The new Kung Fu restaurant/lounge in south side Division Street just east of 20th Ave. South:

 

It's a great late-night hangout with good food. They have tons of arcade games and skee ball.

^^There's so many cool, emerging neighborhoods all surrounding downtown.  Great time to be young and mobile in the city.

I hope for you all that it doesn't become like their location in Uptown Dallas. Very loud, obnoxious music at 1-2am and almost every weekend has DPD calls because of fights and public intoxication. They're actually quite a pain in the side here, hopefully management their keeps it in check.

The Kung Fu managers have already had a meeting with the building management for the Adelicia Condos. The noise at 2 am was unbelievable. It's been a lot better since then ....but there's still a ton of intoxicated Vandy students.

The hazards of living next to a University. That district was there long before the condos and apartments on the way.

The Fairfield Inn (10 stories, 156 rooms, parking garage) planned for Centennial Park area, iis getting closer to fruition.  From today's Nashville Post:

The would-be developer of a Fairfield Inn and Suites eyed for the West End corridor will go before the Metro Planning Commission on Feb. 23 to request final site plan approval to modify the area’s urban design overlay district.

Midtown Hotel Partners LLC wants to develop the 10-story Fairfield hotel building at 113 29th Ave. N. near Centennial Park. The hotel would offer 156 rooms.

Led by Roshan Patel, the development entity has said it is hoping to break ground in the second half of the year and has enlisted Nashville-based Kline Swinney Associates for architectural work.

From today's Nashville Post:

Work is set to begin on the construction of the Midtown building to house Prohibition-themed bar Hopsmith Tavern.

A permit, valued at about $2.12 million, has been issued to allow for the construction of a two-story building to house the restaurant/bar. The structure will have an address of 1903 Division St., a site last home to an American foursquare structure.

Nashville-based The Carter Group is serving as general contractor. Chicago-based hospitality company Big Onion Tavern Group will own and operate the business.

ARF ARF! The first-of-its-kind DGX at the corner of West End and 21st is now open, offering sandwiches, coffee and other sundry goods to the inhabitants of Midtown. Hopefully Dollar General works on the name though because it reminds me too much of:

Imagine if his name was Earl the Rapper.

From today's Nashville Post:

An eight-unit residential project is being eyed for West End Park. Franklin-based Carbine and Associates owns the 0.26-acre parcel, located at 3137 Long Blvd.

Had an office in there for about 5 years.  As a songwriter, it didn't work that well because the offices have no soundproofing.  But glad they saved the building for its historic value.  Hoping the CMHoF will eventually do tours there like they do Studio B.

Wow.  Talk about uninspired.

Just remember this is what it is. They are trying to fill a need and prices are out of control including construction cost. I was not expecting anything other than bland here and it is also not on a Main Street.
