I went out for the first time in ages last night, there was a party at The End with some deejays I wanted to catch. I let the promoter use one of my mixers, so I dropped by a little early during load in to drop the thing off. It's been a while since I'd been in The End with the lights on and I remembered how much absolutely adore that space. This is one of the bits of Nashville that need to be protected at all costs, imo. The place is punk AF and I have way too many good memories there - rest in peace to the former sound engineer (and bag man) Brad Baker.

 

We used to do a party there years ago, Strictly Social, a drum n bass monthly and we had a great run. Most of our parties were at The End.

 

 

When someone mentions a "dive"...I always think of this place.  A rock band I managed played there a lot around 2010-2012.  Weird, cool place.

I'm talking "weird" in a good way.  It's a dive-bar type atmosphere...funky...eclectic...one-of-a-kind.  It's not your cleaned-up, corporate-type venue.  It's gritty and full of soul.   Very Nashville and needs to NEVER go away.

Gotcha! Yes, The End is absolutely a special place

The End is an amazing place for young and/or touring bands that aren't high profile enough for Exit/In.  If you're ever there, take a peek at the posters above the bar and you'll see a bunch of bands that are now insanely popular/influential.   When we talk about Nashville culture this is one of the spaces that is the epicenter of that.   Go Nashville

Yep.

As I was doing that on Friday, a poster from a show The Dirtbombs did in 2005 caught my eye. I don't know how big they are, per se, but I know they did do an album called "Party Store" of them playing a bunch of Detroit Techno classics that was pretty cool

Macy's in Rivergate Mall to close

 

[Nash_12South]

I just wonder at the terms of Dillard's Rivergate lease. They can't be wanting to stay after this.

Many time anchor tenants have a trigger clause if one anchor leaves they can bail and close up shop too.  If you hear Dillards is converting to a outlet center then it is over.  They did that in 2 different malls in NC and both malls have gone and I mean gone now.

I saw the writing on the wall a few years ago when the last time I was there. This mall is the next to close and there is no saving it in its current form .. Tear it down and build something better there.

 

I have heard from someone that works there that the entire mall is for sale....Just a rumor.

Can't say the Macy's closing is a surprise. It's a matter of time before somebody buys the entire Rivergate property, razes it, and redevelops it into the next Providence Marketplace, The Avenue, Streets of Indian Lake, etc.

Indoor shopping malls (most of them) just aren't popular these days. Neither are department stores.

With many buildings over 250' pulling permits this past couple days, does anyone know the count of buildings over 250' under construction in Nashville, now?

^^Makes me wonder why someone didn't think to put a big 19 up there during the NFL draft last spring.

Can only do this for so long... 4 seasons coming fast.

Facebook is looking to the greater Nashville area for a massive data center. Apparently they have been doing a site search for 2 years.  Originally they were looking at Clarksville, but it sources think it may end up being in Gallatin. Probably won't be a huge amount of jobs (perhaps less than 100). The plan appears to be similar to the massive centers they are opening in Huntsville, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Columbus (OH); and the Atlanta area. Normally are around 900K sq. ft. and cost about $750 million to build on hundreds of acres. Some are even larger.

Columbus, OH?!?!?!

I was surprised to see that the ridiculous Nathan Bedford Forrest "statue" down in Franklin was briefly included in a joke bit on the Seth Meyers late night show this evening... luckily though, he didn't say where it was located. lol
