Pardon My Rant, Part Three

I'm originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee (that is, if you don't count that I was born on an Air Force Base).     Chattanooga means HOME to me.     But, there is something that is currently occurring in the downtown area that threatens to destroy the beauty and integrity of the historic, artistic and beautiful landscape that has been so finely developed over many years.     That threat is a proposed hotel, which is to be built practically touching the oldest and longest foot-bridge in the country (the bridge was closed for many years, slated for demolition, saved by the historical preservation society, and transformed into a bridge for foot traffic between the two art districts on either side of the Tennessee River).

First, here is an article that will give you a brief overview of the situation -- Cornerstones, TPL Should Fight Coolidge Hotel, and here is a link to the I Love Coolidge Park site, which shows photos that depict how the hotel will spoil the Park and Bridge's beauty and harmonious flow with nature.

Finally, the most-important link -- the Petition Page, where you can sign your name to the petition that will be presented at the City Council Meeting on January 25th.     All signatures will be GREATLY appreciated!

Downtown Chattanooga and the surrounding areas have plenty of hotels, motels, and B&Bs.     If another one is something the City feels it must do, then the least they can do is find another location for it rather than sticking it in the middle of a beautiful park and directly next to a grand historic landmark!

(leave me a comment if you sign the petition, please -- thanks!)
