Cumberland River from Rolling Mill Hill

We were trying to avoid downtown tomorrow (with the Marathon), but this location looks like it will be fine with easy access - even with all the road closures.

This is the old Nashville General Hospital building location on the bluff above the river. The Metro Development and Housing Authority has authorized us to paint from this restricted property.

This is a location not available to the general public and should be an exciting opportunity for us. I am hoping they will make this available to us for Saturday morning also, but no guarantees.

From the South or West: The best way to get there is take 8th Ave., right on Chestnut St. past the Sounds Stadium, left on 2nd Ave., right on Middleton, straight ahead to the bluff.

From North or East: Take Lebanon Road from Briley Parkway all the way downtown.
It will become Hermitage Ave., then bend right and become 1st Ave.
Right at the Bend is Middleton.....turn Right on Middleton St. straight toward the river.

You will be in the middle of the Rolling Mill Hill Development. You will pass two condo buildings on your right. After the second condo building, turn right and follow this road toward the large smoke stack that was once part of Nashville General Hospital. You can set up on the bluff on this road for your painting session. It gives the best view up and down the river and also should be the most convenient place.

Hope to see you.
Happy Painting
