I’ve been to Chattanooga several times over the years (a good friend of mine lives there). Very beautiful place! Especially the winding road up to the top of Lookout Mountain. Love that.

Kirk, it’s all relative… I remember thinking the aquarium was a ridiculous idea, too – how exciting can freshwater fish be?

My brother lived in Chattanooga for a few years, and while it was perfectly pleasant in a rundown-Southern-city sort of way, I would never have used words like “vibrant”, “interesting” or “luxury” to describe it. They had just built the aquarium to try and spark a revival of downtown, which I thought was absurd. I guess that’s why I’m not an urban planner…

I’m always surprised how widely-known the song is. The railway stopped running through here ages ago, but the hotel just seems to keep getting bigger.

When I hear/read Chattanooga, I keep thinking of the song. Thanks for showing that there’s more to it than the “choo-choo” (a hotel???).
