What's the name of this development? I haven't heard anything about it. I agree with Neigeville2, they seem awfully dense for Mufreesboro. I would have assumed these were in Germantown.

Views of Nashville construction from midtown. Clearly a lot of activity as evidenced by tower cranes in the Music Row roundabout area extending to The Gulch.

The Buckingham development will have a huge impact on the 21st-Division-Vanderbilt area.

Yet, in the middle of all this development, Alex Palmer's 10-year failure with the West End Summit project looms large as the site continues to fill with water.

Great pics , I keep forgetting how massive that hole is , the city needs to give a time line for Something to be done about that property

Very cool angle, but the video loses so much with no sound. I don't know why he would waste the time and effort.

[grilled_cheese]

I doubt the sound is very good that close.

[bigeasy]

True, but at least throw in some music.

What was that shot from?

[CenterHill]

What was that shot from?

The guy had a small drone with a GoPro that he launched from Rolling Mill Hill.   Very cool shots.

The FAA is investigating him now.

A picture looking down Church Street from Capitol Boulevard in 1964 from a Tennessean retrospective.

 

 

It was still an important shopping street with four movie theaters. Cain-Sloan is on the right just behind the Tennessee sign. Harveys Department Store is to the left of the sign and ran the whole block.

 

Looking east!!

Hey...Publicity is publicity, right?

Didn't look terribly different from that a decade later when I went there as a little kid on the weekends, although there were few people out (actually, by the end of the '70s, it was close to being a ghost town on weekends). Of course, Fulton then added that horrid serpentine brick fiasco landscaping, which just made things worse.

The buildings on the left were all demolished for the pocket park and Grant's is now the library. If only the Tennessee Theater & Sudekum Building could've been preserved. The Cumberland was no acceptable replacement for them. I still miss Harvey's across the street from there. It's been 30 years since it closed, but that was a uniquely Nashville institution that should never have been lost. :-(

The view this year.

 

 

Yes, looking East.

Is it just an optical illusion that the street was wider back in the original picture? The 3 lanes vs 2 makes it look wider, but the sidewalk on the left side of the newer picture may be a little wider than the old. It's just odd, because it appears as if the entire block on the left side has moved a few feet closer to the center. Then again, it's possible because none of these buildings are the same. How sad. I'm looking for the church in the older picture and can't seem to spot it.

 I was thinking the same thing lol. It looks like the red brink building on the left is in the same spot as it was in 1964.

 

Interesting

The sidewalks are wider today, note the trees planted where the road was then. You can see the church in the '64 photo, but only the tops of the towers above Cain-Sloan. Harvey's (the red brick bldg.) used to have a canopy that extended above the sidewalk (and eastward to St. Cloud's Corner) all the way to the street so you could walk in the shade. It was nice in the hot months, and I remember looking in the window displays as a kid.

Went downtown for the 4th this past weekend and went to the CMHOF. I'm not really big into country music or anything and going to this would normally never be on my to do or wish list, but my wife is all about it and has been wanting to go for a while now so I said what the heck. There's quite a bit more then what I have pictured, but that's as far as we got because it was taking too long and we were trying to get down to the riverfront and set our chairs up before it got too crowded. Overall I was pretty impressed with the museum. I thought it was nicely done and there was tons of exhibits and things to see. If country music is your thing and you haven't been I would highly recommend going. 

 

 

Pinnacle tower, Encore, Hyatt, and the Sheet Music lot from inside the CMHOF.

 

Tried to get the HGI but couldn't get a good view.

Some random shots downtown. Took these about 1:30 before it started getting really crazy.
