I met someone at Waffle House in Mississippi who told me to go to Ruby Falls when I got to TN. Glad I did. At the top of the tram and down a street there is the civil war park. The park service has a little movie to watch and it’s very well done. The signs throughout the park are very worthwhile to read. People today have no idea how tough and physically strong people were in those days. The soldiers had to fight on a vertical wall and then keep fighting to scale it. There is a heavy presence of the fallen men there. The story is demonic and tragic. The North won, but the cost in lives was heavy. May we never have another civil war in this nation.
Good point about how physically strong people were then...Yea actually the South one one battle but then the north one the battle 2 months later, yea I agree we don't want a civil war.
@@TampaAerialMedia what they did there to conquer that mountain was by today’s standards without current day machines, was impossible. The number of deserters was in the thousands.
The park ranger there will give a tour several times a day, where he/she will relate facts about the battle and most interestingly get people to volunteer to become canon operators. Loading, tamping, firing, cooling, etc, etc. It was a complex and highly dangerous occupation (like most things during the civil war, I guess) but it gives a little insight into the lives of the men who fought and died there.
I moved to Chattanooga three years ago, and I still feel amazed to live in such a wonderful place. This is a city I would be HAPPY to vacation in, and yet I live here. This video really captures it, and I’m sending it out to my friends now before they visit so they can decide what they want to see. There’s so much.
@@brennanbourne id imagine it’s all relative. Crime going up everywhere. Compared to Houston it looks extremely safe. New Orleans is dangerous but didn’t feel unsafe at night.
I've lived in Chattanooga all my life and still have lots to explore and experience! It's a great place to live, and this is a great video to showcase it!
Friend, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I'm always very happy for the enormous quality of your work, it's amazing!!! congratulations and thank you.
Chattanooga got voted the best place to live several years ago. There’s a ton to do. However I don’t recommend staying at that days inn. It’s a dump. There are many nicer hotels in the area than that.
I've watched a lot of videos about Chattanooga and i have to say that this is one of the most well done i have seen. We recently moved to the area from Northeast Georgia and are so happy to call this place home!
Beautiful area ! I wrote about Chattanooga in my master thesis because one of Polish officers - Wladimir Krzyzanowski fought in the III Battle of Chattanooga. Greatings from Poland
Me, too. :-) Best wishes from Germany from a city in Germany that so remarkably looks like the Chattanooga area, that is the Rhine valley instead of the Tennessee River. If it were not for the buildings, you'd think you are in Bonn, actually.
WOW….great video…born there in ‘54. Lived there till ‘73 College days. Get back once a year or so. It is truly the “Scenic City.” Absolutely a beautiful place. When you grow up somewhere, you don’t notice it. Years later, when you go back, you sure do. Drive Missionary Ridge. It’s my old neighborhood. Amazing. So..improved since ‘73. The “Natural Beauty” was always there. With RiverWalk and the RiverBend Music festival. ….thanks for making me homesick….
I always loved when I was traveling back home to Florida before I just moved home, Going through Chattanooga and a lot of other towns on my travel. So much to take in.
I stayed at the Edwin Hotel. The Walnut St bridge is practically right outside the entrance. I got some really cool night photography on the waterfront during my stay.
This might be the best video I have ever seen about Chattanooga. I am glad you mentioned the Lake Nickajack rest area. It's easily my favorite rest area I have been to. Nice views, and a great place to relax. You did make one small error. The animal known as Tom Brady isn't a horned animal at all, but rather a spotted cat who is famous for running quickly. :P All jokes aside, awesome video about my favorite southern city. :)
Awesome video. I think this may be your best yet! Thanks so much for taking us to Lookout Mtn and Chickamauga, Rock City. I want to go now! Wonderful tips. Made many trips over my childhood to visit relatives. Its neat to see how its changed, yet some places still there over 50 years later!
We have passed by Chattanooga so many times on our way to Florida, on I-75, and never really gave it a serious thought. Now we have to make it a destination by itself. What an eye-opener!!! Thank you so much for doing this video!!! AND... thanks for never letting the quality of your videos slip. Top tier quality every time!!!
It’s a decent area but it’s not that great. Just depends on your taste and what you’re into. For my taste I think New England is far superior or Colorado is far more scenic
I went there in 2014. I like Chattanooga more than I expected it's a mixture of the old and new and the people are very friendly. I was expecting to see a old run down place but the contemporary architecture surprised me, and I especially love the hiking trails and the river. I hope to return soon, what an excellent well made video of this underrated city that exceeded my expectations.
