Episode #12 - Where Else to Go: Chattanooga
With its convenient location in southeastern Tennessee -it's an
easy getaway from Atlanta, Knoxville, Nashville, Hunstsville, and
Birmingham - it surprised me that most people don't think of
Chattanooga. It seems like an overlooked city, a definite where
else to go destination, and it could easily be added on to a visit
to this part of the country.
Joining me on Episode #12 to talk about Chattanooga is Cory
Lee.
Cory Lee was
diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy at the age of two, but that
certainly has not diminished his desire to travel - wheelchair and
all. He has been everywhere from Australia to Iceland, just to name
a few, and he blogs about his accessible (and sometimes not so
accessible) travel adventures on CurbFreeWithCoryLee.com. Cory
hopes to inspire others to break out of their comfort zones and
start rolling around the world.
Getting around a city can be a bit frustrating for Cory at
times, as he looks for accessible public transporation and taxis.
He visits Chatannooga frequently as not only is it close to his
home in Lafayette, Georgia, (about a 30 minute drive), but it's a
easy city for him to get around.
Cory says there are plenty of superb restaurants,
attractions, outdoor activities, and even an arts district in
Chattanooga. Its'a a growing city, with new businesses
popping up around the city. It's also near the Ocoee River, where
part of the 1996 Olympics took place, and a short drive from the
Great Smoky Mountains. You'll want to listen to the full podcast
for all the places Cory recommends, but here are a links to a few
stories that give you a little more background.
Rock City - Located at the top of a mountin, the entire site is
not wheelchair accessible. However, there is a special path for
wheelchair usersthat is stair-free, so you can take in the
spectacular views.
Chattanooga Zoo - One of Cory's favorite spots in
Chattanooga.
