News coming soon on Hollywood Casino's plans to be a Barstool Sportsbook. Should be good to go by Sept. 9th (NASCAR race weekend and 1st weekend of the NFL season)
Haven't been there in ages. Heard the fountain isn't functioning anymore. True?MidtownCat wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 6:05 pm Walked the Legends shopping district for the first time in quite a while and was shocked at how much the property on the whole has deteriorated. Trash everywhere and overall condition is in some pretty rough shape. Hopefully, they have some capital improvements dollars socked away because it needs a facelift badly.

All the fastest growing cities are doing it by sprawl, not building their city cores anymore. It’s sad.Critical_Mass wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:17 pm8 story 'Mid Rise Urban Apartments'...if they built this in the river market or mid-town, they'd call it a high rise!GRID wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:04 pmprobably thisbeermestrength wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 11:27 am Drove past on I-70 yesterday and noticed a construction crane up in The Legends area.

Austin yes (always the one exception somehow) but this decade so far Nashville isn’t growing nearly as fast as they used to. They’re doing relatively well but still not the same.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:48 pmNashville and Austin are building up….AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:37 pmAll the fastest growing cities are doing it by sprawl, not building their city cores anymore.

Yeah, I was going to say. You can spin the data all you want. Nashville is sill building tons of towers and has tons more in the pipeline.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:58 pm Nashville took a major hit when they failed to pass Let’s Move. Despite it, dozens and dozens of towers are still in pipeline
lol. Also every single suburban development in metro KC is labeled "mixed use". If you toss a drive through bank pad site in the parking lot of an apartment complex it becomes mixed use.Critical_Mass wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:17 pm8 story 'Mid Rise Urban Apartments'...if they built this in the river market or mid-town, they'd call it a high rise!GRID wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:04 pmprobably thisbeermestrength wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 11:27 am Drove past on I-70 yesterday and noticed a construction crane up in The Legends area.

Legends 267 LLC would own the apartments, The Star reports. Riverside-based Luke Draily Construction has helped plan the project, and Kansas City-based Beck Cal Development is helping to build it.
“Kind of picture maybe a Two Light downtown except a little bit of a smaller version of that,” said Bob Becker, founder and president of Luke Draily Construction.
Their suburbs are mostly what's propelling Nashville. Their downtown grew at a lesser rate than the Nash metro overall- still doing well but it's just the truth. KC's was the opposite where the city grew better than the metro overall. Which is why I was saying in another thread that I think alot of the suburban mindset is shedding here now.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 8:31 pm Downtown Nashville is less than half downtown KC population. They better keep building if they want to kick it with the bigger kids.
But it is a fact that Nashville, like almost every "fastest" growing metro, is gaining mostly through suburban growthGRID wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 4:07 pm I didn't say Nashville was better. KCMO is a much more charming and higher quality place to live with more legacy big city amenities. I'm just seeing people try to talk down what is happening there and that's just silly. It may end up like Houston or Atlanta etc, but it's growing and will likely soon leave KC in its rear view mirror as far as being a relevant metro in this country.
That doesn't mean it will be better. I would choose KC over places like Houston and Atlanta in a heartbeat.
