Perhaps some of you knew, but Marathon Village was used a rave venue back in the day.  A friend of mine stitched together this video from a tape of a party back in the halcyon days of 1997. Man, do I ever miss these days...

Damn!  That's a hell of a party... I was a little young in 1997 to attend events like that, but you'd better believe I would have been there if I was old enough!  And look at that... DJ's who are actually.. DJing!  What a novel concept.

Those were good days!

The brick is distinctive and it's wonderful that they've preserved the big tree in the front yard by building the deck over it.

After over 30 years of occupancy, every piece of wood and drywall must be infused with the smell of great tacos.

Quantity > quality, would rather get a tray full of greasy SATCO tacos than the silver dollar tacos at Nada up the street.

This is a bigger deal than folks realise. This is a high end private school in downtown no less and based in Washington DC.

From their website:

^^^  Like you said, @smeagolsfree, this is significant.  There has to be a catalyst to this.  Wonder who made this happen?  It could be another great story like how Alliance Bernstein settled on Nashville.  If so, there is no end in sight to this type of positive development for Music City.

[MidTenn1]

So an elite stuffy bunch of academics in charge of one of the top private schools, located at the center of power, looked around and said, "Where do we go next?" 

[smeagolsfree]

The new dean of this school has a lot of Nashville ties.  I dont know if I would read a lot into this, but the fact that Nasville landed this school is significant.

The storefront at 1313 Dickerson Pike covers 4,884 sq. ft. on one floor, and was built in 1942.  It houses Shuranda's Hair Salon these days.

The old firehouse near this one is beautiful too.
