Early 70s (No “flying saucer” topped Hyatt Regency-now Sheraton Grand).

That blank wall on the 10 story AT&T structure facing 2nd Ave. North is just begging for a spectacular mural or night time laser/high def. projection art installation.  (Courtesy of Music City Aerial):

I say it's begging to be moved! Along with the building next to it!

Reminds me of Cite Memoire in Montreal.  Really awesome urban lighting installation. 

The Notre-Dame and Jacques-Cartier Bridge installations were designed by Moment Factory which is an incredible company that combines video, lighting, architecture, sound and special effects.

That's more like 1940, not 1912. The Sudekum Building wasn't built until the early '30s, and you can see several others from that era as well.

I actually have a postcard of this. It's one of the oldest cards in the my collection of postcards of city skylines (from the U.S. and the world). I have about 1,000 dating from the late 1960s to the late 2000s.

I'm hoping to sell it one day, so if anybody is interested in buying (or knows somebody who might be) ... contact me.

Based on the years that specific buildings were completed, I'd guess that picture is from 1973.  Is that yellow building in the center foreground still standing? What was it?  But look how barren the area was that's now Metro Center.

One last shot from Blue Angels flyover of Nashville earlier in the week:

Got a drone!  Just figuring things out a bit before I take it out to the urban jungle.  This is a shot of the College Grove area where I live right off 840.  Looking forward to exploring more of the state.   (dji Mavic Air 2)

I have that same postcard, too. One of my favorites.

That yellow building was demo'd between 1997-2000 and has been an empty lot for over 20 years. I'm forgetting what it was, possibly an auto supply store ?

The view of the lot today: https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1524532,-86.7732822,3a,60y,31.86h,90.55t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJFN3N2Emm1-ivyC5dNVDxw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
