Historic Nashville Photos from the Nashville Public Library

[BnaBreaker]

Moderators, please forgive me if it was innappropriate for me to start a brand new thread just for these photos.  Obviously, feel free to move this to wherever you feel is best.  The Nashville Public Library just put a lot of new amazing historic photos of Nashville up on their Flickr page, and I didn't think people should miss them.  Plus, I didn't want to bog down the Projects/construction/photo du jour thread with a hundred photos.  Anyway, let's get to this incredible gold mine of photos!!!  I'm not going to lie... some of these photos make me literally sick to my stomach seeing all we've lost.  There is an aerial photo on their page of post fire 1916 East Nashville that was just too heart breaking for me to post.  

*Just a note... DEFINITELY go check out the link to the library's flickr page posted underneath every photo.  This is only a taste...there are NINETY ONE PAGES of photos there!
