My Adventures in Chattanooga
















Last weekend, I went to Chattanooga, TN for my niece's college graduation. En route I passed towns like Bucksnort--interesting hillbilly name for a hick town in Tennessee. The folks in Chattanooga are friendly and the women are nicer than the women in Memphis. On Sunday, I went to church on the UT Chattanooga campus. The graduation ceremony was good--the commencement speaker was a military man--he gave good points about what our country is going through right now. I met some of the graduates and congratulated them. After the graduation ceremony, I ate at a barbecue place called Famous Dave's. The food was good. I ate barbecue chicken, corn on the cob and a corn bread muffin. I got jealous because Chattanooga has more Wal Mart stores than Memphis.

While I was in Chattanooga, it was stormy in Memphis. Some parts of the city were flooded. It rained all day and all night on Saturday. Hopefully, everything will be back to normal. The rain and floods shut down I-40 and I-440 Nashville-Memphis because of the flooding. Luckily, it reopened when I came back to Memphis. The downtown area of Nashville is still flooded but it will dry out in a few weeks.

I had a wonderful time and I can't wait to come back to Chattanooga.
