On many days, the Alliance-Bernstein building (is it called 501 Commerce?) is virtually invisible from the south. Blends into 505 Church Street.

As reported Tuesday afternoon on the Tennessean’s website, NMAAM will postpone their grand opening that was scheduled for Labor Day weekend. The delay is due to Covid-19 concerns. New date TBD.

That's beautiful, much more organic feeling that some. The stair is very similar to the one they used in the Boston Apple Store, but better.

Brookfield Properties and the National Museum of African American Music are seeking approval from MDHA Design Review Committee related to some changes in the signage for the new attraction to open at 5th & Broadway this fall, according to The Nashville Post.  A few new renderings:

Remember when "carnival" signs were the Mayor's #1 point of contention? Simpler times.

That glass is going to have some amazing reflection it looks like. I don't know if thats good or bad. Can't wait to see the lighting scheme.

This may not be the place to follow up on this, but I think if our numbers stay acceptable, the city will feel pressure to open the bars to 50% and restaurants back to 75% to try to salvage some of the end of summer/Labor Day tourist business. With schools reopening, to varying degrees, the numbers will be down. That would likely be on August 16th when the current order expires. The city will have to bite the bullet at some point or just allow the bars to fail.

Yeah, I realize now I screwed up and put this in the wrong category. Meant to put it in the ECON discussion where most of this is being discussed. Doh.

The 25' x 35' LED screen against the back wall of the Renaissance Hotel Ballroom is being tested.

That's awesome. 

I can see them installing a larger LED screen in the future.

Can anyone read all of those names on the white placard to the right?  Seems it may list all of the retail / restaurants?

Are those apartments to the left? I'd hate that sign right outside my windows...at night.

Yes those are apartments. Hopefully the design has good blinds called for

I think if you sign up for one of those units you know what you are getting yourself into and for some reason want it.

You'd be surprised what leasing agents forget to mention when they give virtual tours or only show you the model unit.  It happens all the time.

Oh did I not mention you are going to hear a high pitched "wooo" sound every 30 seconds?
