Chattanooga Tennessee Walking Tour - 4K City Walks and Virtual Walking Tours for Treadmill

0:03
hello Walkers and welcome to Chattanooga Tennessee
0:09
on the Tennessee River my name is Henry I'll be your proxy Walker today your virtual travel guide
0:15
your co-discoverer and we're gonna find some stuff today this is going to be a lot about
0:20
Discovery and what we can find like I just found this place discovered it
0:27
myself I'm just kidding uh of course so I've never really been around in
0:33
Chattanooga this is a new one for me and I haven't done a whole lot of research other than a quick Wikipedia article
0:41
um and I wanted to squeeze this in before the rain comes and so we're gonna find cool places like this Riverfront
0:48
area and we're just going to explore and see what we find I love this little
0:54
steps here with the waters like a little water park leads down to the river we're
0:59
gonna go just take a quick look at that then we're going to loop around through this market area I saw
1:05
it is currently uh what is it I think it's
1:11
87 degrees Fahrenheit 28 degrees Celsius 87 percent humidity
1:18
I think that's right uh I might have my Fahrenheit wrong I already forgot it uh
1:23
I'm going to talk a little bit more once we get away from these uh this traffic
1:29
we're on the Warren Street Bridge no Market Street Bridge sorry on Market Street that makes more sense
1:36
and over to our right is this really cool
1:41
uh splash park goes down to the Tennessee River
1:47
which is the river on which Chattanooga sits I'm going to give you a few facts here
1:54
in a minute but first I want to thank our patreon supporters you guys I really do appreciate the support got a couple
2:00
new of you new supporters now patrons and I want to say thank you also thank
2:06
you to the folks that have contributed one time uh contributions via Paypal
2:11
it's also very welcome and uh very helpful
2:19
so let's see here we're getting into a pedestrian area which is pretty cool
2:26
this is where the kind of Market or maybe it's a Fair of some sort
2:33
this is the Tennessee Aquarium that's what I looked a little bit like an apartment building from the outside but
2:40
um I have not been in here but I'm kind of interested in going in if you know about the aquarium please let me know in
2:46
the comments section [Music] oh yeah we're gonna go down here
2:51
also to avoid the music and I just wanna
2:57
I think actually we're gonna loop around towards the end sphere
3:03
Cool River culture down here of course [Music] um
3:09
the native people were here first and displaced each other over the centuries
3:17
most recently the Cherokee were here which I think first dated back to 1776.
3:25
here's another Splash Pool oh this is fun man we're
3:31
gonna get up over here hopefully the music will not trigger a
3:37
copyright strength uh I may drop in some of my own just to
3:43
block the algorithm from being upset with me
3:50
also part of the aquarium over here [Music]
4:04
and over there is puckets oh yeah yeah it's a DJI yeah that's the same one yeah
4:10
it's a little tripod stand yep yep it's really handy have a good one
4:18
um is there really know what's going on here let's walk around
4:26
[Music]
4:32
well that's a very popular music so you may have to drop in my own I like
4:38
these little arches over here
4:43
we just did one I'm gonna I'm hoping to do more than one
4:49
walk in Chattanooga so keep an eye out for that it looks like a farmer's market maybe
4:57
with some crafts
5:03
[Music]
5:13
all right now this is also a main drag that drove in on and uh it's got some sort of older
5:20
downtown areas but we're going to save that for another walk we're gonna loop around here
5:33
definitely a lively area
5:38
sorry to Bob and weave I do that I'm easily distracted on these walks but I
5:44
love sharing these little places that we find and little details that like this
5:51
stuff over here these are thermoses and stuff really cool lots of Art
5:57
and crafts and Jewelry snacks
6:04
excuse me
6:12
[Music]
6:18
so you can see how big and massive this aquarium is
6:23
it goes for the whole block about a half block wide and a full block long
6:41
I'm always a little self-conscious about walking around with the Gimbal and the camera
6:46
for some reason I really shouldn't be
6:52
I think that's kind of natural
7:04
it is soupy here 87 humidity I think I said
7:09
and warm maybe this is the main drag I came in on
7:16
um but let's go down to the river and now we'll loop around there's this Riverfront area
7:22
which is pretty cool I love that they have a bike lane too specifically
7:28
bikes it's pretty cool
7:33
now I believe so that's the north side we're looking at north side of the river and I forgot to point out
7:41
maybe we'll do it another time on another walk there's a foot Bridge across the river
7:48
and maybe we'll go over there and check that area out at some point not today
7:53
maybe on Monday I didn't tell you the time of year so it is
7:59
Late July and us here
8:06
um about uh noon right around noon so
8:14
this is what one might expect apparently during the Civil War
8:22
Chattanooga was quite an important Nexus because a lot of
