Thank you!

 

 If I may, I'd like to submit this view as well.  The density within West End and Midtown is really starting to go up along the major roads.

Amazing!!! It's crazy how much the city has changed. I am so thankful that we have Centennial Park, it's a true gem.  Is the major roadway on the left Charlotte or Church St.?

Yep,still waiting.As many apartments and condos  built and being built in this area the last 5 years,i just can't  believe this prime piece continues to sit there empty.The ballpark feels incomplete without it.I was excited when I first saw the plans years ago,but now I have little faith anything will get done any time soon.I think the sounds own it so I can see them sitting on it for years sadly.

Is that really Nashville?!?! Looks like lower Manhattan or something. Are the buildings on the left and right with the columns still there? I’m having trouble thinking of what is currently at this intersection.

The ones on the left (south side of Union at 3rd) are still there, but 3 square blocks along the north (right) side from 1st to 4th below Deaderick were all demolished in the 1960s/early '70s (and then all the way up to Legislative Plaza shortly after for TPAC). The block between 3rd and 4th was where the First American would go up, but the 2 blocks to 1st were made into parking lots for the Courthouse (now the park). A dreadful loss of 19th and early 20th century buildings (and then the entirety of the buildings surrounding the courthouse were demolished by 1974).
