I saw this photo for a Germantown home for sale on zillow.

Nothing quite like Bridgestone Arena bathed in gold.

Cool shot from the Adventure Science Center cam as rain clouds move through.

Assuming JWM is halfway up... imagine how tall that sucker will be upon topping out.

^ ^ ^ Another interesting thought: In the next 5-7 years, you probably won't even be able to see the Music City Center from this angle due to upcoming developments like Mainland at KVB Circle, Sixth Ave. South Apartments, Patel's dream of a hotel along KVB and 6th, and who knows what else that will be going in around there.  

Additionally, the Embassy Suites is going to almost completely blot out the Renaissance from this angle, and the Marriott Tri-Brand will block most of the Omni.  

Pretty amazing changes ahead.  : )

Won't 5th and Broad block a good bit of the old downtown as we knew it? 

[titanhog]

In a few years, it will be fun to try and find the best angle in Nashville to get a photo with the most buildings showing up.

Shots will have to taken from further back. I like hearing complaints about obstructed views; buildings are blocking the view of.......buildings. Sounds like my kind of problem!

Atmosphere was amazing Saturday. It was crazy seeing the line to get into the concert along with all the people downtown for the Preds. 

Anyone know if tv showed shots of the concert from the sky? I saw a helicopter fly over a bunch of times. 30 Seconds to Mars was the main reason I went, but wow Muse really knows how to put on a good show.

Let's go Preds!

Nice pic. Looks more Midwestern city than Southern.

I can't believe Muse and 30 STM did a show in such a small venue.  I mean, Muse sometimes does football stadiums, right?

Didn't see any overhead shots during the game.  However, there was one shot by NBC during the game that was really nice.  It's probably from the same vantage point as the picture above with the Stanley Cup trophy.  The shot was of the river looking south towards downtown.  It was a great view that captured the skyline extending into Sobro.  So not the normal shot that is so overdone of the batman building and everything else clustered behind it.  You could see the pedestrian bridge and the KVB bridge and you could see the skyline which appeared to hover along the rivers shore.

That's not quite a compliment, is it? Let's not conflate the density of urban decay for which much diminished Midwestern industrial centers are known for currently with the [reclamation] of populated places in close proximity for which even our Southern cities were once known. ;-)

 

This looks like Nashville.

One of the top ten skyline photos in a long time. Where did this strange, beautiful new city come from and what did they do with my Nashville??

I watched this entire Muse concert Live from Rome Olympic Stadium on MTVLive the other night.  Incredible.  Probably my favorite live band.

Could not see what you mean with "This looks like Nashville".

Actually, I meant it as a neutral comment based on the close-in neighborhoods, which other Southern cities have, but usually with a lot more tree canopy. Also those residential neighborhoods in the larger cities (and even midsize) in the south are still predominantly single family dwellings. Atlanta has changed so much, but even VaHi, Prado, Candler and Grant Park, C'town, and large swaths northeast are SFDs.

That particular shot of Nashville shows the big apartment blocks that have popped up in G'town.  And as is the case in the major "southern" cities (excluding FL and TX), there are usually curved streets and spotty pockets of skyscrapers, with notable exceptions in ATL and CLT.  That angle of Nashville shows a straight street and a dense downtown, which I am accustomed to seeing more in the Midwest (a'la KCMO, MPLS or even INDY). Then there are also several masonry low-rise buildings in that shot, which serve to remind of the older core population centers of those cities.

The photo just struck me that way. So I raised that flag to see if anyone agrees... and while that shot does not show the industrial decay of Nashville, even Detroit can get a fairly good photo angle from Woodward Avenue.  I understand your point, but let's not forget that there are still lots of Southern cities with industrial decay.

Did I say something wrong?? Wasn't saying that the photo reminded me of Birmingham. My comment was in reference to the last part of MLBrumby's post about Southern cities with industrial decay. At least the last time I was there it appeared that way in some areas.
