@Baronakimthat mural on the side of that building is super cool. I agree, put something in the Haven. In fact, put murals on every blank wall around town

Better yet, just cover Haven with mirrors so it becomes effectively invisible!

I remember how excited I was to learn of this addition.  Back then, I would literally buy the annual World Almanac and Book of Facts because it would list the skyscrapers in all the major U.S. cities.  I remember when I saw this tower listed for the first time with an asterisk (under construction) and was so hyped to know a 600' tower was coming to my favorite skyline!  It would also list the top 50 cities by population and I'd always check to see where Nashville was.  Back then, I remember how far down the list we were.  An look at us now.

Those two parking lots on the north side of the bridge, are just prime spots for development! 
I look at how close the AT&T tower is to Broadway and can’t figure out why another substantial tower couldn’t fit in there.

I can remember working at The Holiday Inn Crown Plaza, going to the top floor were the Pinnacle restaurant was at the time and watching the  construction progress from floor to floor.

Looking NW from KVB at 1st Ave. South. Interesting to think that nearly every structure in this shot did not exist 5 years ago.

TBT: Map of The Gulch area in 1908.  There is a lot of curiosity about the "Alligator Pond & Fountain just east of Union Station.

I sort of misread that thinking you were trying to feed drunk bachelorettes to the alligators.

My brother-in-law had an older World Almanac and I photo'd the Nashville part of the tall buildings page, here.

The height on the Andrew Jackson building should be 286' and not what is shown. I don't remember the year.
