See Rock City, Batman

Here's a shot of the Bellsouth tower, known around Nashville as "the Batman building," that I took a couple weeks ago. Just a quick-grab shot, taken outside Sole Mio restaurant the first night of the BlogNashville conference, when I spotted the juxtaposition of the modern BellSouth tower and old neon sign of the old Rock City Machine Co.

Back when I worked downtown I drove past the Rock City Machine Co. every day en route to work. Rock City Machine has been a ficture in downtown Nashville for decades, and is one of the last few machine shops still downtown from a time when the city was home to numerous such businesses.
