In 2020, Nashville, Tennessee is still a stable real estate market that is bucking the national trend and, more recently, has become a seller's market. The Nashville real estate values are slowly growing at around 0-8% a year, and in certain new subdivisions and communities, the appreciation rate is much much higher. The Nashville real estate market still shows signs of steady demand. More HERE.
Nashville owes its name to General Francis Nash (1742-77), a hero of the American Revolution. The city was also of primary strategic importance during the Civil War, occupying a crucial location along the Cumberland River. The 1864 Battle of Nashville occurred here — it was the climactic, last great offensive of the Confederates.
Today Nashville real estate continues to live up to its Music City nickname. Every major record label has an office in Nashville, and the nightlife is largely characterized by the abundance of live music. Buskers populate the street corners, and bars and clubs like the famous Wild Horse Saloon have weekly televised country dances. Nash-Vegas is also a popular nickname for the city to reflect the growing cosmopolitan feel of the city. Locals have been known to refer to Nashville as Cashville as a mark of respect to one of its finest country music stars, Jonny Cash.
Johnny Cash actually bought a lake home in Hendersonville, which unfortunately burnt down. More recently, the news of the network TV series called "Nashville" was announced to be going into another season. The TV show is a "commercial" for Nashville, as many of the scenes feature iconic locations and vistas of the area.
Live music is not exclusive to Nashville. The abundance of talent in the Middle Tennessee area means you can find world-class musicians playing in any of the surrounding towns and communities. Places like Leipers Fork frequently have top-class performers playing in the intimate venue of Puckett's.
The success of Carrie Underwood on American Idol and her subsequent move to Nashville has helped raise the profile of country music and the city itself to a whole new audience previously unfamiliar with Nashville. More recently, other music shows have featured Nashville residents prominently, which all helps to create more awareness of Nashville as the music capital of the south. More HERE.
Nashville also has well-established communities and cities that are only a short 15-, 30-, or 45-minute drive away. Click here for the Nashville Drive Time Map.
East Nashville has been quietly transforming over the past 15 years from an area of urban decline to one of the most desirable areas that attract artists of all genres. The influx of creative residents has seen some amazing renovations, which in turn have opened the appeal to residents who enjoy good restaurants with a creative side! Places like Family Wash provide weekly entertainment provided by local musicians in an eclectic atmosphere in an old laundry!
Franklin TN real estate, to the south of Nashville, has the highest concentration of million-dollar luxury homes in the Greater Nashville area. The historic downtown area was well preserved and is largely responsible for the area's appeal to its residents. Just a little further south is the rapidly growing communities of Thompson Station, Spring Hill, and Columbia. Mt Juliet and Lebanon to the east are now connected via a new railroad system for commuters which has helped to increase home values over the past few years.
Hendersonville TN is to the northeast of Nashville and is known as the city of the lake due to its location on Old Hickory Lake. Jonny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Conway Twitty all made their homes here and helped to create the city of Hendersonville, Tennessee as we know it today. The development and growth of this area is continuing with the new 400-acre shopping development called Streets of Indian Lake. Sam's Club opened its doors as a major anchor store, adding a significant financial boost to the area.
The popularity of living on the lake continues today, and Gallatin has the added attraction of having the only golf course community on the lake in the whole greater Nashville, Tennessee, area.
To the northeast, the popular lakefront cities of Hendersonville and Gallatin have homes that have, until recently, been considered a little remote. However, the expansion of I65 North to 5 lanes and the extension of the Vietnam Veterans Expressway have made these communities easily accessible to Nashville.
In fact, Gallatin is home to Fairvue Plantation, the only lakefront and golf course development in the Nashville area. Homes here can reach well over the $3 million dollar mark and have been extremely popular with the discerning luxury home buyer who wants the lake access and golf course community.
A sister lakefront and golf course community is at nearby Foxlands in Hendersonville. The lakefront homes that are available are selling fast, even with a slight downturn in the real estate market. Lakefront homes have always been seen as a sound financial investment as waterfront homes are always in demand, whether it's a buyer's or seller's market!
To the east of Nashville, Mt. Juliet is also experiencing huge retail and residential new construction growth. The Providence development is proving to be a very popular location for some of the retail giants, such as Best Buy, utilizing the more than 800,000 sq ft of retail space devoted to shopping, dining, and entertainment.
The Providence project also features new residential homes built by ten leading local and national builders.
Once you move to Nashville, Tennessee, you'll realize that music is just one aspect of life in Nashville. There are lots of other things to see and do. Nashville is centrally located and has a fantastic interstate infrastructure. As a result, you can drive to Florida in 8 hours and be on the beach or go north and watch the Chicago Cubs play after driving 8 hours! If you are lucky, they may even win. ;)
There are numerous city and state parks for hiking and exploring. Dog parks are very popular and are a great way of meeting people who have moved to Nashville from all over the US and the world.
The arts have always been an important part of the social life in Nashville, and The Frist Center is the focus for many of the events and happenings in Nashville.