Chattanooga is a great city I’ve lived here my whole life but for any travelers coming in I suggest not going downtown at night it gets very sketchy and sometimes unsafe.
Yea traffic can get backed up at times, but didn't seem too bad when I was there. Its just that so many people traveling through Chattanooga on I-24 anytime people in FL, GA head out to the mid west you go through Chattanooga.
Watch out if you are coming to Memphis. It's become a not so good place to be. Alot of shootings. Might want to visit Nashville instead. We are moving right after Christmas.
Commenting before completing the video but I am a Chattanooga native. If you come to visit, do not leave without eating lunch at Bea's Restaurant. They have the best southern food in Chattanooga and is one of the oldest, in business since 1950. You haven't visited if you haven't eaten there. Coolidge park is fantastic for peaceful park day with kids. However, don't stick around too late, especially on weekends. It can become very unfriendly after hours. Beautiful city, nearly unlimited variety of outdoor activities. There is a lot packed into this mid-size city that could rival many larger cities.
I'm moving to Chattanooga, TN and I love this city and its charm. The only complaint I have is that I'm Orthodox so the only thing missing is a big beautiful domed Church lmao kudos on the video!
Just got back from spring break in Chattanooga, we decided on the trip from this video! We had a blast, thank you - it wasn’t even on our radar until we saw this.
Last month I spent a week in Chattanooga. It was a very lovely city. The people were friendly and the city was very pretty. It did smell funny though. Some people said it was the river some said that it was coal used in some of the factories. I do recommend visiting this nice city if you have the chance.
I plan on doing a road trip to Bloomington, Indiana to see my wife’s best friend hopefully. This will be one of our stops. Pretty much halfway anyway, but this video cements us staying at least a day or two to explore before heading to Indiana.
This video gives a great insight into why I chose to move from Scotland to Chattanooga in 2021. My dog and I love it here. So much to see and do and very easy to get around.
Everyone talkin abt how much they love the place, ive been here my whole life and im just tryna leave and go to a big city somewhere. Guess its just not for me and im chasing something bigger.
You have me thinking of Greenville, am leaving for Charleston tomorrow. Not sure if there will be enough time to do Greenville as well, but should definately be doing Greenville in 2022 if not.
Great informational video. We headed there this coming week. Only live a lil way out and never really explored the area. Thanks for the video and time it took to do it.
Wow, the Chattanooga area looks like the Bonn area, the entrance to the Rhine River Valley in Germany. What a beautiful city, San Antonio/New Orleans style, absolutely, with very tasteful architecture.
OMG. I'm watching this video because I just visited Chattanooga last weekend. I see you recommend the Days Inn at i24 and us41... I'm like "oh cool, that's where Shiva and I stayed even looks like the same exact room", then you even recommended room 214... Which is the same room we were in 🤣. And it was a great room if you have your doggie with you. I 2nd your rec.
Thanks for the video. I'm Brazilian and i'm planning with my husband our vacation around the Tennessee. Your video is the best i've seen about the city... there are all important infos. Great video!
Great to hear, thanks for the feedback, hope you enjoy your time in TN, might be interested in our videos of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Knoxville as well
We chose Chatty for a stop off on the way to and from Disney. Sons are taking HS band trip 4-1 and were going down to meet and drive them back home. Stopping again in Chatty on the way back to show them Ruby falls and a few other things we don't get to see on the way down. Great video,, thanks for you efforts. What drone was used to film, and any special requirements for usage in the area?
I’ve been to Ruby Falls never knowing that I’ve been to the deepest waterfall in the us and Chattanooga is amazing people are nice and the places here are also nice if you’re ever planning on moving to Tennessee Chattanooga is a good place to come to!
Just now seeing this after watching your awesome Pittsburgh video. I notice roughly the same amount of video for Pittsburgh and Chattanooga. We are not worthy, to be honest. But you did a great job.
Français Anglais Hello Randy; Thank you for the beautiful video, with the beautiful music on tenessi. I really like your videos, everything is excellent. I had the opportunity to cross the Tenessi during my trip (Chicago to Miami). In the USA, each state has its own charm. I really like the USA, keenly that the borders are opening.
I think i have watched this episode more then 5 times now. As a belgian we don’t really know much besides california and florida. But i must say that chattanooga is very very nice.
