Massive fire at Woodstock Vintage Lumber tonight. I was wondering what all the sirens were for and then saw the plume of smoke from our back porch. The entire neighborhood smells like a campfire. https://www.newschannel5.com/news/crews-battle-large-fire-at-lumberyard-in-nashville

Looking like a total loss.

Resoto LLC has purchased the .8 acre site and warehouse at 2331 White Avenue in the Woodland Waverly neighborhood for $3.2 million.  Artisent Floors currently operates at the facility.  My guess is this site will become a residential complex eventually.

^ Good. I hope the exterminator company across the street goes as well. Their trucks line Melpark and White, which makes navigating that intersection one big blind spot. And that's not even taking into account the alternating two-way stops with the subsequent Bradford/White intersection.

Not to change the subject, but what exactly are those crop circles next to the interstate?   

[MLBrumby]

Good question. That is the outline of a building that stood there for many decades. I think it was for mentally ill people and it was demolished about 20 years ago. 

[VSRJ]

Not even 10 years ago. From August 2011:

This is Centerstone... which is still a mental health treatment facility.    Seems they kept an outline of their former building.

A few more details regarding the fire at Woodstock Vintage Lumber at 462 Chestnut St. in WeHo Monday evening.  The entire warehouse and lumber yard burned down, and are a complete loss.    No one was injured in the blaze.  Will be interesting to see if they decide to sell their property now.

Fifth Third Bank will build a new branch office at 2307 8th Ave. south, on the site where Captain D's was once active. Not sure if they are going to convert the existing structure or start from scratch.

This is with as little as snark as possible but why do Banks keep building branches, how many people still are using them? The very few times I go into a branch, like maybe twice this year. There was me and maybe another person. Seems like such a waste of money.

My sister worked, up to last year, at a branch bank here. This "national bank" was trying to close down as many branches as possible or at least minimize staff and services. This does seem odd since scaling back is the trend. My sister says the main customers were older folks and poorer ones, who had minimal bank accounts and needed to cash work checks.

I wonder is it's a form of advertising. A lot of folks aren't aware of our different banks unless they see a branch....

I only go to the bank when I have a physical check to deposit or to have something notarized, or to make a larger cash withdrawal. Only about three or four times a year.

Mobile check deposits are awesome.  Just take a photo with your phone and enter the amount...and boom.

I'm too much of a dummy to figure that out. Me and tech usually get into a fight and tech seems to always win and I am left bleeding on the concrete.

Nice aerial of Adventure Science Center.  I still think the facility it would make a terrific Civil War Museum the way it butts up to Ft. Negley (the State would end up running both the museum and park).  The Science Center could be relocated to a new, state-of-the-art facility on the eastern side of Bicentennial Mall, just south of the new Tennessee State Library. could be a State/City joint venture to help continue the trend of making the Mall a similar attraction as the National Mall in D.C. with various museums, libraries, educational attractions, etc.
