Archived Sky 5 video shows Nashville’s skyline transformation

Nashville’s skyline looks drastically different than when I came to NewsChannel 5 in 1993. A lot of those changes have happened in just the last several years, and the skyline continues to grow. Sky 5 and several viewers have been able to visually document it. I love Austin’s look back!
