I have improved in my photography skills and the majority of it was only taken last weekend.

Here's some music to listen to.

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. I have so much family down there that Chattanooga is like a second home to me.

Was not expecting the history here, at all. Nice city.

Visited the city for the first time a few weeks ago a convention and was impressed; didn't get a chance to explore like I wanted to but downtown was physically larger than it seems in pictures or on a map. I'll be back soon to explore and take a lot of pictures. Great photoshoot!

Solid set, JD.

Nice variety of shots. Thanks for all the rail related stuff. Chattanooga doesn't get much rep here so it's nice to see this thread,

I was wondering if there were a lot of pairs of animals in the area of this pic:

^^^ Nah, There's only a lot of pairs of cars.

Awesome and you're welcome. I've just spent about more than half a year here and it's a pretty good place.

Yeah, Chattanooga was historically a railroad hub for the South during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War.It's most famous for the train song "Chattanooga Choo Choo"

Yeah, I was surprised by the size of Downtown. It may not have a lot of skyscrapers, or any at all, but it has a lot of buildings from any architectural eras. The pictures were taken during a tour with my college professor.

Now for the inner city neighborhood that I went to last Saturday with my college.

WEST SIDE/COOLIDGE PARK

Coming soon: a small suburban college town.

ColDayMan · #10 Posted **Apr 14, 2014, 4:34 AM**

Very cool.

Austinlee · #11 Posted **Apr 15, 2014, 2:29 AM**

Beautiful city! It really has it's own vibe. Love that bridge.

Here are some scenes of the area around my university For a suburb, it is pretty green and there is a lot of natural activities to do.

COLLEGEDALE[SIZE="7"]

Yeah, this is me during one of those "university activities" they have to get people out on Saturday nights.

The following is a group of SWAT personnel. The school was on lockdown because someone threatened a bomb or shooting.

This is it for now. Probably next time I'll get a better camera for the school year. Peace

Hey, thanks for an interesting take on a metro/town I spent some time in back in the day.

BnaBreaker · #14 Posted **May 9, 2014, 2:14 AM**

Not sure if I've mentioned before jd, but my mom is a graduate of SAU, and I have spent lots of time in Collegedale. Been to Imagination Station many, many times. hahaha

^^^ I didn't know that. Dang, this world is a lot smaller than I thought.
