I love this art! I think it looks great and fits into that space perfectly.

I just feel like it's incomplete...kinda like the Music Row Roundabout with the statues.  There was something incomplete about it...until they recently revealed the water feature...which makes that an incredible, notable artwork.  Just seems like something should go with this art...like neon lights or some other feature that brings it to life.

I completely agree...I mean, I suppose it has potential for sure but I'm kinda left thinking, 'so...it's just sticks jutting out from a muddy grass patch?'  It does seem like there'd be some other feature to really set it off and make it look more established.  Right now, it has a very unfinished look about it.

The one thing that always looked odd to me in the MR Roundabout were the little bushes around the edge and the grass.  It just didn't fit.  It looked "bushleague" (no pun intended).  Now...with the water-feature...world class.

If they just leave all of that area around these poles as grass...it will always look unfinished.  Even coming out of concrete would look more complete and more "urban."  Stained concrete?  Some type of pavers?  Something other than grass.

How about a beautiful stone wall around it?

Aesthetic. Will give the roundabout more dimension. And will prevent cars from crashing into the poles.

Finally a good shot from the Science Center showing the Westin and SoBro.

Some great aerial shots in today's Tennessean...

The Bridgestone Tower is coming along.  Parking garage levels are going up quickly over the 2-story tall "first floor."

Apologies for some issues with my photo posts.  For some reason, the forum set-up is putting the photos in a different order from what I am posting them.  When I attempt to go back and edit to make things flow better, it won't allow any corrections.  If anyone has ideas on how to remedy this, I would appreciate it.  I've been able to make corrections easily before, but in the past few days that option is not working, no matter what computer or server I use.

Titanhog where did you access the camera? I looked at their website and the old view is still showing. I actually emailed them last week asking if the camera could be panned over to see the rest of the skyline. Not sure why I'm having issues seeing the image that you posted.

Holes filling in nicely.

This one was off of the News 2 camera at the ASC...which I think is a little different than the actual ASC camera.

Oh I see. I wasn't aware that News 2 had a camera.  I will have to go to their website and check it out. Thanks!

Thanks but I found it. It's a nice view. It would be nice if the Gulch and midtown were included. It's like having a live window of Nashville here in Virginia Beach!

Thank you! :-)

Nope, still can't find it in my heart to like Stix... Nashville's taxpayers and urban enthusiasts got cheated out of what could have been an amazing focal piece. Even Ghost Ballet is better than this unimaginative pile of lumber.

Westin progress: A close-up of the curved crown on the western side that was put in place today. I guess it is officially topped-out now.  Other shots from Sunday.

 

[BnaBreaker]

Is it just me, or did the Westin go up in like four days?  lol

[MidTenn1]

 ⬆️   ⬆️   The Skyhouse has gone up in three days!!
