Heading to Chattanooga for vacation..?

I'll be in the area for several days. I happened upon the fact that Warrior is just over the line in GA. What notable stores and pawnshops should I hit if I get the chance?
I already know about GC, but what else?

thanks, K

I don't know about any of that, but I do know you can easily cross over the state line to go to the Chickamauga battlefield. It's one of the best preserved Civil War battlefields in the U.S. Probably the only other one more interesting is Gettysburg.

i appreciate the info. i had seen it on the map but, sadly, didn't realize the significance. We may have to check it out

I've been to several Civil War battlefields, including Vicksburg which is very important. However, I personally found Chickamauga to be the most interesting and I am not alone in feeling this way.

Chattanooga actually has a decent downtown (broad street along the river). One of my favorite restaurants in my territory is there (Big River Grill). If you want to try flyfishing for trout, the guys at Feather and Fly can set you up on a guided trip. As far as hotels, I've found the downtown hotels to be the best deals.
