Charming Chattanooga Day 1 (1/9/2023)

Bob and I have spent a great day and a half in Chattanooga, Tennessee. A city of about 182,000 just across the border from Georgia and made famous by Glenn Miller’s 1941 song, Chattanooga Choo Choo. We have found it to be a fun, artsy, growing city with a lovely 15+ mile path along the Tennessee River.

Bob and I are staying in a Residence Inn in the Riverfront District. We explored the Riverfront District yesterday after our mid-afternoon arrival. We lost an hour in our travel from Montgomery due to crossing a time zone.

Fun sculptures outside of a bar that we passed on the way to the river.
We used to have smaller climbing figures like these in our condo.
