JMT, those were wonderful shots of Chattanooga. I've never seen pictures of that area, and it was not only surprising, but also refreshing.

I agree. Back in the 1970s some magazine (Newsweek? Time?) said Chattanooga was the country's dirtiest city. They've really worked hard to overcome that image, and I think they've done it quite successfully.

Thanks! I've always thought that Chattanooga is one of the South's (even the country's) hidden gems. It's got a cool downtown and some beautiful countryside surrounding the city. I think it's fun to be able to leave your office tower downtown and 30 minutes later be whitewater rafting in the mountains.
