Nashville real estate - Japan is moving the Consulate to Nashville from new Orleans. The office is at 1801 West End Avenue
Hiroshi Sato, Japan's deputy consul general, has been named as the first person to head Japan's new consulate office in Nashville.
"This made Japan the first and only country to open a consulate office in the state of Tennessee," says Vice Consul Takeshi Kodo in Nashville.
Sato, who will begin the new post Oct. 10, will cover five states: Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Koto says Tennessee has 155 Japanese affiliate companies employing more than 14,000 people in the state.
On the evening of October 6, 2008 I attended a work session in which a plan for the Wades Grove swimming pool was discussed. Several Wades Grove home owners were in attendance, my husband and myself included, to support John Maher and the pool project. You probably witnessed an exodus after the topic was closed, and yes, that was Wades Grove residents there to support John Maher. 
During the discussion a comment was made that emails had been sent both for and against the swimming pool. I feel John Maher has been more then considerate in accommodating the residents wishes, however as we all know you cannot make everyone happy. He has changed his master plan and is giving up 3 lots to accommodate the wishes of a 90% majority Wades Grove residents vote in favor of having a pool as soon as possible. All this has been at his expense. The residents will only incur an additional $20.00 a month HOA fee. I fully support the swimming pool project and hope you will share my same enthusiasm. I understand there are some who do not share my same enthusiasm, but to use a colloquialism let's not "let the tail wag the dog." The residents favorable majority vote of 90% speaks volumes.
