NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A local photographer's picture is revealing just how far Nashville has come in the past decade.
You may have seen that viral photo comparing Nashville's skyline today to what it looked like nearly a decade ago.
It was Penny Adams behind the lens of that shot. We show you the two photographs in the video above.
"The one thing that's resonating in the comments is the passion for the city, they desire days gone by and wish things were different, or they're happy for the growth and along for the ride," Adams said.
But for all that's now different, Adams says she hopes Nashville holds on to what no picture can ever show, something that has always made us Nashville.
"How I look at it is, the heart of the city is the people," Adams said. "And I hope that doesn't change, the sense of goodwill with each other."

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
