Chattanooga, part 2

One of the things I wanted to do while we were in Chattanooga was ride the Incline Railway again.

Here's the Lookout Mountain 4-minute video of the cars riding up and down the tracks:

Going up:

At the top:

At the top is Point Park, and we walked down to it thinking we'd see a cafe or restaurant somewhere that wasn't the snack bar in the railway station. But, no, no restaurants or signs for restaurants. Somebody's missing a huge opportunity on that front. Point Park offers good views and interesting Civil War history.

Heading back to the Incline Railway to go back down, I saw a 42:

Going back down the mountain:

At the foot of the mountain, right across the street from where you board the Incline Railway, we were delighted to see Mr. T's Pizza:

You can see the menu here. I got a small veggie classic, and The Husband got beef:

This is the interior (which did clear out enough while we were eating to avoid people cameos) and the view from our table of the ride going up and down as we ate:

We had bought fudge in the Incline Railway gift shop so ate that for dessert:

It was unusually good fudge, and I hate that I didn't get a photo of it. I guess I was too busy eating it.

We remembered fondly the Tow Truck Museum from our previous trip, and we decided to go back. It had moved from a storefront downtown to a place further out, but we knew we'd pass right by the new location on our way back to the hotel. Here's a picture of the original location:

and here's the current facility:

They begin your visit with a short video presentation explaining the history and purpose of the museum. I don't see that video online, but this one will give you the idea:

International Towing and Recovery Museum - Chattanooga from Miller Industries on Vimeo.

I don't often post photos of myself on my blog, but there was one of the trucks you were allowed to climb on:

There's a memorial plaza outside:

Back at the hotel we put up our feet for a bit, because The Husband was taking me out to the ball game later. The Chattanooga Lookouts play at ATT field. We had great seats.

It was some kind of kids promotional night, and there were many fun activities between innings for the children in the stands. There was a program, though I didn't pay much attention to it. We ate hotdogs and popcorn for supper and had a great time as the game went into extra innings.

Afterwards, we walked back to the hotel. We had a full day planned for the next day, too, so we wanted to get some rest.
