I think they must only use those on special occasions.  Personally, I wish they'd put a message on there every night so kids could grow up remembering seeing the words scroll by on some building downtown.

I wasn't talking about the sculling messages. They used to have the lots on (not moving) all the time since it has opened. Now nothing.

The race car is a great touch.  What a sleek building.  A very, very nice addition to SoBro.

so the bridgestone sign does light up, then. that's a plus.

Ohhhh that red is menacing. Spectacular...

[TNinVB]

Nice to see the top of the fins are lit up. Is the lighting brighter and visible from the interstate?

Sidewalks are now open around the building.

I love what they're doing with the lighting. Makes for a MUCH more striking building. The race car is a great little touch too!

Friend of mine who works for Bridgestone told me that they stared moving employees in last week. His department moves in next month.

I like this building.

[Pdt2f]

Really the only beef I have is that I wish it was maybe 10 stories taller. Overall I love this addition to Nashville, though. 

[bhibbs]

in terms of "boxy" buildings, I dont think you could ask for a nicer looking one.

Snapped this pic on Tuesday night from Crazytown on Broadway after a show at Ryman.   Schermerhorn and Bridgestone tower look good together.

It looked like they were testing the Predators color scheme and Christmas colors (green and red) for a brief period last night. 

I know we were initially a little worried about the lighting scheme, but I must say that I was quite impressed with how great the lighting looked from Ascend Amphitheater last night. 

[bigeasy]

I still think the top of the Pinnacle building would be prime for some colorful lighting. Good easily do red/green for holidays or the colors of the pro teams when they have home games.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about!  Finally got some bright lights and some color up top.
