Just for fun...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I got a little impatient and wanted to see what all these projects might look like added to our skyline. So i had a little fun in Google Earth Pro. I could only do straight vertical lines and the buildings are in no way accurate as far as shape, but they are fairly accurate in height for the most part. I frequently browse Smeags development map and it was the inspiration for this rough draft of a 3D version. It doesn't have all projects and my key (see below) probably isn't totally accurate, but I thought I'd share what i have so far. I took some creative liberties on a few, but again, it's just for fun. See some screen shots i took below.

Red - Under Construction

Blue - Proposed

Purple - Planning

Yellow - stalled or dead or who knows.

And by the time this is completed, the interstate probably won't change either LOL

2. Would it be possible to export the .kml file of that project and post it here? I'd love to play around with this.

Thank you sir!

Sure! I will try to export it tonight after I clean up a few things. I will post it the Development Map thread though, that’s probably the most appropriate place for it.

Amazed that remnants of the signage for the Nashville Sporting Goods Co. is still there.   At one point that was the primary retail store in Nashville to buy all types of sporting equipment.  Are there plans for that building?  It would be nice to keep that section of Rosa Parks Blvd intact to provide a break from the modern towers going up in that area.

I saw that earlier too, and was like, WOW they have to keep that building intact--and the sign on the front and the painted Sears advertisement. Rehab the building or keep it as part of a new development, but keep it! It has a ton of character and history.

TBT: West End Methodist Church at Broadway and 16th Ave. (circa 1890) around 1935. It was torn down in 1940 to make way for a car dealership.  Church relocated to new structure at 2200 West End Ave. which still active and stands today.

We don't know the condition of this building.  It could've been in need of very expensive repairs and upgrades.  It was probably too small, as West End Methodist Church took the money from the sale of that facility to build a gorgeous church further down West End Ave which is now one of the city's most iconic churches with one of Nashville's most magnificent pipe organs.  I don't blame them at all for selling out.
