Interesting.   There aren't many helical ramps in Nashville garages.   The Hermitage Hotel is the only one I can think of, there may be others.      Do you suppose that is being done on 5th & Broad to enable the remainder of the podium floor plates to be flat and potentially converted to office or retail use in a future in which we have fewer cars to park?    

Terrace Pl garage at VU has a double helix.

Public Square Garage is a double, I think.

I imagine that reinforcing the ballroom and large roof spans enough to support the weight of a park would be prohibitively expensive, especially with lost convention bookings due to construction.

Yes, it is.  Parked there for about 3 years in the late '90s.

Found a diagram I don't think we've seen before:

Walking by it now with the retail podium is taking shape and the scale of this thing is just awesome. It's going to be so exciting when opened.

That logo is getting closer to the ground with every rendering revision...

Yep.  Pretty sure it's a 3 story building on top of 15 story garage now.

Is 505 depicted as way too short or are the 5th + Broadway towers too tall in this rendering? The residential tower in particular looks almost just as tall as 505. I realize that perspective is playing a role, but I don't think that the angle of the rendering would distort the height that much.

Two tighter views.

Oh I am not saying they are good, because they are terrible. But they are not the worst in the NFL. Have you seen the competition for that? They won't have a worse record than the Raiders, 49ers, or Cardinals.

I absolutely LOVE the NMAAM project... what an amazing addition to Nashville's cultural scene.  It drives home to everyone that Nashville truly is *MUSIC* city, not JUST country music city.  It'll be amazing to have those big murals of Michael Jackson and Jimi Hendrix in such highly visible locations.

I hope they also dedicate a little time to African Americans' influence on country music, as well.   I know the CMHoF may have some of that...but would be cool to see that in there as well for the many country fans who will visit the NoMA'AM so they understand the influence.

Yeah...there's still a chance something will happen before Sunday and the NFL will award the Pats the win.

Actually have been a fan for 20 years and remember the Super Bowl year, plus other good ones. Defense has carried us through the first 7 games and offense has awakened in the last 2, so maybe good things ahead. We should be 6-3, maybe even 7-2. When both offense and defense are clicking together we are somewhat awesome! We have beaten both of last year's Super Bowl teams.

Indeed! I bet very few people know that artists such as Ray Charles were originally considered "country" music in their early days.

Dale, are you from Tennessee? I think I remember you mentioning you went to UT.

I get it. Mine was a wry backhand to the Pats.

No, but deep ties to and much affection towards the state. Growing up, I had relatives in Knoxville, and we’d drive up, from Florida, twice a year. I’m still drawn to the state and thankfully am much closer.

Apartment tower starting to rise above the honkey tonks. Taken from the pedestrian bridge.

Will certainly improve the view of the hideous Renaissance Hotel... because it will be blocked from that viewpoint. 

[bnacincy]

Yup...!
