Reasons To Come This Month • The Chattanooga Symphony &
Opera plays under the stars during Pops on the River on July 3. Spread a
picnic blanket on the grass at Coolidge Park, and stay for the fireworks
show. • Also in the park, see free movies at 9 p.m. every Saturday
in July.
Where To Stay The Hilton Garden Inn, Residence Inn, and
Courtyard by Marriott sit very close to the Creative Discovery Museum
and the Tennessee Aquarium. Escape the crowds by staying at the
Chattanoogan Hotel, a modern conference hotel with a spa, pool, and
several restaurants. It's 13 blocks from the aquarium. Couples should
stay at the Bluff View Inn, a B&B in the arts district.
Our Favorite Stops Some new, some blue, some tried and
true, these shops and restaurants keep us coming back again and again.
