Five years has brought a lot of change to Hillsboro Village.

When I moved to Nashville in 2014, I landed in an apartment in Hillsboro Village because it reminded me of my most recent home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The walkability, the cute shops and the bustling restaurants along 21st Avenue South were comforting to me.

In those days, I would get breakfast at Provence Breads, buy a good book from BookManBookWoman and meet friends at Jackson’s for a drink.

All those businesses are now closed.

On Wednesday, eclectic clothing and jewelry shop Pangaea announced it will close this month after moving to the street about 22 years ago.

All of Nashville is changing at an incredible pace, but Hillsboro Village has been hit particularly hard by the loss of more than half a dozen longtime businesses. Many of the staples that people associate with the neighborhood have been replaced by shinier new tenants.

I wrote in-depth about the neighborhood’s history and all the changes shortly after I moved to town. At the time, steadily rising rental rates and new construction were contributing to the area’s changing dynamics. You can read that story here.

To be sure, Hillsboro Village still has flair. Bob Bernstein’s Fido is a Nashville favorite and has been a mainstay for 22 years. The nearly century-old Belcourt Theatre underwent a major remodel and continues to be a great spot for a movie. Pancake Pantry still serves its fluffy flapjacks to hungry tourists and locals every morning. No-frills, smoky dive bar The Villager Tavern is a gem in a city where drink prices at newer bars are starting to come with a $16 price tag. Davis Cookware & Cutlery Shop has been selling its goods since the 1970s.

With all the tenant turnover, Hillsboro Village has emerged as a women’s shopping hub with a handful of boutiques. There are new local shops, such as Hey Rooster General Store, Apple & Oak and children’s store Arcade. Biscuit Love, Urban Juicer, Hopdoddy Burger Bar, Double Dogs, The Grilled Cheeserie and Bare Naked Bagel are among the restaurant newcomers. New buildings with apartments bookend the neighborhood's commercial strip.

The neighborhood continues to draw shoppers and diners from across the city, but it’s at risk of losing its charm if everything old is replaced with new and all the local businesses become national or regional chains.

Here are some of the longtime Hillsboro Village businesses that have closed in recent years.

Provence Breads & Cafe

Neighborhood coffee shop Provence closed its doors abruptly in February, which had a ripple effect on many area eateries that relied on the bakery for its breads and pastries. The high-profile building at 1705 21st Ave. S. was listed for sale five months later.

BookManBookWoman

Quirky independent bookstore BookManBookWoman closed at the end of 2016 after it was faced with a potential rental rate increase. The business opened as just BookMan in the neighborhood in 1995 and later moved across the street and expanded. Local business owner Courtney Webb later took over the former BookWoman building to open her Hey Rooster General Store.

Boscos Restaurant & Brewing Co.

Boscos closed in September 2014 after nearly two decades of serving Vanderbilt students and beer lovers of all ages. At the time, the owners of one of Nashville’s first brew pubs said they were having trouble increasing sales after a decline during the Great Recession.

Sunset Grill

Sunset Grill closed at the end of 2014 after a 24-year run in the neighborhood, marking the end of a dining era. It was a landmark of Hillsboro Village and an iconic see-and-be-seen destination in the 1990s and 2000s. Fresh Hospitality bought the building from owner Randy Rayburn and redeveloped it to house Biscuit Love and The Grilled Cheeserie.

Sam’s Sports Grill

Sam’s, which opened in Hillsboro Village in 2000, never reopened after a fire damaged the restaurant in 2015. At the time of the fire, the restaurant’s lease was set to expire soon. The building was sold in 2016 and then redeveloped to house a Hopdoddy Burger Bar and boutique Altar’d State.

Jackson’s Bar & Bistro

Jackson’s, a longtime favorite among college students, young professionals and nearby residents, closed in August after 18 years in the neighborhood. Owner Tom Sheffer said the restaurant had a great run, but it was time to close and move on. Jackson’s was one of the first places in Nashville to serve Saturday and Sunday brunch.
