Also, my wife captured this shot of an otherwise conventional tall skinny house that I wouldn't normally highlight. But can someone please explain the intended function of what appears to be a door leading straight out from the third floor/attic into ... the air? At first I thought it might be a window styled like a door, but zooming in, I can see a handle and a lock. I also thought early on during its construction that there was a balcony that would be added, but at this point they're basically done with the exterior of the house and there is no such balcony.

Maybe they will add a railing in front of it so that it can be opened for airflow but not fallen out of. Like this

Cool, thanks! I've seen them plenty of times on, well, Parisian buildings, but honestly have never noticed one on an American single-family home and never knew what they were called. I'm curious to see what railing they end up installing - looks like there are plenty of modern variations with glass, etc.

Lipscomb Academy, like Lipscomb University, has some of worst architecture ever.  
Just plain ugly, bland and cheap looking.

I noticed that the Shell gas station at the corner of 51st and Charlotte is closed and all the gas pumps have been removed. This is the one next to the West Nashville Turnip truck. Any idea what might be happening there?

It got bought by Mapco so probably another gas station.

Thanks! But hmm, there's a Mapco gas station literally 2 blocks away (at 51st and Georgia Ave) ... unless they're relocating to the former Shell location and then getting rid of the existing Mapco?

Having a Mapco on the inbound side of Charlotte would do booming business with morning rush hour (whenever we get back to a real morning rush hour).  I wouldn’t doubt Mapco’s interest in having convenience stores in both locations.
