When did you try? There was a bit of a debate over the proper population figures a while back, but I think that's all been straightened out now.  Go ahead and try changing it now and you should be fine.  If someone reverts your edits without good explanation, call them out on the talk page with an explanation of why you made the edit in the first place.

It was not long after the new figures came out. Other "big" cities were updating their wiki data, and I wanted to make sure Nashville was one of them.

I'll try again soon, when I have the time. I'd like to make sure that all of Middle Tennessee is updated.

Awesome, thanks guys.  I'll definitely be making use of that info, Timmay.

With the licensing structure of Wikipedia, it's simplest if the person that takes the picture uploads it. If anyone wants to do an upload, but is unsure of how or the best way to integrate it into the article, just let me know and I'll be glad to lend a hand.

Okay, so here's a rough wish list...

I've been working on this.. got several photos uploaded.. not the greatest photos as I had to do pano's, but better than nothing I guess.  I might try to get some better ones eventually.

One thing I noticed, i'm not sure the SunTrust building page is correct.. .maybe it was the previous home to SunTrust? I don't really know.. .but some of the references are incorrect as the building that was sold for $6mil to Eakin was the parking garage across from the new SunTrust Plaza, at 4th & Commerce.   Here's a pic of the building sold to Eakin:

It was the parking garage used by Suntrust when they were in the tower at 201 4th Avenue North. Tenants of the L&C and the Courtyard by Marriott also park there, but Eakin has owned it for a decade at least. Suntrust employees still park there. There are office suites on the 8th floor, and the first floor has been slated for a restaurant for 10 years but has never happened. The parking garage underneath the new Suntrust Plaza Building is for the other tenants of the building, and the Ryman also gets to use that parking garage as well.

Eakin has had this building on their portfolio for a long time, and has done nothing with the building. Rumor had it at one time adding several flor to the building to bring it up to 15-20 stories, but  obviously that never happened either.

Ugh, I have always despised 1960s era buildings use of architectural brick and the standard criss-cross facade on these parking garages.  Frankly, an open deck looks better than this ugly, imposing monster.  I doubt that these have any structural value, and all they do is keep light out of the already darkened space of the garage, impede air flow, and draw attention to the uninspired upper levels of this building.