Eco-friendly homes in Nashville are part of the movement towards the environmentally conscious builder appealing to the 'Green" home buyer. For some excellent examples currently being built in Germantown in Nashville, click HERE.
Nashville was voted #1 in Kiplinger's Smart Cities survey. The personal finance magazine selected Nashville as number one in a past issue ranking 50 Smart Cities.
The survey took into account livability, friendliness of the residents, economic vitality, public education, local arts and entertainment as well as recreational facilities, health care, and numerous other factors.
This award was based on the growing food scene that has been building over the recent years featuring world-class restaurants such as The Catbird Seat has resulted in Nashville cuisine even being recognized in Charlotte, NC, as a threat to their city. The music scene has long been a source of attraction to visitors from all over the world, but good music and great food will keep anyone happy! Click here for the full article.
Nashville continues to gain recognition from a number of different media sources. The real estate markets in other parts of the country have been very volatile. The Orlando real estate market was something that, at one point in time, was appreciating so quickly that the state could not process the number of applications for real estate license applications. Other cities across the USA ad similar growth spikes, but Nashville has been relatively steady in its recent growth.
The climate in Nashville and Tennessee as a whole is also a major attraction. The four seasons provide their own benefits, but none of the seasons has any extremes in weather, although the summer months can get a little hot and humid in August and September. In 2007 Nashville, like the rest of the country, experienced a heatwave with highs over 100 degrees, but on average, the summer highs are in the mid-'90s
Nashville is home to the full range of property types: from single-family starter homes to million-dollar luxury homes, lake homes, estate homes, condos, and equestrian properties.
As Nashville becomes an increasingly popular city to move to, the number of new construction real estate sites and developments has expanded to keep up with the ever-rising demand.
In a return to urban living, downtown Nashville has seen the renovation of older historic buildings and warehouses to accommodate the demand for urban lofts such as Werthan Mills and Rolling Mill Hills lofts. Rolling Mill Hills is now purely rented units.
New condo developments and the projects in the Gulch, such as Twelve Twelve, are revitalizing the downtown residential community and bringing a new appeal to living in the city of Nashville.
Downtown Nashville itself has the development at Encore Sobro, located just off Broadway and very close to the Symphony Hall. Other older developments like the Viridian (sometimes spelled Veridian) are proving to be very popular as resales start to come on the market. New construction is still in high demand, especially with prices starting at just under $250,000 and cheaper in some cases.
Compared to other downtown communities around the United States, downtown Nashville still has very affordable products and is well below the density of cities like Chicago and New York. This leads the developers to anticipate tremendous growth and movement towards inner-city living. As the numbers grow, the demand for services and restaurants, etc, will grow, which will increase the demand for downtown condo living.
Some of the communities in and around Nashville are developing the new concept of combining business and residential homes in the same subdivision. Westhaven in Franklin and Tollgate Village in Thompson Station are excellent examples. The concept of being able to live and work as well as socialize and play in the same community is really a throwback to the communities of the past where everyone knew everyone and the feeling of safety and security was enhanced by the sense of belonging and community spirit missing from some of the faceless developments from the sixties and seventies across America.
If you are looking for upscale, gated luxury homes, then Nashville has homes that constantly take advantage of the latest designs and technology to provide an environment that can truly be called luxurious. The Ashton Real Estate Group of RE/MAX Advantage is also a proud member of the Luxury Real Estate.com organization. More HERE.
Looking for equestrian homes with rolling hills and acreage for your horses to roam freely? Leipers Fork, just south of Franklin, maybe your perfect choice. You'll be in good company as this has become home to some of the wealthiest people in Nashville and has attracted some of the Hollywood "royalty," too! Beechwood Plantation was an equestrian community with homes in the $2M range and lots from around $450. The developers did go into foreclosure, so the development is taking longer to sell out, but it's still a very good consideration.
Gallatin is the latest city to try and create its own equestrian community, The Paddock (as it was to be called), was selling lots and is in the early development stage but was to provide stable and riding facilities for the homeowners. Homes were projected to be in the low $400,000 to $600,000 range. The economic slowdown of 2009 saw the development put on hold but signs are it will start again soon. As of 2023, the subdivision still hasn't been resurrected, but sooner or later, work will begin again. Lots were auctioned off in May 2012, hopefully allowing homes to be built soon.
There is a return to the older self-contained communities that are so popular throughout America and mirror the extremely successful city of Celebration in Orlando, Florida. Here the architectural styles of the past and matched with modern and state-of-the-art features that provide a perfect blend of the old and new.
The concept of community living in safety and having well-established groups within the community means that it's very easy to develop new friends and networks if you are a new arrival to Nashville, Tennessee.
Commercial Real Estate in Nashville is in part responsible for the growth in popularity of Nashville in the past 3 years. Once the major corporations became aware of the standard of living enjoyed by the residents of Nashville, and relatively low real estate values, the appeal was transformed into corporate relocations like Nissan, LP, Mars, etc. The positive business environment has had the trickle-down effect of producing more jobs, leading to increased demand for new housing and subdivision developments.
