A walk around downtown today. Some of these are updated favorites from years past.


The skyline, as viewed through the lens of "Ghost Ballet."


The SoBro skyline, with the new JW Marriott rising in the background.


From the water's edge. More SoBro. Amazing that none of those towers existed before 2005-6, and only two of them were there before 2015.


With "Ghost Ballet" in frame.


The main skyline. It's such an interesting perspective being right down on the shore. It doesn't translate as well in pictures (perhaps more for SoBro), but the buildings seem a little more imposing, since you're looking at them from what might as well be 30' below "ground level"...


The landing, and looking down the Cumberland River (flowing north, here). I am so glad the city has finally started to invest in the waterfront. There is still a lot of work to do, but it is such a great asset to have, and especially important since we are not a coastal city.




This was difficult to frame....since I was using my phone. And it was bright, so I couldn't really see the display.




A city rises from the jungle...


Surprise visitor! The General Jackson.


Notice the smokestacks are angled down so it can clear the bridges downtown.




From the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge (formerly the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge).


Back so soon?!




Headed back towards Opryland, through the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge. Rolling Mill Hill can be seen to the top right.


L-R: 222 2nd Ave S (office), Hyatt Place (hotel), The SoBro (apartments), Encore (condos), Bridgestone North America (corporate HQ), Pinnacle (office).


The 45-story, 523' 505 (apartments) is topped out and the exterior is nearly complete. It will not be the tallest building by actual height (Batman still holds that title), but it will have the tallest occupied floor by a considerable margin.


The Schermerhorn Symphony Center (middle-left), the JW Marriott (the oval shaped building with the crane), Bridgestone Arena (middle -- also to note it is the 5th busiest concert venue in the US), and Cambria (hotel) rising above the arena (don't worry -- the blue isn't the final color. It will have cladding).


Pinnacle.


Florida Georgia Line is garbage.


A hole in Bridgestone...


Schermerhorn, with the JW Marriott in the background.


Construction of the Moxy (hotel) at 3rd and Broad (former Trail West building).


The Holy Temple of Hockey.


Demolition of the old convention center to make way for the new 5th + Broad development (Residential, office, retail, museum).


Musicians walking to their car after a gig. The historic Ryman Auditorium on your left, the famous Tootsie's Orchid lounge on your right.


505


Construction of the Dream Hotel on 4th (backs up to Printer's Alley), which will combine new construction with the rehab of some existing historic buildings.


More of the Dream. The yellow brick building behind it is also being rehabbed to become a boutique hotel. The former Noel Place will become the Noelle (weird?), part of Starwood's Tribute Portfolio.


Yes, that is a bus on top of a building. It is going to be a bar, on top of yet another hotel conversion in the area (this one is The Bobby). With all of the big name, towering hotels being built around the Music City Center, there is actually quite a bit of hotel activity in this little corner of downtown (more or less centered around Printer's Alley). It will become somewhat of a boutique hotel district.


(I'm not particularly fond of the angles in this shot)...to the right of the Hotel Indigo, you can see yet another boutique hotel in the works (the building with the exposed sort of seafoam green area on its roof)...The Fairlane.


The seat of the Metro Nashville government, in all of its Deco glory.


Random.


UBS....originally built as First American Bank.


A re-hash of an old favorite.


Deaderick St. Tennessee Tower (Snodgrass), the War Memorial Auditorium, and Legislative Plaza.


Doubletree Hotel (left) and Bank of America (right).


The plaza in-between.


Walking up to Legislative Plaza.


L-R: James K Polk, Fifth Third Bank, First Tennessee, 505, Hermitage Hotel.








Who wants to climb that ladder?


I love how the reflection of the cloud almost makes it appear as if the top of the building is invisible. It completes the shape of the cloud.




Construction mess.


Alley graffiti behind McKendree.


2nd Ave.


Cumberland Park.


I'd love to do this again with a real camera, at some point.

^^^ Too bad the Courthouse took the Stand With Us banner down before you were there. That thing was hanging out front well into July.
