What’s actually on fire here? Is it the restaurant at street level? 
Edit: nvm. I found the twitter post. It’s the decorative light at the top of the stairs. Hopefully it can be replaced soon.

Went to a biz partner/client's company 25th anniversary party last night on the rooftop patio (actually the 5th floor) of the Grand Hyatt. Snapped a couple of pics. Music was great; Keb Mo played.

This is going to be a fantastic "before" shot in about 5-10 years. Anxious to see this exact angle again in 2030.

I will bet that is from one of Chad’s condos in 1212.  Sweet!!! I think this is the one he said he is renovating and he wants us to have a meet in soon.

Still hoping for an new tower or two in that northeast quadrant (Parkview, UBS, A-Jackson) of the downtown area.

Some cameras really make downtown and midtown look all as once section of town.

Thought it might be interesting to see these old aerial  photos of a similar view together  Approximately 1940s, 1962, 1970s and 2010s.  I'm not sure of the exact dates though.

Cleaning out boxes of old papers, I found this rendering of a proposal I designed back in the early eighties for a concept called Eurosphere.  The highway on the right is I 65 and the other is Briley Parkway at Dickerson Pike.  This was a massive complex of shopping , hotels and condos based on all European stores...No American stores allowed..  The central areas with the Brandenburg Gate with fountains behind is approximately where Skyline hospital is today.  Other features include the Crystal Palace, the Arc de Triomphe, Harrod's of London with Big Ben, the Ponte Vecchio housing jewelers, a working windmill, the  Hôtel de Ville and other famous European landmarks.  On the far right is a full scale Flavian Amphitheatre for a proposed Olympic to be held in Nashville in 1996. All the parking was under it with elevators and escalators ascending directly into the mall.It failed but inspired the creation of an Atlanta Olympics committee which did succeed.  The Eurosphere proposal  was designed in the early eighties to open in 1986.  If you look carefully, you can see Haley's comet in the rendering.  The proposal got fairly well along  including getting engineers on board (Gresham)  along and Harrod's tentatively agreeing to open it's first NA store.   The project was scuttled with a bad downturn in the economy.

Here are three views from the State Capitol Building this morning.  First looking southwest toward the Tennessee Tower and Amazon II.  Tennessee Supreme Court in the foreground.

 

And south toward the Renaissance Hotel and The Place at Fifth and Broad.

Then southeast toward the older buildings of downtown.

The Place. 33rd floor penthouse balcony. Looking west. 

 

The image quality isn't the greatest, but you can zoom way in if you want
