I didn’t think the Charlotte comment was a jab at Nashville. Thought is was interesting.

So I have come to the conclusion that the Batman building must be in mourning of the Predators loss...

Haha could you imagine??? They would have to install AED's every five feet.

Damn it!!! What next??? Square buildings?? Oh wait...

Ugh 3020??? I was really hoping to see a movie there in my lifetime. Oh well...

Hmmm still not sure. I guess the positive side IMO is that it is filling an empty lot and adding more infill. At least they are keeping up with the theme of Nashville buildings. Haha it took me a minute, then I noticed the handle!

Is something up with the lights on the Batman building? They spires haven’t been lit in a while, except for when the Predators played.

I’d hope so as well but don’t you think it’s strange that if there is actually a colored light bar at the top, it would have been lit by now?

Thanks for the insight. Yes a park is being lost, but it's not like it's a gem or something. When I come home I usually visit the downtown library and always think how this park is such an eyesore and how the library bathrooms are full of homeless people. Sorry if I sound like I have something against homeless people, because I don't. I hope some sort of facility is built for them regardless of who builds it.

Perhaps I misread something, but can someone please explain to me WHY there are opponents for the 8 story building for the homeless?? These homeless people are currently living in a park!! So basically these people don't want the homeless displaced from the park which ins't theres to begin with, and put into a new building that provides them shelter?

What is going to go in the lot facing the blank wall? So much going on that I forget.

Those are some nice shots. Glad to see this finally happening. Looks like they brought English weather with them!

And I can almost bet you that the people that don't see a problem would more than likely complain that the skyline is too big or has changed too much. There are just too many people that don't like change and would rather Nashville be the small city that they say they love and miss so much. As an outsider looking in, I travel to Nashville every year to visit family and don't see how Nashville has changed so drastically in the negative way many people complain about. Yes the skyline has expanded and traffic is heavier but not so drastic. I feel that many need to get out of their bubble and visit other cities that are of comparable size and see how much worse their traffic is or how dead their downtowns are. Living in Hampton Roads, our traffic is far worse and we have less options to get around considering we either have to pay tolls or wait for an hour if not longer to get through one of the many tunnels that connect the peninsula (Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg) to the south side (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Suffolk). I'd trade Nashville traffic any day over what we have here. Also, the downtowns here are not very vibrant and the skyline hasn't changed in 10 years. Yes we have the beach, but that is seasonal.

I’ve noticed that the Batman building has been dark for the last couple of nights. Did someone forget to flip the switch?

That’s why I was wondering if the frame was just a temporary support structure. I noticed the glass banister as well. It’s like what is depicted in the renderings, and if the design stays true to the renderings, the are looks to be open air and the glass curtain wall should be set back to allign with the rest of the tower.