The new residents were attracted to move to Nashville because of the expanding job market and then spent their money as consumers within the Nashville market. This, in turn, breeds competition, which helps stimulate the demand for more commercial real estate.
Nashville, Tennessee real estate is still proving to be very attractive to out-of-state buyers. With the relocation of Nissan HQ to the Nashville area in 2007, the real estate market was given another boost and raised national awareness of this comparatively undervalued real estate market. It has also just been announced that Nashville is one of the safest real estate markets. The ranking, released by PMI Mortgage Insurance Co., says Nashville is the fourth-least risky of the nation's 50 largest housing markets. Memphis is the second least risky market, followed by Pittsburgh.
The city of Nashville is populated by about 703,953 residents, and the entire 10-county Nashville Economic Market is about 1,989,519 people strong.
Nashville is lucky to have three major teams in the world of professional sports. The Nashville Predators Hockey team has been the envy of other teams, having reached the playoffs for the last 15 seasons and making the Stanley Cup Final once!
The Tennessee Titans are now recognized as one of the better teams in the NFL, and their potential continues to grow with every season.
Update: The Nashville Predators Ice Hockey team is fast becoming one of the most popular ice hockey teams in the country!

Industry has made more than 9.1 billion tons of plastic since 1950 and there's enough left over to bury Manhattan under more than two miles of trash, according to a new cradle-to-grave global study.
Plastics don't break down like other man-made materials, so three-quarters of the stuff ends up as waste in landfills, littered on land and floating in oceans, lakes and rivers, according to the research reported in Wednesday's journal Science Advances .
"At the current rate, we are really heading toward a plastic planet," said study lead author Roland Geyer, an industrial ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. "It is something we need to pay attention to."
The plastics boom started after World War II, and now plastics are everywhere. They are used in packaging like plastic bottles and consumer goods like cellphones and refrigerators. They are in pipes and other construction material. They are in cars and clothing, usually as polyester.
Study co-author Jenna Jambeck of the University of Georgia said the world first needs to know how much plastic waste there is worldwide before it can tackle the problem.
They calculated that of the 9.1 billion tons made, nearly 7 billion tons are no longer used. Only 9 percent got recycled and another 12 percent was incinerated, leaving 5.5 billion tons of plastic waste on land and in water.
Using the plastics industry own data, Geyer, Jambeck and Kara Lavender Law found that the amount of plastics made and thrown out is accelerating. In 2015, the world created 448 million tons of plastic — more than twice as much as made in 1998.
China makes the most plastic, followed by Europe and North America.
"The growth is astonishing and it doesn't look like it's slowing down soon," Geyer said.
About 35 percent of the plastic made is for packaging, like water bottles. Geyer said his figures are higher than other calculations because he includes plastics material woven into fibers like polyester clothing, including microfiber material.
An official of a U.S. trade group said the plastics industry recognizes the problem and is working to increase recycling and reduce waste.
"Plastics are used because they are efficient, they are cost effective and they do their jobs," said Steve Russell, vice president of plastics for the American Chemistry Council , an industry association that represents manufacturers. "And if we didn't have them, the impact on the environment would be worse."
Using alternatives to plastics for packaging and consumer goods such as glass, paper or aluminium requires more energy, Russell said.
The world still makes more concrete and steel than plastic, but the big difference is that they stay longer in buildings and cars and degrade better than plastic, Geyer said. Except for what is burned, "all the plastics that we made since 1950 are still with us," he said.
"The fact that it becomes waste so quickly and that it's persistent is why it's piling up in the environment," said Chelsea Rochman, a professor of ecology at the University of Toronto. She wasn't part of the study but like other outside experts praised it for thoroughness and accuracy.
"At some point we will run out of room to put it," she said in an email. "Some may argue we already have and now it's found in every nook and cranny of our oceans."
Plastic waste in water has been shown to harm more than 600 species of marine life, said Nancy Wallace, marine debris program director for the U.S. National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Whales, sea turtles, dolphins, fish and sea birds are hurt or killed, she said.
"It's a huge amount of material that we're not doing anything about," Wallace said. "We're finding plastics everywhere."

Having appeared onstage and on Portuguese television from the age of three, Artur then concentrated on his studies, relocating to Lawrence, Kansas, in the USA, where Costa is Distinguished Professor of Piano at the University of Kansas. Artur began performing publicly again at the age of thirteen with a recital debut at the São Luíz Theatre in Lisbon and with a concerto performance with the Orquestra Gulbenkian later in the same year. While still under the tutelage of Costa, Artur Pizarro won first prizes in the 1987 Vianna da Motta Competition, the 1988 Greater Palm Beach Symphony Competition and the 1990 Harveys Leeds International Pianoforte Competition.
