Tell us what you think: Picture of proposed Coolidge Park hotel
This is a picture of the proposed Coolidge Park hotel, "The Coolidge."
Please tell us what you think about it. Click on pic for bigger view.
My immediate reaction was: Why would they put a building right there and block the view?

Posted by: James at October 7, 2004 04:41 PMlooks like poo. I thought the same thing, "Why block the view?"

Posted by: gid at October 8, 2004 04:59 PMI think somebody had crappy property for years that turns out to be worth a mint. Good for them!

It think it would be good for the north side of the river and if I was visiting Chattanooga it would be my first pick of a place to stay -- good resturants, nice park, cool shops.
