It’s interesting to read historical population trends and compare them to current Nashville. For instance, Nashville is more than 10 times as large as the London of St. Thomas More (early 1500s) or the Rome of St. Benedict (6th century), and about two and a half times as large as the London of James I (early 1600s). Of course, population density was a lot higher pre-automobile so it probably felt like a much larger, winding city, but still.

TBT: Schermerhorn Symphony Hall construction, 2005:

I really do enjoy Google Photos. They just randomly surprise me with these automatic panoramas and such that are quite cool:

And a few from a quick stroll this morning:

Wow I had no clue the  Schermerhorn Symphony Hall was that new. For some reason I thought it had been here for 30-40 years. Where did the symphony place before this?

If I recall, they played in War Memorial sometimes; but mostly in the largest theater (Andrew Jackson) in TPAC.

War Memorial Auditorium...  

And yes, I did hear them at the Jackson Theater.

^^I'm thinking the level of the crown that you see now is going to be just the first of 3 levels.

A unique shot.  Was this taken after some flooding in the Titans parking lot?  It is too high to be a shot from the river's edge.  No matter the circumstance, I really like it.

Hard to believe that Nashville was able to pull off that conversion center without it being a box.

I  was thinking that, or at least one more section like what is already in place. The height of the current frame looks like it's divided into three sections horizontally.  I  just hope this is not the final height, but regardless, it's a gorgeous tower.

On the renders, it appears the crown is about 3 times the height of the restaurant level...so I'm hopeful they stick with that.

Such a beautiful building already  wish the city was full of these out of the BOX designs

I dont know why but for some reason I always had in my mind that the tunnel under broadway was closer to 5th than 6th.  Clearly I was wrong.

What is the current use of this building? I pass it all the time and I’ve been wondering for years.
