A lot of Nashvillians dream of walkable neighborhoods, with access to public transit surrounded by restaurants, shops, offices and apartments. Few of us imagined that would come in the form of an old meatpacking plant. Fortunately, the McRedmond family and Jim Irwin imagined it. As the Neuhoff District opened to the public, we saw what’s possible, from daily padel (sort of a cross between racquetball and tennis) to a Mas Tacos truck and Brian Lea and Leina Horii’s newest spot, Babychan. Over the summer, when people of all ages sat on the River Steps, watching golden-hour light over the Cumberland while Devon Gilfillian and Nikki Lane played free shows, joy and relief radiated off the reclaimed bricks. It’s a different take on New Nashville.
