[East Side Urbanite]

I visited Detroit in 2011. Stayed near Greek Town. The city has  strong potential to reinvent itself. Woodward remains an impressive avenue. The area near Wayne State now has an urban Whole Foods (if I'm not mistaken). CBD on business weekdays bustles.

 

WW

[e-dub]

you're not mistaken, it's been open since june 2013. i come here a few times a year, there is always something new every time i visit. the upswing is slow, but it's very organic and real.

Took a trip downtown, snapped a few pictures and met Smeagol. Glad to put a face to the screen name. Look forward to attending a meeting soon.

9/6/14. Provence downtown. Be there.

Nice pic. Has a cool "watercolor" feel too it.

That photo reminds me how much I like the use of red brick within Nashville buildings.  It definitely gives us something that sets our architecture apart from most other cities...and gives a nod to the old buildings on lower Broad...as well as many of the antebellum homes in the area.

Good to meet you Pete. Great photo and looking forward to maybe seeing you at the October meet.

Just curious, how did this meet go down? Did Ron just look like a guy with a screen name like SmeagolsFree?

Just snapping pictures and some guy comes up and asks if I'm taking pictures for a blog. I said yes, Urban Planet, and he introduced himself. We had a nice, brief chat.

Great story.      UP'ers are everywhere....

Do they not have any lighting for the KVB bridge?  I like the look of the bridge and would imagine lighting it would look nice.

[smeagolsfree]

That's why I never miss much on walks or drives. Eyes always watching

Look for the guy in the trenchcoat standing next to the van with Smeagol airbrushed on the side of it.

^Lol! That's hilarious!

Unfortunately no.  I remember when the bridge was being constructed and there was a poll to vote on the color that the bridge was to be painted.  I also recall that there was mention of the bridge having a lighting scheme.  Obviously it didn't happen.  Another way Nashville could spruce up the night time skyline.  Looks pretty sad to me.

Something like this would be awesome!

Most of you have likely seen it already if you frequent the same websites as I do, but NBJ had a nice look at downtown from what appears to be near the top of 1212:

 

 

To give you a perspective on progress, they have almost completed another full floor of both the office and garage space in Gulch Crossings since this was taken.

 

Also, if you squint you can almost see me waving from the south end fourth floor of Cummins Station.

Great shot. Gulch Crossings is getting tall...

Imagine the view in another 5 years or so.