Since then, Artur Pizarro has regularly performed worldwide in recital, chamber music and with some of the world's leading orchestras and great conductors such as Sir Charles Mackerras, Charles Dutoit, Sir Simon Rattle, Jean Fournier, Philippe Entremont, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Sir Andrew Davis, Yuri Termikanov and Vladimir Fedoseev, among others. Artur is also active in chamber music through his trio, the Pizarro Trio, with violinist Raphael Oleg and cellist Josephine Knight. Due to his childhood experience listening to his grandmother's two-piano rehearsals, Artur formed a piano duo with Lithuanian pianist, Vita Panomariovaite. Their debut recital in Glasgow was broadcast by the BBC.
Recent projects have included a series of the works for piano by Debussy and Ravel in London, broadcast on BBC Radio 3. This series was also performed in Lisbon in Portugal and in Aarhus in Denmark. Artur has also performed the complete piano sonatas of Beethoven to great acclaim in the USA, Portugal and the UK, where the BBC also broadcast all eight recitals. Artur was nominated for a Royal Philharmonic Society award for this series. He has also performed cycles of the complete piano works of Chopin and Rachmaninov.

Why you can trust TechRadar
You won't need Prosoft Drive Genius 3 in the normal course of events. Minor file system mishaps will be catered for by Apple's automatic clean-up scripts.
After that, Apple's standard Disk Utility will have a decent stab at file system repairs and will effect a repair in the majority of cases, but it can't cope with severe file system or partition problems.
At this point you may wish that you already owned a copy of Drive Genius 3, which offers all the drive repair tools you could hope for. If you've already got a copy of Drive Genius 2 then you may wish to skip the rest of this review; version three offers some nice new features but most existing users will find none of them a must-have.
Drive troubles slain
This latest version has an impressive array of features, including those you would expect (and may already have in an older product) such as: file system repair, hard drive information reports, defrag, data shredding, rapid benchmarking and Drive Slim, which looks to free up wasted space.
A new feature is an improved drive integrity check that can scan for bad blocks. Hard drive trouble comes in two flavours: file system issues and hardware failures. An experienced ear can tell the difference simply by listening to the drive trying to read data.
A hardware failure isn't necessarily game over though, as all drives have 'spare sectors' that their firmware uses to 'reallocate' a failing sector and prolong the life of the drive. In English, this means that tiny bits of worn-out hard drive are ignored and new spare space is used instead.
New to version 3, Drive Genius will scan your drive (and surprisingly quickly – see the screenshot below, right) for worn-out sectors and trigger the remapping feature, which can resurrect a failing drive – at least long enough for you to get your data off of it (and if anything, experience has taught us that failing drives should be retired sooner rather than later).
Also new is Drive Pulse – a menubar item that visibly reports your drive's health (note this only applies to internal drives since external drives can't report their health over USB or FireWire), an enhanced defragmentation algorithm, native 64-bit installation (10.6 or later only), and email notification of task completion.
Also new and more impressive is the ability to resize, hide, duplicate, delete and add partitions, including the boot volume (if you start from the supplied DVD), and RAID support in the form of both Apple's hardware and software array solutions, making this a wise purchase for a Mac Pro owner with lots of internal drives.
That said, the latter features will be of most use to an IT professional and there is a Pro licenced version available for $250 (about £164), which is aimed at IT service shops. The whizzy animated interface is inventive, but won't be to everyone's taste, hence it can be stilled via a preference tickbox.
Recovery lacking Conspicuously absent from Drive Genius is any sort of data recovery feature. For this you'll need to purchase Prosoft's sister product, Data Rescue 3 (which, incidentally, is most excellent).

You might want to consider watching or buying the movie "Vaxed"
by James C. Meehan, Jr., MD
Posted on Facebook
To all the pediatricians still trolling my page, now that I've got your attention, listen closely. Heed my words.
You should be FIGHTING LIKE HELL for the safety of our children from even the most remote possibility that vaccines aren't as safe as they could be or aren't as safe as we are being told.
Instead of fighting for truth and safety, you're fighting like rats for your piece of cheese.
I have ZERO RESPECT for vaccine profiteers that are so financially biased, confirmation biased, indoctrinated, and willfully ignorant of the evidence that clearly shows vaccines cause injury, disease and REGRESSIVE AUTISM, that they aggressively lobby lawmakers to make vaccines mandatory, and deny parents the essential knowledge about the risks of toxic ingredients injected into their babies.
Bought by big pharma, the caretakers of children's health have become the perpetrators of harm rather than the protectors. They profit as our precious, perfect children are harmed and killed by vaccines filled with cheap preservatives, neurotoxic adjuvants, and human cellular material derived from aborted fetal cell lines.
They are complicit accomplices in the murder-by-vaccine crimes that have made American infants THE MOST VACCINATED and THE MOST LIKELY TO DIE in the first year of life.
America's infant mortality rate, the highest rate in ALL developed nations, is a national tragedy. The epidemic of autism, autoimmune diseases, asthma, allergies, ADHD, and pediatric cancers is far worse.
The evidence is everywhere.
Unbelievably, the epidemic of autism is rising exponentially. Today, ONE in 48 children in America suffer autism. At the present rate of increase, by 2032 ONE in TWO children AND 80% OF BOYS could be autistic.
