Got my camera back and took a bunch of aerials from two seperate towers both before and after shipping the thing off to get fixed. This is my collection of pics that I have from both excursions into downtown towers. One set is from the Renaissance Hotel's 31st floor, and the other is from the Financial Center's (old Suntrust Tower), 30th floor YMCA Penthouse. Enjoy and btw, happy spring.

I may have snuck a few ground level shots in here two, so kiss my butt. LOL!!!

Renaissance Tower views. Some of these have been posted on here before so sue me.

What a scary job that has to be!

I got an itch, so let me scratch already!

Smell the Grits cooking???? How about the Bar B Que???

HAHAHAHA!!

Coward.

GOD look at the density!!!

In case you don't get it......muhahahaha!

Historic 'hoods up this way.

Still a car based society.

Financial Center's 30th floor.

You feel me knockin??

Then let me in.

How many on this deck are illegal? $20 to the first one that can correctly answer this question.

How many are illegal?

I'm going to guess none. Do I win?

And thank you for allowing me to vicariously go to the top of buildings.

DING DING DING!!! LOL!! Yeah, I thought with the recent march downtown and stuff, a little satire would be okay in this case. It was meant to be a joke for those wondering. LOL!!!!

BTW, you're welcome.

Funny you bring that up. I did a Murfreesboro tour today. Just got to get everything ready to post.

Well it was downtown and the Greenway that got my attention today, not the housing stock (which is quite impressive I might add).

Now I know what I missed when we weren't able to go up to the Financial Center top with Cliff at the March forum meet. The views up there are awesome. That mid-town pano you took from up there is great stuff!

[jice]

Great pics as usual.

And man... I am convinced that you are not afraid to take a picture of anyone or anything lol.

[city watcher]

Lexy,

Dito

I will cherish that picture because In a few years west end will not look the same. I will

look back on that picture in shock

[Lexy]

^ That's one of the reasons I took it. LOL!!!

[city watcher]

Does vanderbilt look like some kind of nuclear bio chemical W.M.D. compound to you?

Kinda spooky looking

[Lexy]

It is a bizarre complex, but it is good to know that it is for the betterment of the community. LOL!!!!

I have often wondered just how many buildings make up the hospital complex.

[ATLBrain]

As I look at that photo of the West End two things come to mind. First is the slew of new buildings about to go up on that side of town. Second is the amount of absolutely amazing houses that you can't see, but they are all around that ridge in the distance. You can also see that condo tower out in Bellevue.

[Lexy]

I would love to get some shots from the top of that tower waaayyyyy out there. Looks like they would be very interesting shots too.

I lived in Nashville for a while in the mid-1970s. GOD has it changed.

Please tell me that the building that appears to be eating the L&C tower is just going up directly across the street and isn't an addition to the L&C tower itself, the way it looks in a couple of your pics. I think the L&C tower is one of the finest examples of a mid-century modern office tower in any city, anywhere. I hope that it will be preserved, even if it's becoming invisible in the midst of a bunch of nowheresville knockoffs.

The BellSouth tower, I'm not worried about. No other building would dare go near it!
