The sign was put up last week and it looks amazing at night! I'm just ready to see the top rim of the building fully lit at night...

If you use your imagination, the sign looks like Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. about to do a "quick draw" with his pistols.

Do we know for sure if the top of the building is going to be lit up? You'd think they would have done it by now since all exterior work appears to be finished.

They aren't that bright. They do change colors the same way though

I got stuck at 5th and church and decided to take a view pictures of the lighted sign changing colors

I saw them testing a single light bar about a month ago: changing colors, flashing, pulsing a single color... Then I watched them installing the rest of the light bars around the entire top of the building. I just haven’t seen the whole thing lit.

I went to a Nashville Lifestyles event Thursday night at the 505. Tony G. is an incredibly nice person. The building is pretty cool. Not mind-blowing, but I'm proud to have it in Nashville.

Looking north on 5th Ave. North near Commerce St:

Workers on the northeast side of the building appeared to be sealing up a few of the windows that remain propped open.

[smeagolsfree]

NOPE!

[TNinVB]

I wonder when the lighting will be turned on at the top?

I took this photo last night from the rooftop terrace of my downtown LA hotel. The simple lighting on these two towers would be the sort of thing well suited for 505.
