Goodletsville. Their police work the mall and they are their own city as well.

You’re definitely right about the mall. I saw a Goodlettsville cop there the other day, and they have a Goodlettsville address. I think the city line is right around there, though. On Madison’s website they advertise that Rivergate is part of Madison, so unless they’re just completely BSing I’m assuming that a good part of it is.

Well, Madison is just a Nashville neighborhood, but you are right in that the city line between Goodlettsville and Nashville  runs right through the mall.  Looks like the bigger chunk is in Nashville.  The Target there is split as well.

My point about Madison being the next Green Hills is further re-enforced as Madison is too big to change in a short or even over a long period of time. Granted some areas will change more than others. 

A few questions to the board.

What do you consider the epicenter of Madison to be? 

Is there a so called downtown Madison?

My guess is that the answer will be subjective.

[grilled_cheese]

I would consider the three or so blocks of Gallatin Pike between Neelys Bend and Old Hickory to be the "downtown" of Madison.

FWIW: I was at the Eastland Kroger earlier this morning and noticed posters on the glass of Citi Trends that say the store is closing. I guess that means Kroger’s expansion plans may finally  happen.

It is. This was from the store a couple of months ago. My guess is they had to wait for leases to run out in adjacent space.

Did the lights at opry land last night. Busiest I’ve ever seen it, and I’ve been going for 20 years. The water park is well under construction. I snapped a picture of the rendering on the fencing, I’m sure it’s been shared before but I didn’t remember it.

The Eastminster church (@3931 Gallatin Pk) that burned down last December has been torn down.  The second homicide this year took place at Cloud IX hookah lounge and they are apparently closing down due to being behind on rent, allegedly.

Apparently we might be getting another Cambria Suites, this one by the Airport.

It's on the Nashville.gov development tracker.  Not sure if this had been reported before, but I sure don't recall hearing about this.

I was wondering when they were going to tear that down. You wouldn’t think that the city would let a burned out building like that just sit there for a year. Anyone know if they’re going to be building another church or if they’ll sell the land?

Edit: I looked it up and apparently there aren’t any plans with the land yet. The membership of the church have been worshipping at Woodland Presbyterian Church in East Nashville since the fire.

Good research, bmkTN.  : )    Can you tell how many stories and rooms?

A bit more info from The Post (behind paywall):

Here is a map and view of the lot:

The Metro Development and Housing Agency plans to use an unprecedented financing structure to pay for the construction of a $25 million charter school that is the linchpin of its plan to attract mixed-income residents to its redevelopment of the James A. Cayce Homes public housing.

MDHA hopes to construct a new building for the Explore charter school, which is run by the Martha O'Bryan Center, a nonprofit that has serviced poor people in East Nashville for decades. Martha O'Bryan, which was tapped for the project without a formal bidding process, will pay for the building with a combination of fundraising and rent payments, with a plan to eventually buy back the facility from MDHA.

We visited the Explore school at their current location at fatherland & 10th (daughter's about to start kindergarten) and it's packed with a diverse group of kids, some from cayce and many from the affluent/white areas around there (edgefield, lockeland, etc.). It's gonna be fascinating to see if they can pull off the transition to the new location and maintain that balance. Their principal is a smart, idealistic guy who's hard not to root for. But sometimes it feels like the Reenvision thing is crawling along so slow that it's going to take 20 years to start really changing things.

[markhollin]

More info on the Cambria Suites to be built near the airport (see post a couple spaces above).  ill actually be two hotels in the 4 story structure.  One will be Cambria with  130 rooms, the other a millennial-oriented limited service brand.  Also a 4,500 sq. ft. Meeting/banquet space. $25 million price tag.

Site plans for the Eastland Kroger expansion.

Here's some recent activity in Old Hickory Village. "The Residences At Old Hickory Lake" has been completed and several other three-story residential buildings are almost finished just down the street. A few blocks away, a development of what looks to be about 50 homes is underway.

This is a bit more than I realized. I thought they were just going to knock down the wall and add the citi trends space, but they're doing some kind of demolition and then adding onto the building. And they're almost completely redoing the parking lot and the sidewalks. Which is way overdue, that parking lot is a zoo and the sidewalks are a death trap.

Is this maybe a good time to try to fix that intersection at Eastland?  I guess the Kroger isn't on the side they would need to move the street to though.

The sign for CitiTrends is down and the store appears closed. Things seem to be  moving a lot faster than most expected. 

In other grocery news, Sprouts has pulled a permit for their new store down the road from the Eastland Kroger. https://epermits.nashville.gov/#/permit/3426279?page=2&searchText=Gallatin ave&searchCode=ADDR&searchType=permit&orderBy=permitNumber DESC . Seems a bit premature since the SP hasn’t been approved by Metro Council, but maybe this is just trying to get a head start in the permitting process.  Workers were drilling in the parking lot this morning, and it appears Cizars has closed .

Another interesting permit applied for along Gallatin:

1010 Gallatin Avenue: Slow Hand Coffee and Pelican Pig Restaurant have applied for a building rehab permit — would be in the same building as the new tropical themed bar under construction, Pearl Diver. https://epermits.nashville.gov/#/permit/3432532?page=1&searchText=Gallatin ave&searchCode=ADDR&searchType=permit&orderBy=permitNumber DESC

Lots of tropical-ness coming to East Nashville -- Pearl Diver, Chopper, and Kawai.

Nashville is set to embark on its first community solar project following the Metro Council's approval of a lease agreement between the city and Nashville Electric Service.

The solar array, called Music City Solar, will be installed in Madison in a brownfield on top of what was a city landfill.

Once complete, Music City Solar will generate 2.8 million kilowatt hours per year, which is enough to meet the energy needs for about 210 households annually.

The project is a public-private partnership featuring Metro, NES, the Tennessee Valley Authority, HCA, Regions Bank, Pinnacle Bank and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

We need blocks and blocks of this type of construction. I do not understand why some of the neighbors were opposed to this.