8:28
railroads and Roads came through here as well as the river and it later became an industrial center
8:34
because of that looks like they're going to have a band down here
8:41
Maybe it's awesome look at all this great seating
8:46
wow that's perfect we're gonna be it the population here is about 180 000 I don't remember if I
8:52
mentioned that it's Hamilton County and uh we're actually gonna go to Hamilton
8:58
County Ohio later on this trip which is Cincinnati pretty much
9:04
I mean there's other communities in there of course area around Cincinnati but
9:11
it's the metro area
9:16
there's the bridge that we started where we started it's
9:22
interesting to note that it's a drawbridge I not sure
9:28
I guess the tall Stacks boats maybe that come through here would need a drawbridge
9:36
but that's pretty high and then we can look back you can see sort of a blue Bridge behind
9:43
that is the pedestrian bridge you can see the aquarium
9:48
Center and we're going to walk along the water here because I want to show you this these two riverboats
9:57
which are often referred to as tall Stacks I think in that they were or a paddle wheeler
10:04
I assume these are not steam operated steam operations can be pretty be fairly
10:11
uh fairly dangerous I'm gonna tuck my mic
10:18
in so you might hear some rustling
10:23
may help a little bit with some wind noise
10:32
they're that mist it's not smoke I think it's mist help cool things down although
10:39
usually that's from evaporation and I don't think the evaporation is going
10:45
to be efficient
10:53
it's kind of a neat uh pier and dock out here
11:14
Southern Bells Landing now I'm going to assume here that this isn't actually a
11:19
paddle Whalers maybe just permanently docked there
11:32
's a Riverboat modern version it's probably pretty fun
11:47
what we're going to do is go up here and then we're going to make a left and go back up the hill aways because there's some
11:54
other things in the area seem pretty cool
12:00
I came in to town over this bridge I believe
12:06
I saw at least one baseball stadium minor league team
12:13
foreign
12:41
noticing the colors of the um
12:46
trees they painted I think they paint the base of the trees for insects to help prevent insect
12:52
infestations but it might just be for decoration
12:58
I'm curious about this southern belles Landing
13:05
as soon as it has a shop and tickets
13:10
but it also looks fairly permanently more there's a there's a smaller one on
13:17
the far side so maybe uh
13:24
maybe this excuse me oh there's also a duck tour so these duck boats that are amphibious boats I
13:31
see one up here on the land we saw one in the river earlier when we started
13:37
we'll go check that out hopefully
13:43
maybe we'll uh find a route
13:49
to where I want to go
14:04
normally I would be co-walking meaning I'd be looking at my the map on
14:10
my phone as I walk but now I'm filming with my phone can't really access it I
14:16
think it's a whole new system
14:24
[Music] Chattanooga Ducks
14:30
so I guess you can go in the river and on the streets and
14:35
they give a little tour
14:42
we did one in Dublin Ireland actually
14:49
which is a lot of fun
14:57
I hoping there'd be a stairwell up this hill to the right
15:04
but that's right we get to uh see this little playground
15:17
how's it going man all right good
15:35
I think they were rolling their own cigarettes
15:40
with possible air quotes I did see a guy smoking a crack pipe on the drive-in so
15:45
that was interesting not down here but further up the hill
15:50
unless uh less busy area was interesting
15:57
I assumed it looks like a crack pipe what I know of those
16:03
things
16:14
um I like to talk a little bit about how much I enjoy interacting with you guys in the comment
16:21
section of YouTube it is a surprising
16:27
aspect to me I thought I would just be into the walking
16:32
exploring and that's great love it but I really enjoy hearing from you guys
16:42
uh hearing your feedback and your thoughts and your memories and Corrections get a lot of those
16:49
because I make a lot of mistakes or I leave things out and people suggest other places to go and make requests
16:56
it's great it's great little community and I love it I love hearing that well not hearing but knowing that
17:04
uh viewers are enjoying these so please if you have any thoughts or Corrections
17:11
or memories you want to share please let me know in the comments section
17:16
and I try to respond to all the comments that make it through the
17:22
admittedly quirky YouTube comments
17:27
algorithm filter that's a lot of words but basically that YouTube lets through
17:33
sometimes I go on there and there's four or five comments from months ago
17:40
I have to go and apologize for not responding sooner but I do read them
17:49
Cold Stone Creamery lots of restaurants down here a little further up there are more
17:58
hotels and that sort of thing a lot more Office Buildings it looks like commercial spaces
18:07
normally I like to call out the street names but I'm not really seeing any street signs
18:18
oh here we go coming up on Aquarium Way kind of makes sense
