The Ritz is dead. But something will be built on the site eventually.

^^^Yes. M2 Development has some major financial (and legal) issues. They were forced to sell their land for the Nashville Ritz and are being sued for millions in unpaid expenses.

In my day, the plateau was a paltry 300 feet, and half of that was parking! AND WE LIKED IT
