There are currently 24 tower cranes 70 feet or taller jutting into the Nashville skyline; by this time next year, there could be as many as 40. But the best in the Dubai of Dixie is the bright blue behemoth in the belly of the Gulch. The brave operator (who once stayed aloft during a wicked windstorm, causing catatonia in his insurer) has to swing his loads between looming condo towers, though this crane’s primary function seems to be relocating porta-potties. Delightfully, when those porta-potties happen to be blue, it appears as if the TARDIS is landing on 11th Avenue.
