I had not visited the River City site before - that's a lot of great information. I'll add a hotel that I didn't see listed on there site. It's the old St. George Hotel on Market Street, across from the Choo Choo. It appears that development on it is moving forward:

In addition, it's mentioned on the River City site that the "Gold Building" on Chestnut Street is still in development to become a Westin franchise. I'm excited for the possibilities it seems to be bringing to that side of downtown, with the Shula's steakhouse already committed to build a location on Chestnut.
It's great to see so much action on the hotel front downtown. Rates in Nashville have sky-rocketed due to growth there and the lack of rooms in the downtown area. We aren't Nashville, obviously, but it's encouraging that we appear to be keeping up with demand.
