Just stumbled across a couple photos that show downtown... or parts of it... from a much different perspective than usual, and I thought I'd share.  I found them interesting.  The first one is an interesting angle featuring the newest part of the skyline that often doesn't get photographed by itself without it's more familiar cousins.  The second one I thought just offered an interesting juxtaposition between the mountains of scrap metal and the gleaming skyline behind.  Enjoy!

Looking north on 6th ave from 6th x Broadway at some time in the 60s. Great photo.

 

Wow, I think the only building in that entire shot that remains today is the Hermitage Hotel peeking out on the left at the end of the street.

A Sky5 shot of I-24 in NW Davidson County yesterday.  The next time some smarty pants who's never actually been to Nashville smugly insists that Davidson County is nothing but sprawl, I'd like to smack them around with this picture which illustrates why there are huge swaths of Davidson County that are not suitable for large scale development.  Plus, I think this is just darn pretty.

And two early morning shots of Nashville's skyline from the north.

The country music songs don’t call them “the hills of Tennessee” for nothing.

There's no place in the county that traffic pile-ups can't reach.

There's a parking garage on the right. The sign in the photo says "Cain Sloan Parking", whereas now it says "McKendree Parking".

Hmmmm... so was the NCC the catalyst to transform that part of downtown or Bridgestone which came a decade later?  Look at all that has gone up since then NCC.  I actually forgot about how that area used to look.    I always felt like the NCC should have addressed Broadway not Commerce.

Back in 1985 downtown shopping was still in [pretty] full force with Cain Sloan, Castner Knott and plenty of other stores so maybe they were pushing people towards the more desirable part of town?

I can't really fault anyone for wanting to segregate convention attendees from 1980s/1990s Broadway, unless they were planning on hosting adult bookstore and stripper conventions. As an aside, if anyone hears when the next adult bookstore and stripper convention is coming to town please PM me
