^^Great shot.  I just wish there was someplace along the river that could really catch the size and scope of our downtown.

I absolutely love the crown on this building.

Maybe Tony G will announce he's going to build an updated version of Signature Tower in SoBro and give those of us who desire a nice building with a crown on it what we've all been waiting on....  While I want to see an actual 50+ story building for Nashville, I'd take a 40 story building with a 10 story crown...

Mobile has a tower similar to that one. Its one of my favorite towers in the U.S.. Surely if mobile has one, then we can get one

I thought the tower in Mobile was cool. I remember the locals calling it the birdcage.

Actually they have two...  one is just taller than the other.  So, Nashville should at least have one.... 

You gotta love the night impact... So, just imagine how Signature Tower Crown would have accented Nashville's skyline at night.

^^^^Actually the tower on the left had the spire added many years later. The building itself has been around for a while.

Hmmmm... which building in downtown Nashville would be a good candidate for an addition of a crown?

Yes, because the crappy "christmas light" string that have on the top now at night is embarrassing.  

[donNdonelson2]

They have a string of crappy Christmas lights atop the Smodgrass now?

Friend of a friend took this from the top of Bridgestone.

That's sad when a 3 high rise skyline looks better than Nashville's very own.

All subjective, of course, but I'd have to disagree.  The RSA Battlehouse Tower is indeed a lovely tower, but the Nashville skyline overall is in another universe than Mobile's, in my opinion.  It'd be like comparing Nashville's skyline with Chicago's.

I would love at least one tower in Nashville with a beautiful crown.

[GreenHillsBoy]

Maybe some of this can go to the Mobile site instead of here.

Yeah I'm exaggerating a little with a tad of sarcasm lol.

From Sunday night (late) headed to my rideshare. :-) Enjoying the ever changing views - new buildings next to old(er).
