December 5, 2005- These pictures were taken today of the Harpeth Shoals Marina project. The project is awaiting approval by the Corps of Engineers to alter Marks Creek. The marina developers are going to bulldoze through Marks Creek to allow the Cumberland River to fill the harbor.  It will forever change the eco-system of Marks Creek and the wetlands in the area.

December 5, 2005- Riverfront Re-Development public meeting was held at 1419 8th Ave. N. From what was witnessed it looks like it might benefit downtown Nashville to make it more eco-friendly.

We'll have to wait and see.

October 2005- Hickory Hill located on Charlotte Pike in West Nashville is gone. Bulldozers are hard at work killing all the ancient trees that are left from this old homeplace. A huge shopping center will replace this beautiful landmark.

A continuing development in Centenary Tennessee, in Davidson Co. The community fought it but was approved anyway by the Planning Commission and the Metro Council.

This huge gravel pile replaced an old house and undoubtedly is part of Metro Nashville's sub-area plan. This is between the top picture and the bottom on Old Charlotte Pike, in West Nashville.

This is what the Metro Council has planned for West Nashville. This development took out a whole hillside out, and is just up the road from the Centenary development and the gravel pile in the pictures above.
