Heading to the soccer match yesterday snapped off a couple quickies. Great turnout - proud of our town. Fun day, but got totally baked facing the sun in our seats....

..But unfortunately, most of us in this audience also will be out of here, by the time much of that industrial marsh-dismal has become transformed.  A lot of ops for such plants that remain along the northern part of the West Bank need rail and river terminals, and they tend to prefer them to be relatively close to a metropolitan area, for keeping the transport tariffs low.

This particular one admittedly is an eyesore on a huge tract of property.

Took a ride on the "Pontoon Saloon" this weekend and snapped a few pics from the cumberland.

Apologies for the randomness of the shots. Had no plans of taking pics, so they're a bit haphazard. Poor framing and such.

 

Imagine this view in 5 years....

It'll really be nice when the trees along KVB and the round about mature.  It'll make for a really nice boulevard feel.  And, while I have no issue with the Sticks public art feature, that round about should have been reserved for a modern sculpture and fountain.  Sticks could have been done in a median elsewhere in the city.  Just out of curiosity... have any of you ever seen tourist posing for pictures in front of Sticks?

Few people are going to risk causing an accident and getting incarcerated or sued? That is an ultra busy roundabout. It is much safer for them to take a picture from across the street.

[smeagolsfree]

Nobody is going to take a picture of it because they don't know how to label the photo.

Yeah, I wouldn't think so.  I wasn't thinking they would actually go over to the circle.  But rather take photo's from the outer vantage points of the circle.

It would have been nice if they had made the circle larger with cross walks like some of the circles in DC which are like small parks.  Of course that was very intentional by Pierre Charles L’Enfant, the person appointed by George Washington to layout the design of the city.  For Nashville to do similar circles today would be very expensive to acquire the necessary land.

[KJHburg]

Here is my photo from May and I was a tourist and because of long waits to go around the circle there was plenty of time to take one from my windshield.

KJHburg...what do you think of "Sticks" (or whatever it's called)?   Would love to hear from an "out-of-towner."

I thought Godzilla had visited Smashville and smashed some straws there LOL  

Seriously it seemed to be a major intersection that should have something more related to Nashville maybe. Even a huge fountain would have been nice,  Since the convention center was right down the way and several major hotels  Nashville was or still is called the Athens of the South so maybe something like a grand fountain or something less abstract.I realize public art is usually very controversial but what about a huge musical note with water shooting all around it?

Tour bus view of riverfront from last November.  Amazing how much can change in just 7 months.  I think that this angle could be one of the better iconic views of the riverfront for the future (courtesy of Shelley Mays):
