That has to be one of the few remaining glimpses of the skyline from the interstate loop on the south side. Thanks for the photo. I can never even glance that way as I drive that stretch of highway-drivers do some crazy lane shifting through there!

Plus, that angle skyline view of this very shot will soon be covered up by the apartment complex, rising in the foreground of that picture. I think that development won't be super tall (maybe 5-6 stories if I recall) but still will cover the skyline view at that point.

Nashville is ever building, ever becoming more dense! Love it.

Cool shot.  And taken at just the right time to allow both Alcove and Prime to show.

Great angle, featuring MCC not yet obstructed by towers. In five years a lot will fill in this view.

Has that transmission tower always been that tall? Or is that just an optical illusion as to the way this picture was taken? Because looking at that next to the buildings that’s WAY taller than anything, but the FAA has nothing to say about planes flying over it.

That's the WSMV-TV transmitter (among other TV and FM stations); it is 1,370 feet in height at a ground level of 680 feet. It's also five miles away from downtown and the 13/31 flightpath.

Thanks PruneTracy, I was thinking that’s what it was but just curious. Wow I guess if we want a tall boy, someone will just need to build outside the flight path!

Can anyone tell me why WSM gave up their 3 letters for WSMV? Will mention too that downtown Houston has a 1002 footer, 75 story tower at the max height, because of a flight path to Hobby. Finished in '82. Unless the FAA revises standards Austin is slated to have the tallest in Texas for decades, a project now u/c.

Ownership change caused the need to add a V to WSM for the television station.

Alcove and Prime together look so cool from that angle... looks like a glitch in the Matrix or something.

Anything look familiar?

Opening scene from the Matrix. Carrie-Anne Moss is running towards us.

 

A studio in Australia had a backdrop of the Nashville skyline and used it in other movies such as the "6th Day" with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Looking NE from Broadway at I-40/65 inner belt. 95% of what is visible in this shot did not exist in 2018.