18:30
and then off to the right here is the baseball field and Stadium
18:43
Chi Memorial and then off to the left it's kind of where we were earlier
18:50
with the aquarium we're gonna go up I think
18:56
well there not really anything else up there it's a small minor league team double A
19:02
I believe if you're into baseball uh and so we're going to go back down here and we'll make a right
19:22
big parking garage there's a lot of public parking down here I don't know what the costs are I used
19:28
Park mobile app to park on the street a few blocks away and it was two bucks for an hour and a
19:33
half it's a pretty pretty reasonable honestly
19:40
here's an IMAX theater off to our right
19:49
and this is Aquarium Way and
19:57
run across love the bike Lanes
20:05
here's a hotel this is chestnuts Chestnut Street
20:24
nice and convenient down location
20:30
I don't want to go too far up here because I want to save that for another walk but I do want to go up at least one more
20:35
block there's a Residence Inn
20:42
there's a kind of a spinning over the left here our alleyway
20:47
you may have oh here's a well that's pretty cool too
20:53
it's like a free shuttle system Maybe I like that I like that a lot
21:06
there's a Hilton up here looks like this is a Climbing Gym off to
21:11
our left
21:18
High Point climbing and Fitness [Music] knew it
21:41
I'm gonna go one more block here yeah
21:47
closed course because there's a little Tower over
21:53
there I want to see what that is I think it might be a children's museum
22:00
foreign
22:09
street that we're Crossing on I mean Crossing Chestnut here
22:19
cool they have a bike share system here or bike rental like that too way to go Chattanooga
22:34
sorry bud yeah so Ocean Adventure Wild Kratts
22:41
Creative Discovery Museum I love these things
22:48
these Children's Museums very cool
22:53
they're just like let kids literally discover things right
22:59
just pursue their curiosity ignite their curiosity curiosity it's fantastic
23:05
we're gonna come up here to Fourth and make a left yeah you can see
23:12
people uh enjoying and they look at the playground and
23:17
oh that looks awesome inside climbing
23:24
really Climbing Gym jungle gym kind of place
23:33
well that's interesting
23:42
like the uh right the intersection
23:48
you can see the Tennessee flag over there on that building it's a
23:53
red with a blue circle in the Middle with three white stars I don't really
23:59
know any of the symbolism about all of that
24:15
push the button
24:24
There's A Creative Discovery Museum again
24:39
there we go you can kind of get an idea
24:46
looking around here how hilly this area is along the river
24:52
that way
25:12
it's interesting they've got a a light camera or a security camera over there
25:18
it's above the corner well I gotta tell you it is soupy here
25:28
being from Montana it's hard to uh
25:33
it's a shock to the system I guess over
25:38
humidity here called mugginess it's muggy
25:50
some artwork here
26:00
moon pies to Mountain highs Trail high in the sky I like that
26:07
there's a Pie Trail in Montana it's not a formal thing but you can go to all these small towns
26:15
and Central Montana and try different pies
26:21
what are you done it's a lot of fun to do if you like pie so
26:28
again I think we're gonna cross again head back to the aquarium and well we're going to go over here to
26:34
a little neighborhood area you can see there's some bars and restaurants down here
26:40
this is Broad Street that we're crossing
26:48
older buildings steam Logistics man that's a new one
26:59
it's busy down here but it's also kind of quiet you know it's busy in a manageable way for a
27:05
city of 180 000 and you know surely
27:11
a lot more in the region metro area
27:24
hi there
27:31
by the way is that on live video no oh okay well thank you
27:41
that is a rarity that people get upset and I will blur her face hopefully I'll
27:47
remember to do that some more old spaces um if you ever find yourself in one of
27:54
these and don't want to be in the video please let me know and I will remove you
28:01
I want to be respectful of that look at this I like this
28:07
these art this is sort of they do this in Bozeman
28:12
too and uh it just is so much better than a
28:19
blank green or gray box adds a little color to the space
28:26
there's uh we're crossing fourth here and that is uh Hair of the Dog Pub
28:33
and a parking garage
28:41
this is I don't know if this building is old on the left but I do like the Assad work
28:48
the uh [Music] Chattanooga Allergy Clinic
28:55
which is kind of a neat old style right sort of
29:01
early 1900s late 1800s I'm not sure what the history of that
29:07
building is
29:36
all right so I I said we're going to go up here and duck into this little neighborhood so I want to do that
29:43
keep my word you can see uh that's actually a parking
29:50
garage over there I believe but it's got some cool facade to it and we're gonna cross the
29:57
market on third we're gonna go up Third Street
30:22
now it seems I drove through here earlier and it seems like this is kind of a mix
30:29
