  • Missionary Ridge

    Next time you go over to Pandora's this little detour is worth the time. Coming into Chattanooga you can get off of I-24 on US 27 southbound. Go 2.8 miles and turn left on South Crest Road. Crest Road runs the length of Missionary Ridge. You get a beautiful view of the city and there is a memorial park where the battle of Missionary Ridge took place. It is very humbling to stand where many fought and died. Crest road is lined with beautiful old mansions. When Crest road ends it turns into Campbell St and then Bonny Oaks drive and when it goes under Hy 153 it turns into Hy 58 which is the street Pandora's is on. So you get a history lesson and don't have to endure the interstate traffic going through Chattanooga. Here is a link to our pictures.

            Thank you sir. They look like a regular pair of pants. I recently bought the BMW summer pants and they are baggy on me.

              First requirement for pants to fit well is to be skinny as a rail like Martin. It's been a looong time since I've had a flat belly.
