Anna Across America - Chattanooga (A Tour of Tennessee)

Chattanooga, the fourth largest city in the state of Tennessee, is truly "The Scenic City" as its official nickname dictates.  Chattanooga is surrounded by mountainous beauty as the Tennessee River ambles through the downtown area. Attractions abound in this city of 175,000 such as the highly acclaimed Tennessee Aquarium (pictured in the background), the world's largest freshwater aquarium, Rock City (a must "see" atop Lookout Mountain), Ruby Falls,  and numerous festivals for visitors and residents alike.

Anna has a distinct connection to Chattanooga - her father spent his formative years here in the 1960s and 1970s and her cousin Will played football at UT- Chattanooga and continues to reside here.