We can't afford to sacrifice our children and the future of our nation to the ignorance and greed of pediatricians and their big pharmaceutical vaccine manufacturer masters demanding parents submit our children to an intolerably dangerous, untested, and unnecessary vaccine schedule of 72+ injections…and rising. There are over 200 vaccines in the pipeline.
Every pediatrician, family practitioner, or vaccine profiteer that isn't rising up against the corruption of the science of vaccines perpetrated by the CDC is betraying their oath to "first, do no harm." They are on the wrong side of history.
Too many have given up objectivity and reason and have simply become sales representatives for the vaccine manufacturers that have so easily bought and conditioned them to believe their lies.
The blood of every vaccine injured or killed child is on the hands of every pediatrician that parroted lies like "vaccines do not cause autism" and "the science is settled."
The science isn't settled, it's corrupt.
The vaccine industry will soon face the backlash as doctors, scientists, and parents across America become aware of your crimes, rise up to oppose your lies, and hold you accountable for the vaccine injury holocaust you've caused.
The fraudulent deceit is coming to and end. We won't allow it to continue.
For me, uncovering the many layers of fraud and corruption that have allowed vaccines to harm so many children, is analogous to walking into an exam room in which a child is being abused by a doctor. I'm not about to look the other way and allow the abuse to continue.
I would call the police, however, in my analogy the police are the CDC, and they are participating and enabling the abuse. Regardless, I won't ignore the abuse and allow it to continue. I'm going to stop the abusers from harming the child, and I won't be gentle about it.
That's how I see the travesty of the corruption of vaccines that is harming the children of America today. It's obvious and I'm angry about my how so many of medical colleagues refuse to open the door, expose the abuse, and stop it.
In closing, I beseech my colleagues to open your eyes, minds, and the evidence that for too long you've negligently denied.
Confront the reality that you've been duped, controlled, and indoctrinated.
Free yourselves from the indoctrination. Stand with me.
Demand scientific transparency, integrity, and reform of the vaccine industry.
Join me in this fight to protect children and get yourselves on the right side of history.
Together we must STOP the abuse….. Read More

Today, the United States is taking further action to increase pressure on Iran for its failure to meet its international obligations with regard to its nuclear program. A key element of our strategy focuses on Iran's oil and gas production capacity, which -- as UN Security Council Resolution 1929 recognized -- Iran uses to fund its proliferation activities as well as to mask procurement for the importation of dual-use items. As part of that strategy, the State Department is sanctioning Belarusneft, a state-owned Belarusian energy company, under the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) of 1996 as amended by the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (CISADA) of 2010, for its involvement in the Iranian petroleum sector.
In a thorough review, the Department confirmed that Belarusneft entered into a $500 million contract with the NaftIran Intertrade Company in 2007 for the development of the Jofeir oilfield in Iran. The ISA requires that sanctions be imposed on companies that make certain investments over $20 million.
This action on Belarusneft is another application of U.S. sanctions on Iran. In September, 2010, the State Department announced sanctions on the NaftIran Intertrade Company and the Department has applied the "Special Rule" in CISADA to persuade five major multinational energy companies to pledge to end their investments in Iran and provide assurances not to undertake new energy-related activity in Iran that may be sanctionable. The companies are: Total of France, Statoil of Norway, ENI of Italy, Royal Dutch Shell of the Netherlands, and INPEX of Japan.
Since President Barack Obama signed CISADA into law on July 1, 2010, Iran's ability to attract new investment to develop its oil and natural gas resources, and to produce or import refined petroleum products, has been severely limited. The State Department's direct engagement with companies and governments to enforce CISADA is raising the pressure on the Government of Iran. In the past year, many foreign companies have abandoned their energy-related projects in Iran or have stopped shipping refined petroleum to Iran. This is an appropriate response to Iran's longstanding use of its oil and gas sector to facilitate its proliferation activities and thereby its noncompliance with its nuclear obligations.

Lee's list of 7 quick and essential tips for doing business overseas.
1. It is always easier to sell in your town, state, or country than to export or sell internationally. Understand that it will always be that way.
2. Don't do it alone. Always get local "guide(s)" to work with you. This can take the form of a consultant, agent, distributor or sales force.
3. You will always feel that the customer in the international market got the better deal.
4. No matter how well you think you understand the country and culture….there is always something important that you missed.
5. Be humble…..be humble……be humble
6. Listen before you start to sell. My first 3 trips to China consisted of meeting and listening to potential customers before opening up the discussion to sales.
7. Make a concerted effort to build and nurture personal networks and relationships. Learn about the country, culture and politics.

Back to the Beginning
Since we skipped ahead for Father's Day, we need to return to the beginning to fill in the first part of the story. The history of this land that would become Belle Grove started hundreds of thousands of years before the arrival of English settlers. This land was inhabited by primitive people known by the artifacts found in the surrounding area. On the plantation next door to Belle Grove, primitive tools, shear heads and pottery have been discovered. One of these items has been examined and is considered to be over 10,000 years old.
