Bellevue is an unincorporated area of Nashville, located roughly 13 miles southwest of the downtown area via Interstate 40. It is served by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. In the 1950s, Bellevue was a small community which existed primarily to serve the needs of nearby farms. It was located mostly along the railroad tracks near the Harpeth River, and had only a few buildings such as a hardware store, post office, and a Masonic lodge hall. The suburbanization was made official when the United States Postal Service changed the designation of the office there from "Bellview, Tennessee" to a branch of the Nashville office in the late 1970s.〔 Since the year 2000, Bellevue has grown in population and development in the already established areas along Old Hickory Boulevard and Hwy 70S, as well as in the more affluent developments off Tennessee State Highway 100.〔 There are three commercial retail hotspots in the Bellevue area which are located near the Highway 70/I-40 interchange, at the intersection of Highway 70 and Old Hickory Boulevard;〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.nashville.gov/mpc/pdfs/subarea6/04Chpt1.pdf ) 〕 and near the intersection of Old Harding Pike and Highway 100. Bellevue is a popular destination for nature lovers because of several attractions such as the massive Warner Parks that feature miles of both paved and unpaved trails for hikers and cyclists, as well as the beginning access point for the multi-state recreational highway known as the Natchez Trace Parkway. Bellevue is the home of a failed regional shopping center, the Bellevue Center Mall. Purchased by Bellevue Development, LLC on December 10, 2007, mortgage financing was secured to redevelop the site into a retail lifestyle center. However, the main structure of the Bellevue Center Mall is now completely vacant except for one anchor store, Sears. Though plans to redevelop the mall were approved by local government, the old mall building still stands and there are currently no signs of future construction. However, in August 2015 demolition began on the Bellevue Center in order to lay the groundwork for the proposed mixed-use One Bellevue Place, which by completion in 2017 will hold a hotel, apartment, and retail space.〔http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/davidson%20/2015/07/30/bellevue-mall-memories-one-bellevue-place-reaction/30426525/〕Currently it is owned by Inland Western Real Estate Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/city-news/what-will-become-almost-abandoned-bellevue-center )〕 On May 2, 2010, the Bellevue area was devastated by the largest recorded flood in history on the Harpeth River. Thousands of homes and condominiums were flooded and several people drowned. The River Plantation condominiums were especially hard hit. ==Demographics== According to the census〔 of 2000, there were 37,062 people and 14,807 households in Bellevue. There were an average of 2.5 persons per household. In 1990, 76% of people aged 25 or older had a high school education or better. The median income was $40,328.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bellevue, Tennessee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
