As I have traveled to various locations around the globe and usually did my best not to be every tourist that I have ever known. There is something about tourist that is off. It's like they don't care that they don't belong, cause they know they belong somewhere else. So they are able to enjoy and possible annoy those where they are at. I think that is one odd thing about Chattanooga to me, is that it is such a tourist town, and that's okay. I have many a time sat at greyfriar's and shook my head in discust. The real thing is when it comes down to it, it's tourist who help us keep the Aquarium open, ruby falls, the incline all these things and even our own economy is very dependant on that which we at times dispise... So I think today we should all hug a tourist.... Just cause, I mean tree's are okay right but hug a tourist that takes guts.. peace out... Brian
