How has that lot not been developed yet? I just don’t get it? Prime space in downtown.  

If its the lot behind Hume Fogg it is owned by the Carell family and they have no incentive to sell as they have no need for the money. At some point someone will put a horsehead in their bed and make them an offer they cant refuse but who knows when that will be.

Yeah, we definitely wouldn't want new modern buildings. Buildings that will never look old and decrepit. Nashville really screwed up.

I believe Smeagoisfree is simply comparing how different buildings looked 40 years ago compared with today. I didn't interpret his observation as a complaint

Anyone have a photo of what was there before it burned down? If it was more of what already lines Second Avenue with exception of the hideous ATT switching building, then that's nothing short of tragic. And that gets me to one of my pet peeves of developers: buying buildings instead of vacant lots on which to build their projects. What if that had been done on Broadway 40 years ago? Based on everything I've heard about Broadway (Lower Broad) it was not just rundown, but overrun by crime.

Yep, The old guard that didnt want anything to change in Nashville wanted their way and thank goodness they didnt get their way. You always have to make room for new ideas and growth, even if some of us dont want it.

There are things I dont like, but who am I to stand in the way of progress. All I can do is sit on my front porch, rather my back deck and shout at the groundhogs and raccoons messing my grass up.