In 1608, Captain John Smith, explorer and soldier, sailed up the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers searching for areas to expand the new colonies. In his log, Captain Smith spoke of weather, the waterways and land around him.
"The temperature of this countrie doth agree well with English constitutions."
"There is but one entrance by sea onto this country and that is the mouth of a very goodly Bay, the wideness of which is near 18 or 20 miles."
"Within is a Country that may have the prerogative over the most pleasant places of Europe, Asia, Africa or America for larger and pleasant navigable rivers' Heaven and Earth never agreed better to frame a place for man's being of our Constitutions were it inhabited by industrious people."
Captain Smith also noted the many Indian Settlements along the river banks. These Indians were part of the Powhatan Nation. This was a confederation of Indian tribes within Virginia. At the time of the settlement of Jamestown in 1607, it is believed that there were about 14,000 to 21,000 people in this nation. Wahunsunacawh, also known as Chief Powhatan, father of Pocahontas had brought together this nation of 30 tribes within the eastern side of Virginia in an area call Tsenacommacah ("densely-inhabited Land"). Each tribe had its own chief, but all tribes paid tribute to Chief Powatan.
It is believed that the Nanzemond Indians were the tribe that inhabited the land, but I have not been able to confirm this. Since we have never had any archaeological digs at Belle Grove, I can only go with what has been passed down through local lore. The closest tribes I do know that were in the area were the Potabago Indians of Essex County, Rappahannock Indians of Tappahannock and the Nanzatico Indians of King George. In my research, it looks more likely that it would have be one of these tribes that inhabited the land. The Nanzemond Indians seem to have been primarily located in and around the present day cities of Chesapeake and Suffolk, Virginia. Maybe the name Nanzemond got confused with the name Nanzatico as it was passed down from generation to generation.
The next mention of this land came when a royal land grant was given by Governor Sir William Berkeley to Thomas Chetwood and John Prossor. Under the Royal Charter of 1649 on September 28, 1667, 5275 acres of land, known as "Nauzem" was granted to Chetwood and Prossor in consideration for transporting 163 persons from England. Of these 5275 acres, it is said that the land that would become Belle Grove was the heart.
On April 13, 1670, John Prossor sold a 1,000 acre tract to Anthony Savage. I have found two names for this tract, one being "Mangecemuzen" and the other being "Mongoheocala". Anthony Savage was thought to be the son of John Savage of Castleton, Debyshire, England. His birth date is unknown. The earliest record of him places him in Gloucester County, Virginia in 1660, when he was commissioned as a Justice or Sherriff. Anthony Savage (died 1695) was married to Alice Stafford Savage (died 1701). The Savages had two surviving children, daughters Dorothy (1635-1702) and Alice (1653-1692). By the time, Anthony had purchased this tract, his daughter; Dorothy was already married to William Strother I and was living next door on a 500 acre plantation that they had purchased just six months before. His other daughter, Alice would marry Francis Thornton (1651-1726/27). Dorothy and William had six surviving children. Alice and Francis had seven surviving children. Two of these children, Margaret Thornton and William Strother II would marry.
One small note, I have been told that Lawrence Washington, grandfather of George Washington, grew up at Mattox Creek, just 9 or 10 miles from Belle Grove and he was childhood friends with William Strother II and Margaret Thornton.
At the death of Anthony Savage, the 1,000 acre tract was divided into 700 acres for the Thornton family and 300 acres to be given to Margaret Thornton Strother and William Strother II. By this time, Alice Savage Thornton had passed and Francis Thornton had remarried. Francis Thornton, an attorney and land owner, was a very prominent attorney. In my research of archived items, I came across a large number of items with his signature. He also increased his land holding into Stafford County. At his death, most of his Stafford County land holdings went to his sons, but the 700 acre tract went to his eldest child, Elizabeth Thornton Gibson Conway (1673/74-1732). I believe she was already living on the tract prior to his death. She first married Jonathan Gibson (1672-1729) and had two surviving children. At Jonathan's death, she married Edwin Conway (1653-1698). With Edwin, she had one more child, Francis Conway I (1696-1736).

All photography was originally monochrome, most of these photographs were black-and-white. Most forms of visual technology start out in black and white, then slowly evolve into color as technology progresses. Even after color film was readily available, black-and-white photography continued to dominate for decades, due to its lower cost and its "classic" photographic look.
There are many ways to attack photography and some are much more expensive than others. Here in this showcase, we presenting a Stunning collection of Black and White Photography and Pictures taken by various artists in which all pictures are linked to the author's pages. You may want to explore further works of the photographers we've featured below.
For those who don't know what is "Black and White" in terms of Photography then, In early time photography was black-and-white or shades of sepia. Color photography was originally rare and expensive, and again often less than true to life. Color photography became more common in the middle of the 20th century, and has become even more common since. Black-and-white remains a niche market for photographers who use the medium for artistic purposes. This can take the form of black and white film or digital conversion to grayscale, with optional image manipulation to enhance the results. For amateur use, certain companies such as Kodak manufacture black-and-white disposable cameras. Also, certain films are produced today which give black and white images using the ubiquitous C41 color process.

