If you zoom in on the photo, it is clearly a temporary sign and says “opening 2018.” I feel certain the signage will be significant and be approximately flashy for its location.

I worked in that building for four years when I started with TDOT. The windows on the second floor (obscured by the billboard) were where I worked. I saw a lot of nefarious things happen out on the street over those years.

And the building was a dump at the time. I'm glad to see it so well taken care of.
