Also, you could check out some of the dams on the Tennessee River.

Also, there are thousands of caves and caverns.

Rock City is quintessential “destination” in Chattanooga.

Also, Bea’s Restaurant in Chattanooga is awesome:

Also, tons of Civil War sites to visit along the Tennessee River.

World famous barbeque in Memphis.

Glad to know about Bea’s, though I don’t know if we’ll ever stop, since it’s in downtown Chattanooga and therefore off our travel path. Plus it has competition (for a meal stop on a trip) from Sugar’s Ribs, which we like quite well.
