The StarWalk project was a joint venture of the Fountain Square entertainment district and the Nashville branch of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences.[2] Fountain Square was a large area developed for business, shopping, and entertainment by Aladdin Resources Inc.[1] The cement plaques formed a low wall running along a scenic lakeside pedestrian path.[1] Each plaque was framed in brass, measured 3'×6', and weighed 700 pounds.[1]
By the early 1990s, the StarWalk had been transferred to a new home at Opryland theme park.[6] After that venue closed in December 1997, the plaques were moved to locations outside the Grand Ole Opry House.[4][9] The display was eventually retired and removed without fanfare.
