Saying our good-byes to a Boddie Street crown I am one who doesn't deal well with good-byes, especially when watching a historic building crumbling down by the claws of an excavator.The buildings on South Boddie Street (106 and 112) have long sat empty with little maintenance. The building in the center of the two, which is much younger, was purchased by Adam Williams several years ago. Adam brought breath back into the building which housed Nashville's Parks and Recreation for a few years. The older structures were eventually condemned due the owner not complying to bring the structures back up to a safe level.
