Robert Solomon was attracted to the building as a site to redevelop Woodland Studios, his Five Points business that was destroyed by the 1998 tornado that hit East Nashville.
He plans to rehab the facility, for not only a theater that will feature independent films and performances, but he also hopes to include a live high quality studio to give artists a chance to have their acts recorded.

Old Laundromat coming on market
Posted in: Real estate
The old laundromat, corner shop building at Arrington and Meridian is coming on the market.This building is a good commercial space in an area moving the direction of Germantown and 5-points. The old Roxy theater on the next block up just sold, so this area could become a revitalized urban commercial space soon.
I (Josh) live across the street from it, and I’m not moving anytime soon. I’d love to be helpful to someone who has a good idea for this place.

It looks like an historic house scheduled for demolition has been re-slated for renovation! I heard that Habitat for Humanity will invest $70k to fix it up.
Mighty applause to neighborhood residents, our councilperson, Habitat and the city of Nashville that made this happen.

Tonight at 6:30pm there’s a neighborhood potluck dinner at McFerrin Park Community Center located at 310 Grace Street. There will likely be a meeting as well (there was last year), but there will also be food! So bring a yummy dish and come on out and meet and mingle with neighbors!

Lots of cops on Arrington
Monday night about 20 police, fire, and medical vehicles showed up Arrington at 10:45pm. I thought it must have been a planned sting/bust/round-up. Turns out it was a tail-light stop on a pickup truck, that turned out to be a man with a warrant who caught an officer in the door and dragged him 90 feet!
