This is a very minor gripe, but something I don't particularly like about that cluster of Sobro highrises is that in certain shots you really have to be staring right at them in order to even notice that they are there, because they kind of just blend into their surroundings depending on the lighting, especially Bridgestone.  Anyway.. . great shot.

The garage on 7th and Commerce in the bottom left is being torn down right now to make way for the new federal courthouse. Kind of amazing that it has been there for at least 77 years. When you think about it, the idea of a parking garage must have been really forward thinking when they built it.

Oh, if only 6th Ave. still connected from Broadway to Commerce.      Note the block of storefronts fronting Broadway between 5th and 6th (where the old convention center is currently being cleared for 5th and Broad).

Even though our buildings are much taller, it's amazing how dense the older photo looks. We sure didn't have as many surface parking lots. 

[markhollin]

^ ^ ^ There weren't nearly as many cars then, and there were plenty of street cars and busses that more folks utilized at that time.

Yeah, that gap between Demonbruen and Broadway and the AT&T's odd architecture tends to draw your eyes away from the buidings in SoBro.

SAP, 5th/Broadway and Embassy will all go a long way towards correcting that.

Snapped a few pics from the Nashville City Cemetery on Sunday November 5th.   The fall colors and the resting places of so many of the city's founders made for a great way to spend the morning.   *edit to correct the date

Per a story behind the paywall at NBJ, Pinnacle bank to double the size of it's signage on Pinnacle Tower.

I actually don't mind that because if you're going to have naming rights atop a tower, make it big and bold. The size of the current versus the two glass faces they're on is pretty bad.

That will make it sound taller.
