[e-dub]

i don't think it's possible for me to muster an iota of hate on their work, there. that's fantastic!

[CenterHill]

LOVE this.     I think of all those years we watched the Geist building sit there crumbling while the owners did nothing with it.   So happy to see it transformed into this space!

Slim & Husky's restaurant is the current tenant of the 2,734 sq. ft., one story brick building at 911 Buchanan St. that was constructed in 1910.  It is one of the first developments in the rebirth that is beginning along that famous historic avenue.

That site has so much potential, not even tearing it down. It's almost criminal what Smoothie King did to it.

The 3 story, 3,690 sq. ft.  brick house at 1233 17th Ave. South has served many purposes besides a domicile since it was built in 1920.  Currently it is home to theCenter for Health and Culture Society.

Tenn Sixteen has an excellent brunch. I've spent many Sunday afternoons there watching the Titans play while downing 2-for-1 mimosas.

The one 9,130 sq. ft. one story brick grocery store at 904 Buchanan St. was originally built in 1935, and was converted into a mini-mall not long ago. It currently houses Holiday Salon, Emil Erwin, and Nisolo Shoes.

The large home at 2001 Woodmont that was built in 1950 has been repurposed over the years to serve various non-profits and health institutions.  The modern addition went on in the early 90s, I believe.  Overall, there are 21,455 sq. ft. in the structure which is currently houses M Power Performance.

I was rear-ended by a guy going like 40 directly in front of this building in January. Sitting out in the cold for an hour after the collision has seared this building into my brain

Another former church building in Wedgewood/Houston, the one-time home of Humprheys St. United Methodist, is being converted into a coffeehouse.  Located at 424 Humphreys, the 3,658 sq. ft. structure was built in 1940.

The one-time home at 2301 8th Ave. South, on the SW corner of Bradford Ave. is up for sale.  With over 25,000 sq. ft.  of space, the 1930's era 2 story brick structure that has had a few additions along the way, has been an antique store for at least a decade. Could certainly make a nice restaurant.

^I've always loved that house.

Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row is now open at the circa 1910, four story, 14,780 sq. ft. building at 400 Broadway. A set-back 5th floor rooftop bar has been added.

Man, Madison is starting to move up in the world.  That's not going to be too far from the new Yazoo campus.

Bill Miller does it again.  What a visionary he is for buying and redeveloping classic and underutilized downtown properties.  He is now the owner of the historic Federal Reserve Building at 226 Third Ave. North, which he just purchased for $4 million. Built in 1922, the  3 story, 18,500 sq. ft. structure with prominent columns, also features a full basement, and was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.  It served as the Nashville Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta until 1958. In recent years it has served as a mansion home.  The primary three levels all have very high ceilings, and there is a large open space on one floor that might serve as a venue.  

Miller is mum on his plans, but it very well could be another music-personality museum.  He has been rumored to want to have a top-notch Elvis Presley attraction downtown for sometime now.
He also added the historic Southern Turf Building on 4th Ave. North to his holdings last year, and plans on it's reimagining are also secret at this time.  His Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline Museums are huge hits, along with his Sun Diner, and soon-to-be-opened Merle Haggard Museum.  Just a few weeks ago he opened his posh House of Cards Restaurant.

Built in 1906, the onetime home of Russell St. Church of Christ at 819 Russell St. might be reinvented as a boutique hotel. The 3 story, 17,000 sq. ft. structure on .56 acres at NW corner of Russell and South 9th St. features Romanesque Revival architecture and sits within the Edgefield Historic Preservation Overlay District.  The surface lot across the street for 70 cars is also included in the property.

Micah Lacher wants to buy the building from current tenant Life Church International (a struggling church) and convert it to a boutique hotel. A recent LoopNet listing has the asking price at $2.195 million.
