Chattanooga Choo Choo

Frank and Roz lived in Sedalia until about 5 or 6 years ago when they moved to Chattanooga.  We had a delightful breakfast at their house and then they gave us the grand tour of their new home city.  We took an hour hike at The Enterprise Park where over 50 ammunition bunkers are buried in the grounds but it is now a delightful walking and biking park.  We then went downtown to the Farmer’s Market, got some fresh fruit and vegetables and then had lunch.  

P1000559

Across the street from the restaurant was the Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel.  It was a train station that now houses a hotel, restaurant and convention center. Many of the hotel rooms are inside converted sleep cars lined up on the tracks outside the station. A maid let us look inside one of the train cars and it would be lots of fun to stay there.

Frank was a very good city tour guide.  We saw the baseball stadium, the Aquarium, Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge and many more buildings.