We can promise you that when you start browsing them farther in details it will surely refresh your memory.
While compiling this list, it's always a possibility that we missed some other great photography work. Feel free to share it with us.
Great collection, a bit too long to browse through for the person who skims, seeing as it's 100 photos. I still can't help thinking that some of these (i.e. the one with the snails) would do just as well, if not better, in color. It's only where there is severe contrast between bright and dark (i.e. the tulips and flowers) that black-and-white photography makes sense.
custom B&W prints are still simply stunning. Some great shots here; some others here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MarkoPhotos
Awesome pics. I love the collection especially those snails are looking really nice:)
Great collection! The one with the baby splashing in the pool made me laugh! :D
Great selection – if only I could take photos like these!
Great photos, I love B&W photos – check out any photos by Ansell Adams one of the best B&W photographers..
Yep, "Black & White" was King…. photographers and movie makers used "shadows & lighting" to get the picture they envisioned… total creativity on their part !! Now, it's "color and computers" for just about everything and a virtual unending supply of "creativity"… on the part of the people and their computers with the help of "c.g. specialists" to gain the "look & feel" they want !! Welcome the 21st century "thinkers" !! :)
These "black & white" photographs are still fantastic… even by today's standards !! Thank you for sharing !!
Wow , Great collection! , the second photo is very nice !
Extremadamente artistico…………….
Nice Collection.Thanx
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/06/09/beautiful-black-and-white-photography/ sort of same post in '08 :s
They are nice enough shots, but the main thing about them is that they are all very contrasty with a lot of black and lost details in the shadows. It's a particular style. I'd like to see more variety in approach.
Very nice pics, but where are the credits ?!
This article has been shared on favSHARE.net. Go and vote it!
pretty pictures
the images are just stunning..loved every capture.. the subject that we choose in b&w is vry important..the contrast & lights are the essentials for a good black & white photography..the subjects that i select for black & white is high in contrast jus like the 1st image..i make sure abt the lights in my black & white pictures as more or less light both will ruin a classy image..i like black & white images as these images speak up the emotions that a photographers wants to convey..thank you for sharing it..
Always loved B&W photos – there's just a little something that you get with a B&W that you can't capture with a colour photo. Great pictures, real "art" – not like a lot of this "contemporary" stuff!
Brilliant work. Black and White pictures are always so so fun, classic, creative and original.
Very nice pic, Some great shots here; http://dapixara.com/Blogs/photo_blog.php
This is a great style. I loved seeing it all in one collection… makes me want to learn photography!
mesmerizing photos…i can only wish to take photos like this
great photos…keep up the good work
Some of these are truly beautiful, I particularly like those from Nick Brandt.
Why no credits to the photographers who created these fantastic pictures?
I always prefer B & W photography to any other and i always thought B&W tells deeper stories:)
Excelente trabajo, tanto de los fotografos como de la produccion y seleccion.
Remarkable examples, thanks for a selection!
Great photos, but I agree with Dmytro. I think that there are a lot of pictures here that would have looked better in color, like the woman with the painted face. It's kind of hard to appreciate the art on her face if you can't see the actual colors.
Beautiful collection, I love the diversity in the shots. The lions and the hanging kitten are my faves. thanks for sharing!
luv alL the pic so much……………….
Simply amazing!
Thank you for sharing these are beautiful.

"We were eight years in power" was the lament of Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return of white supremacist rule in the South. In this sweeping collection of new and selected essays, Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the tragic echoes of that history in our own time: the unprecedented election of a black president followed by a vicious backlash that fueled the election of the man Coates argues is America's "first white president."
But the story of these present-day eight years is not just about presidential politics. This book also examines the new voices, ideas, and movements for justice that emerged over this period—and the effects of the persistent, haunting shadow of our nation's old and unreconciled history. Coates powerfully examines the events of the Obama era from his intimate and revealing perspective—the point of view of a young writer who begins the journey in an unemployment office in Harlem and ends it in the Oval Office, interviewing a president.
We Were Eight Years in Power features Coates's iconic essays first published in The Atlantic, including "Fear of a Black President," "The Case for Reparations," and "The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration," along with eight fresh essays that revisit each year of the Obama administration through Coates's own experiences, observations, and intellectual development, capped by a bracingly original assessment of the election that fully illuminated the tragedy of the Obama era. We Were Eight Years in Power is a vital account of modern America, from one of the definitive voices of this historic moment.
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a national correspondent for The Atlantic. His book Between the World and Me won the National Book Award in 2015. Coates is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. He lives in New York City with his wife and son.
