If she needs a carry-on, I can make myself available
This seems like a dream come true for some rich Chicago Cubs fan. House would be a complete teardown based on the listing pictures in the article though.
I saw on TBJ the connected two-building office project (tan brick, red brick in your picture) has all office fully leased already. 4 of the 6 ground floor retail spaces are leased as well.
The project, Rogers East and Rogers West, is currently under construction and is slated to open this fall. Office tenants supposed to be ready to move in by November.
The announced tenants are: Gentlemen’s Corner, an upscale men’s clothing boutique; Gail and Grace, a women’s clothing and accessory boutique; (in) tandem salon; and Sono Sushi (2nd location, original is on Fayetteville St).

Nashville’s city council finally approved the $2.1b deal for the new Titans stadium.
It looks nice, but also a bit like someone took a North Hills office building and inflated it like a balloon

That looks infinity times better than our ugly PNC Arena though.

$1.26B in public funding. More than 2x the highest ever total before that. Wild.

Well they are about to redo it, thank goodness. Much as the early-2000s time portal vibe is weirdly nostalgia-inducing.
Also, as the Oilers were the first sports team to be yanked away from me as a kid, I will always jab at the Titans when I have the chance. Professional sports are a heartless business.

Ah yes, the time-honored tradition of gorgeous artist’s renderings depicting how the glorious new football stadium will appear … nine days a year.
Santiago Chile as seen from Cerro San Cristobal. The foothills of the Andes Mountains are (kinda) visible in the background.
The view from the top of Gran Torre Santiago: Tallest building in South America. 980’, 62 stories.

It’s an interesting place. Dogs everywhere, food is good, a little seedier than Buenos Aires, but not as crowded. Made some friends, had some good beers. I’d recommend. Keep your head on a swivel while riding the metro.

Made some new friends and got the VIP tour!
This is their antique pumper from 1873 on display in the station.
I like the green!
This is the tallest ladder truck in South America with a reach of 55 meters, or 180 feet. For reference, most US ladder trucks are 103-110 feet. They call it “Hulk.”
I think I can see Raleigh from here.

Sorry for blowing up the thread. Here’s a few from Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. I’m done now, I promise! Not much going on there in the way of urban development, which is a nice change from Buenos Aires and Santiago. It’s mostly a chill town on the Rio Plata with cobblestone streets, golf cart rentals, and an old fort & lighthouse that’s now a UNESCO world heritage site. It’s an hour ferry ride from BA. I could friggin’ live here. This place is incredible.
