I am in Dalton, GA about 30 miles from Chattanooga. Chattanooga is a great example of a small American City that has kind of redefined itself and risen from its own ashes. When I moved to the area in the early 80's it was a dying foundry town with very little going for it. It is now a very lively arts community with lots of tourism. There is a bridge that crosses the Tennessee River that instead of being torn down when its usefulness wained due to rerouting traffic, it was made in to a pedestrian bridge which should provide a great place for some street performing. I'll let you know how it goes! I noticed that you had started the thread about Jerry Rasmussin andf the Royal Mile. He has become one of my new mudcat friends in the short 10 days that I have been on this site. YOu get a sense of knowing people pretty quickly in the written word! TODD
