Downtown Home Tour 2012

Robin and I were fortunate to meet the owner of this loft in downtown Nashville; he mentioned that the only eye soar of his loft was the AT&T building behind him on Second Avenue. Only about four people worked in this eye soar, but other workers could remote into it. He has a new understanding and appreciation for this building since the Nashville flood though.

He had been gone on a business trip, and he ran into his neighbor on the way back home to Nashville after the flood of Nashville several years ago. They asked him if he knew why the building where his loft was didn't flood. It was that eye soar of a building; the government had decided to sand bag that AT&T building. It is actually the land line hub for the southern part of the US. It was his neighbors understanding that they had protected this phone service building with so much concentration that it is reason why the Gaylord Opryland area flooded.

Now I do not know how much truth is to this story; I do know that this loft was so beautifully decorated, and it even had a swing on the outside balcony. We only saw two swings on our tour.

This owner was one of the nicest owners on the tour; he was an owner of one of the galleries downtown also, and he had opened his gallery today for all the people to see while taking their self-guided tour. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go check it out.
