Great shot! That's a vantage point I don't think I've seen before.

I wish we still had Cain-Sloan & Castner Knott. They’d eat Macy’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

^^^ Is that year right?   What building is that in the middle that's under construction?  You can tell it's pushing 400' and it looks like it's approximately where Fifth Third is but that building wasn't open till 1986.  If the year is right is that James K. Polk build under construction?

I forget what it’s called but could it be the building with the First Tennessee signage, where they originally planned another tower?

That probably is the James K Polk building. What we are looking at is the tower core (elevator shafts and mechanicals). The floors of offices were added from the top down, and are suspended from the exposed framework atop the building. The TPAC theatres are around the core, underneath the office floors. TPAC opened in 1980.

That's the Nashville City Center and it didn't open until '91.

It IS the Polk/TPAC Building. That is the concrete core tower that the steel outer structure was suspended from to allow addition of the Jackson and Polk Theaters. 

I watched them build it and worked in it for 20 +/- years.

I’m a couple of days late here, but this was Wednesday morning at the office. I liked the cloud cover and snapped a photo. I also thought it may be a perspective some of you may not often see.

I know you're NOT referring to the Interstate through Nashville.

Such prime real estate in the foreground. Could be a nice setup for luxury condos or hotels....