"A master class . . . Anyone who wants to know who we are—and where we are now—must sit with [Ta-Nehisi Coates] for a good while. . . . It should inspire us as writers, and as Americans, that he urges us . . . to become better—or at least clearer on why we're not."—Kevin Young, The New York Times Book Review"Ta-Nehisi Coates has published a collection of the major magazine essays he wrote throughout the Obama years. . . . But Coates adds an unexpected element that renders We Were Eight Years in Power both new and revealing. Interspersed among the essays are introductory personal reflections. . . . Together, these introspections are the inside story of a writer at work, with all the fears, insecurities, influences, insights and blind spots that the craft demands. . . . I would have continued reading Coates during a Hillary Clinton administration, hoping in particular that he'd finally write the great Civil War history already scattered throughout his work. Yet reading him now feels more urgent, with the bar set higher."—Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post
"Coates . . . eloquently unfurls blunt truths. . . . Such a voice, in such a moment, is a ray of light."—USA Today
"There is a fresh clarity to [Coates's] voice—urgent, outraged, electric—that's never felt more necessary."—Entertainment Weekly
"Indispensable . . . bracing . . . compelling . . . A new book from Coates is not merely a literary event. It's a launch from Cape Canaveral."—Jennifer Senior, The New York Times
"Essential . . . Coates's probing essays about race, politics, and history became necessary ballast for this nation's gravity-defying moment." —The Boston Globe
"Biting cultural and political analysis from the award-winning journalist . . . [Ta-Nehisi Coates] reflects on race, Barack Obama's presidency and its jarring aftermath, and his own evolution as a writer in eight stunningly incisive essays. . . . He contextualizes each piece with candid personal revelations, making the volume a melding of memoir and critique. . . . Emotionally charged, deftly crafted, and urgently relevant."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Coates's collection of his essays from the past decade examine the recurrence of certain themes in the black community, the need for uplift and self-reliance, the debate between liberals and conservatives about the right approach to racism, and the virulent reaction in some quarters to any signs of racial progress. . . . Coates's always sharp commentary is particularly insightful as each day brings a new upset to the cultural and political landscape laid during the term of the nation's first black president. . . . Coates is a crucial voice in the public discussion of race and equality, and readers will be eager for his take on where we stand now and why." —Booklist (starred review)
"Though the essays are about a particular period, Coates's themes reflect broader social and political phenomena. It's this timeless timeliness—reminiscent of the work of George Orwell and James Baldwin—that makes Coates worth reading again and again."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Expand reviews

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish. President Obama is in Riyadh today, emphasizing the strong relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. He also spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the crisis in Ukraine. And the chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has resigned following the bridge scandal there.
It's Friday and time for the week in politics. In a moment we'll hear from our regulator commentators about all of these topics. And let's start with NPR's Scott Horsley, who is covering the president's meetings today with the Saudi King Abdullah.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: For decades, the United States has been Saudi Arabia's chief protector, keeping shipping lanes open for the export of Saudi oil and keeping a watchful eye on the energy-rich kingdom itself.
SIMON HENDERSON: The Saudis see the United States as the ultimate security blanket.
HORSLEY: Simon Henderson of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy says when Saddam Hussein invaded neighboring Kuwait almost a quarter century ago, it took only about a day for the first American F-15s to swoop onto Saudi soil.
HENDERSON: That sort of response is what Saudi Arabia would like to have from the United States today, but frankly it doesn't think it's going to get it.
HORSLEY: Indeed, having finally ended the long war in Iraq, President Obama is eager to avoid any new military involvement in the Middle East. Last year he opted not to launch a military strike on Syria despite that country's use of chemical weapons. Saudi leaders are also watching with alarm as the U.S. opens negotiations with their arch nemesis, Iran, over that countries nuclear program.
Tamara Cofman Wittes, who directs the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, says mutual opposition to Iran has long been a source of common ground between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, so any sign of a thaw is worrisome for the Saudis.
TAMARA COFMAN WITTES: Saudi Arabia and the United States agree that Iranian behavior in the region is destabilizing and is of great concern, but they might not agree on exactly what the priority is to address about Iranian behavior.
HORSLEY: Wittes says while the U.S. is focused on Iran's nuclear program, the Saudis are mostly concerned about Iranian interference in Syria and elsewhere around the region. Deputy White House National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes tried to bridge that gap in a briefing today for reporters aboard Air Force One.
BEN RHODES: We'll be making clear that even as we are pursuing the nuclear agreement with the Iranians, our concern about other Iranian behavior in the region, those concerns remain constant.
HORSLEY: Whatever the president's concerns, Henderson says many Americans have grown wary of playing any big role in the Middle East. That isolationism is fueled in part by the sense that, thanks to a boom in domestic oil production, we're no longer so dependent on imports from Saudi Arabia.
HENDERSON: The popular view is emerging that why should we care about what's going on in the Middle East, we don't need them any longer.
HORSLEY: Henderson suggests that view is short-sighted and Wittes agrees, saying Saudi supplies still have a powerful influence on worldwide energy prices and hence the global economy.
WITTES: Even though the United States, for example, may not import much energy from the Gulf, it still cares about the global price and Saudi Arabia is still the globe's swing producer of oil.
HORSLEY: Wittes days despite their current frictions, the two countries have always found a way to work together in the past and she's confident they will again. Scott Horsley, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
