It's on the edge of downtown, it's still a solid hunk of density, and it carries the flag of one of the most influential companies in the world. Sure, I'm a little disappointed in the size, but the ne

Not to mention the 600 jobs being added by Ernst & Young today. I am hearing its official to Nashville Yards.

Amazon is planning on hiring 1,000 people in Nashville by the end of 2019, and will temporarily set up shop at Sun Trust Plaza on Commerce & 5th Ave. North until their towers are built in Nashville Yards.

Any details regarding the end goal of this "Tipping Point" group, beyond their need to gather and vent? Seems like the Amazon train has already left the station, so their options would be pretty limited at this point.

Maybe it's a pre-emptive strike in case Nashville tries to woo those 25,000 jobs away from NYC.

I'm curious, though.  Would Nashville Yards be big enough on its own to handle another 10-15,000 Amazon jobs in case Amazon does decide to abandon its NYC plans and divided those 25,000 jobs between Nashville and NOVA?

This is what the bit.ly link on the invitation goes to... So I'm not entirely sure how organized it is.

Whoa, I'll take that down, I didn't realize it would blow the link up. It's a screen shot of an awful text conversation by people who sound crazy.

The quotes I read from the Amazon event the other night led me to believe that Amazon felt that 5,000 was the right number for Nashville and it may be a stretch at this point to take on more, but you never know. Maybe we could get another 5K if they started feeling good about initial recruitment. Judging by Seattle Amazon doesn't need all of its employees on one campus if Yards doesn't have it.

I think I would chock it up to ineptitude on their part. I mean anytime you are printing something with a link you check it 100 times. Send it to print, have a mini panic and check it like 20 more times, haha.

Yeah. Also just create a URL that's easy to spell. You don't need a Bit.Ly with a dozen random number and letters on something printed and handed out.

Maybe we should show up with posters that say, "Welcome to Nashville!  Now y'all go back home."

Opinion piece in the Tennessean about this event and Amazon. 

Reads like a JV Green New Deal

I am not sure what they are demanding Amazon to actually do?
