Chattanooga is probably one of my favorite cities in the South. Its friendly, modern, clean and has lots of vegetarian food. Another thing I love about it is that is has tons of old billboards and signs for business that flourished int he past, and survive today. I hope towns like this never replace these signs.
Driving around Alabama we saw lots of vintage singnage and beautiful places. On the way to Chattanooga from Birmingham Alabama, we needed some new tires for out trailer or risked getting a flat on the freeway on a 100 degree day. We stopped in a small town and called every tire place we could. The only person available was a mobile mechanic who ironically had us meet him at his shop. His name was bob, and he was pretty annoyed to be putting on new tires in the heat. He was even more annoyed that I took his picture as he changed the tires (for our travel blog, not to be rude), but at least he put the tires on right and we didnt die on the freeway or get stuck somewhere. Thanks bob!
