Hankster, do you have any pics of the Hamilton Place area?

As much as I love great downtowns, I do also like to see pics of a region's prominent commercial areas.

If you have any of those, please let me know if/when you can post them and I'll keep an eye out for 'em.

Thanks

Hey, thanks Hankster!

I really have to get to Chatanooga sometime soon. Our newspaper has a story about it in the travel section about twice a year, so it really appears to be a popular place.

It's not a complicated ride from where I live: Just down I-81 to its end, then I-40 for a bit, then I-75.

Three roads and I'm THERE. (Why the heck do I keep dragging my feet then?) 8-)

Thanks for the kind compliments! I think most people have a great time here when they visit, and the great thing is it's just getting better. More restaurants, more retail, more downtow residents, more fun!

Wow, man, there is nothing like civic pride! Your enthusiasm says it all. I think many folks would love to utter those same words. I know I'm envious!

When a city is on the upswing what a great feeling for its residents!

Hankster,

How is the Choo-Choo Holiday Inn holding up?

I've been wanting to come to Chattanooga for years and stay at that hotel. I'm not a huge railroad buff, but I love train stations. We have a train station/hotel where I live called the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel.

A while back I heard that the Holiday Inn was a pretty nice restoration. Have they kept the property in good condition?

Thanks.
