BillHobbs.com is a frequently updated blog of original reporting and commentary by Bill Hobbs, a longtime Nashville journalist and media relations adviser. I am currently serving as communications director for the Tennessee Republican Party, a job I began on Oct. 29, 2007.
This was the view from the sixth level of the parking garage, looking out over the soccer field, as I left work this afternoon. That glowing light on the Nashville skyline is apparently caused by a large yellow ball of fire in the sky, something we often see during the summer months but rarely in January and, indeed, have seen only briefly this perennially gray month. Click the image to see a larger version. Also, on the other side of the orange brick house on the left side of the photo is where they're blasting for the hole where a new underground parking garage will go (beneath a new building for the Gordon E. Inman College of Health Sciences & Nursing). You can see the back of that house - which eventually will be demolished for phase 2 of the Health Sciences complex - in the background of this photo from today's blast.