of there might be a lot of new stuff although new is kind of relative
30:36
these look like they're 10 to 20 years old
30:41
this one off to the left might be a little older but it might be newer
30:47
and then you get into some even newer stuff down there now
30:54
um pretty quickly you start to talk about
30:59
this and you get into issues of gentrification
31:05
which I don't want to go down that rabbit hole right now even though it is a serious issue
31:15
look how quiet and sedate this little neighborhood is right downtown right by the river
31:31
quiet town houses Pleasant little yards
31:39
front porches I love a good usable front porch something that's more than
31:45
just decorative I think it's fantastic
31:53
Cherry Street town homes
31:58
getting a little workout here
32:18
nice shaded and it really is to me surprising how quiet it can be
32:23
just a block off of one of the main drags looking back at the aquarium
32:30
and uh we we're kind of where we started not hilarious
32:39
I think what we're gonna do we're on Cherry Street so I'm gonna go up
32:45
Aquarium Way in other little ways foreign
32:51
[Music] nice and quiet in here
32:57
as a loud truck goes by but I think on the whole looks like some condos in here
33:05
I mean yeah I could totally live down here if I had the money
33:12
air conditioning which I think is fairly ubiquitous
33:19
um down here I think there are course
33:25
people who can't afford air conditioning or these fancy condos
33:36
this is a kind of a neat little space Walnut Street
33:41
more Town Homes here shops
33:46
looks like condos and then over here is the Footbridge
33:55
I'm not going to go to that yet I'm going to wait for that
34:00
and try and do that another day somebody on one wheel I like those I don't think I'm not sure I could ride
34:06
one but they do look fun
34:13
Walnut Commons is what this is called
34:46
all right so we're just gonna make a loop here I wanted to check this out and see
34:51
if maybe we get into some older parts of town
34:57
I will try to show those in another way looks like
35:02
if we well there's a major road but I think if we kept going up
35:08
we would get into some of these older places
35:15
but here's a looks like an older apartment building
35:23
yeah you give them some stuff up there I'm I don't have time to do that today so we'll try and grab it another time
35:29
I'm gonna and uh we're gonna walk down to that
35:37
stairs of that water stairs that we saw at the beginning because I'm intrigued by that and I
35:42
think it's really cool I love little public areas like that that
35:47
allow kids to maybe get a little wet to run around
35:53
burn off some energy and just be outside
35:58
without without melting
36:06
and so I talked about the hills earlier so when we walk by the Hilton and then you see a big hill right behind it
36:14
um with some buildings and then that drops off and then you end up going up another
36:20
Hill it's uh quite
36:28
okay I'm just going to show you this sorry I'm going to tilt you down and
36:34
this uh sewer grate sewer cover
36:39
it's got that city of Chattanooga drains to River no dumping but it's got a cannon and a little scene in the metal
36:46
work you know something like that
36:52
isn't uh it's probably expensive um not outrageously expensive for a
36:59
government but it's a little detail like that that adds a lot of personality to
37:04
an urban space I also want to comment on the trees because I love trees in cities
37:13
makes such a huge difference personality of a place and it it actually
37:20
scientifically it helps cool a place keeps it keeps the temperatures down you
37:25
know when you have these giant cement heat sinks in the urban centers
37:32
it makes it harder for cities to cool down at night to stay cool during the day gets into a feedback loop
37:39
but a few trees around to make a huge difference
37:54
so a little Loop
38:11
you can see um a barbecue place across the way
38:16
which is one of the treats of being in the south
38:22
that's a great barbecue and there's a lot of regional differences as well
38:35
I do love the parking apps makes life so much easier
38:42
rather than [Music] having to come up with coins all this
38:49
lady maybe she's uses a credit card even a credit card is makes it a lot
38:54
easier
39:02
right so this big brick building is Pucketts which I believe is a restaurant but I'm not entirely sure
39:12
at least half of it anyway [Music]
39:19
oh a nice little breeze makes a huge difference [Music]
39:35
Jay watch here
40:06
foreign
40:32
here's the aquarium again a massive building
40:39
space this is Winter by Dowd Opera sorry if I'm mispronouncing your
40:46
name
40:51
this is the what is it oh ghoul Passage
40:59
I think that's a native word [Music] great water feature
41:06
[Music] you see that part down there
41:12
it's awesome
41:20
it's fantastic this
41:37
can walk in this like a little Rushing Water
41:48
and you got a splash pool down at the bottom that's in the shade that's really cool and well thought out
41:59
I love it super fun and then you can even make
42:05
your way down to the river all right I'm gonna do that but I want to thank you guys for joining us today
