Yep, this is probably the first 'must visit' thing in Madison.  Slow Burn is a block away and is my new fav hot chicken place so you can make an afternoon out of it.

And that's how Madison became the new East Nashville, kids.

Me- circa 2035

They were in the Marathon Motorworks building, before the gulch. That was back before that building had become the trendy spot it is. It was a dump and I loved it. 

 Ha, yeah it had a certain grit to it.     Like the beer garden "courtyard" where you had to watch for falling bricks from the walls above.    A little tight in that tiny taproom, but I loved it, too!

Brewster’s Bar and Grill applied for a building permit on Friday for 1000 Woodland Street (the former Family Dollar) in five points. There’s a Brewster’s in Portland, TN but it’s unclear if there is a connection between the two. 

Also from Friday: the owners of the Stadium Inn applied for a rehab permit. The permit states “demo for future tenant”.

Christian Paro, who last month purchased the Art & Invention Gallery at 1106 Woodland Ave., is looking to update the structure to house creative businesses. He will go before MDHA Design Review Committee on Tuesday, July 16, to seek concept plan approval.

I think the address got transposed at some point. 2841 Lebanon seems to be the correct location. 

 

Does anyone know if this includes the seemingly abandoned convenience store / gas station next to this address? 

[smeagolsfree]

Its been corrected.

I asked Councilman Jeff Syracuse for a comment on this project and will pass along any information I get from him in reply.

[donNdonelson2]

Here is the response from Councilman Syracuse:

“Unfortunately, no it doesn't include the abandoned gas station but I know the two property owners are discussing how they can work together.  I definitely would like to see that empty gas station become something positive for the community.  This development behind it doesn't require a zone change, but we did have a neighborhood meeting with the Donelsonwood neighbors near Hickman Elementary and Donelson Middle to figure out traffic flow issues.  The main entrance will be on Lebanon Pike and the connection to Fitzgerald should just be an emergency only crash gate.  I've been working on connectivity issues in regards to connecting Donelson Station to the Greenway system and this presented an opportunity to do a "Trail Along the Rail" behind this development, that would basically go all the way from Donelson Pike near Donelson Bowl to Stewarts Ferry Pike to connect to where the Stones River Greenway ends.  I want to encourage more use of the Star and our Greenway system at every opportunity as development occurs in "Downtown Donelson".

His reference “where the Stones River Greenway ends” is to the leg of that greenway that currently ends at Stewarts Ferry Pike, as shown in the images from Nashville’s greenways website below.

The structure that used to house the Family Dollar Store at Five Points (1000 Woodland St.) is being converted into a sports bar to be called Brewsters Bar and Grille.  It covers 6,750 sq. ft.

Wait so does this mean the greenway IS going to be connected to the train station with this development or does this just mean he's got one property owner on board but needs many others first? This property represents a tiny sliver of the properties along the rail. 

 

Also, I feel bad for all those that are planning to turn left on to Lebanon Pike during the morning commute. 

[donNdonelson2]

It would seem that this development will extend the greenway to very near the Donelson Station of the Music City Star.

The new home development at East Greenway Park is complete:

Dry Creek Station will be new mixed-use development featuring 394 residential units, 46 townhomes, and 2,500 sq. ft. of retail space on 22 acres (currently empty) at 320 Connare Drive, 1 block west of Gallatin Pike in Madison.  No renderings as of yet.

The infamous Stadium Inn is getting set for major changes.  They have apparently been forcing long-time residents (who were paying $250 a week) out by raising their rates to up to as much as $650 per week.  The hotel is applying for interior demolition permits, but is not saying what their long term plans are.

The thought of anybody being a long-time resident at the Stadium Inn is mind-blowing. I can't even begin to imagine. But I digress ...

Being almost next door to Nissan Stadium, this would be an ideal hotel to cater to sports/football fans: Incorporate sports decor, add a cool sports bar/lounge, maybe shuttle service to Top Golf, some tailgating in the parking lot on game days. This place could pay for its renovations pretty fast.

Amazon will start yet another distribution center in the 98,250 sq. ft.space at 2 Dell Parkway near the airport that used to be home to the Goo Goo Cluster plant.  No word yet on how many employees will be needed to service the facility, although based on other similar sized projects at their five existing locations, it could be around 700.  This has nothing to do with the 5,000+ jobs that will be involved in their Nashville Yards expansion.

I hope they budget plenty for bedbug mitigation!

I think they banned Methyl Bromide, but it sure did the trick back in the day. If they just bombed the place with that it kills everything.

The 55 year old Stadium Inn is, indeed, closing for 12 months and will be reimagined as a boutique hotel. The current owners, Parkway Assocites LLC, are partnering with Rob Lowe of Cushman & Wakefield, and others for the project. Pfeffer Torode Architecture is handling the redesign. It will likely not be a name brand. The new iteration will have about 110 rooms, and a penthouse unit with a living room, dining room and kitchen. In those plans, there are three areas labeled as bars, as well as a "broadcast room" on the first floor of the seven-story hotel.
