum would be a huge addition, something to provide a focal point for science education on the Bicentennial Mall, as well as what would probably be a huge tourist draw. There's so much Tennessee has to offer in regards to the natural sciences that you could have a great museum featuring paleontology, geology, zoology, and botany. Tag on a planetarium and a an astronomy department and you're set. 

A dedicated art museum with a permanent collection would also be nice. The Frist is cool, but it's so focused on traveling and temporary exhibitions. The Fisk Galleries and the Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery, as well as the gallery in the Parthenon, are all nice, but they're limited in sized and scope, not to mention display space (I'm sure all have more art that they just don't have room to display). It'd require a pretty major starting gift or grant to begin a collection, but between all the other small-ish collections in the state that could put their pieces that are currently not on display out on loan, alongside that which is held by the State Museum, I'm sure they could get something together to get it off on the right foot.
