About and hour and a half west of Chattanooga is Lynchburg, TN, home of the Jack Daniels distillery. Tours go from 9-4:30 and run a little over an hour. You'll get to see the process from start to finish, and although there are no free samples, you'll get to take in plenty of intoxicating aromas. The finale in the bottling plant and where the barrels are stored is the highlight of this free and fun food tour.
The Northshore Grille is located on the north side of the river on Frazier Avenue in front of Coolidge Park. The atmosphere is great and the food is good too. During the warmer months the windows at the front facing Frazier are opened to allow the warm outside breeze in. There are televisions at the bar, and I believe there is an outside porch on the back side of the restaurant open when its warm enough to dine on. Everyone I know has liked what they ordered here, from seafood to vegetables. Also, my friend just got hired here, I think he is a waiter. So if you see a tall, shaved head 20 year old with Eddie on his nametag tell him I said hey.
For any science geeks out there (like me), Chattanooga has one small destination that most people living here don't even know about. This is the Electric Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Almost like a tiny museum, the EVIC houses displays with more information about the history and future potential of electric/battery powered motors, what they are used in, and how they work, than maybe anywhere else in the world. Inside you can take a simulated ride on a frame ev car that shows a short video as you ride while allowing you to see all the working parts of an electric vehicle (ev). The EVIC also houses one of the world's first evs, which was purchased by TVA in 1979 to begin its testing facility. The research done by TVA helped lead to the formation of AVS, now the world's leading manufacturer of electric and hybrid buses and trucks, located here in Chattanooga. You may notice that they make the electric, pollution free buses used by CARTA, who gives free transportation service downtown. Anyone at all concerned with the environment, pollution, fossil fuel usage, etc. will probably appreciate the info here, as well as what Chattanooga is doing to help bring this technology to the rest of the world. The EVIC is open free to the public. You can spend as little or as much time there as you want, and they even have a special section for children.
this beautiful edwardian mansion was built for ross faxton in 1904. the home was designed by architects mead and garfield. in 1920 the mansion was sold to the widow of benjamin thomas. today the mansion is owned by the hunter museum of american art and is open to the public.
Keep going past Ruby Falls and up the mountain. You will come to a sharp curve. Stay straight and make an immediate right. Travel about a mile and you end up at Point Park. The fee is $3 per adult. It has a nice view and many monuments about the war. We walked our dog and had a picnic.
