Anyone from or familiar with Chattanooga Tennessee?
Going up to do some leaf peeping tomorrow. Me and a zillion others! What routes should I avoid and where are some good places to eat? Is the Northshore Grille and The Boathouse any good? Also need a fine restaurant for Saturday evening.

Why not take the train?
Here are some lyrics from the Glenn Miller song: Pardon me, boy Is that the Chattanooga choo choo? Track twenty-nine Boy, you can gimme a shine I can afford To board a Chattanooga choo choo I've got my fare And just a trifle to spare You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore Dinner in the diner Nothing could be finer Than to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar Then you know that Tennessee is not very far Shovel all the coal in Gotta keep it rollin' Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are There's gonna be A certain party at the station Satin and lace I used to call "funny face" She's gonna cry Until I tell her that I'll never roam So Chattanooga choo choo Won't you choo-choo me home? Chattanooga choo choo Won't you choo-choo me home?

THere actually IS a Chattanooga Choo Choo. It's a hotel and the restaurant is a bunch of old Pullmans on a track.
And yes, driving 225 miles to see the reds, golds, and million other colors of a Southern autumn. Like my own backyard ain't got em!!

My family has been to Chattanooga a few times. All I can say is watch out for all the one-way streets, they'll getcha. The last time we were there (about 1 and a half years ago) we ate at this really fine country cooking restaurant (unfortunately I don't remember the name). They had some really good homemade from scratch biscuits, yum yum.
Hope you had/have a great time.
