Weird seeing this bumped again but thanks for all the compliments. I'll take some more pics of different neighborhood when the weather is better.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. No one quoting my original post with pics. However, I did post a separate set of pictures which you'll notice if you look closer.

If you'll look closely at the thread you will notice that I edited a post that had quoted ALL of your pictures. The quote of all of the pictures was causing an annoyance for several members.

Thanks for sharing your pics. My husband and I are leaving Ontario, Canada to go to Nashville for the first time April 20. I'm so excited and would also like to see some of the homes where the Country singers live...lol. If anyone has any suggestions to make our trip everything it should be for 1st time visitors to Nashville please email me at rhawnie@gmail.com. Thank you very much.

Wow! Nashville is an absolutely beautiful city, and this comes from a Rust-Belter who usually admonishes the "New South" for all of its legendary issues with urban sprawl. There's a surprising amount of residential development occurring downtown despite the recession, and the more people who are living downtown, the more likely you will be to keep it booming! Wonderful! I have to go to Memphis in June to do training for my new job in Virginia, and if the government lets me I might just drive down instead of flying down so I can take a side-trip to see Downtown Nashville for a few hours.

I love love love these pics! I'm glad this thread was resurrected.

One thing I found funny. Under one pic the OP wrote "more Encore." That's funny to me because in French "encore" means "more" so it's like saying "more more."

Have the Pinnacle or West End Summit sites started building or were they pushed back for the recession?

ETA- Googled. Looks like WES is stalled, without a lead tenant and/or financing, or perhaps dead. The Pinnacle was topped out not long ago and is moving along quite nicely.

Good luck...TN is a good choice!

it is kind of surprising...i thought it would be prettier...one of the problems is that the downtown is just to small to showcase the newer buildings. additionally, the very lowrise buildings look like ghetto buildings. look at the wiki site. the low buildings in the picture diminishes the new structures. looks like building code/architects would see these problems. guess they just want to sell buildings, though.

Scran,
My son just had 2 friends here from NJ, Both now want to move here. The one that came this weekend said when he gets home he will be looking for jobs here, he loved it so much.

You need to be Downtown on a Saurday night! Now, Memphis, ya'll see why we call it the armpit of the state.

yes, i know people in memphis know why nashville has that unfortunate title of "armpit of the state!" perhaps in 25-30 years the town will be able to overcome that sterotype...hopefully.

Funny, I thought that was Newport.
