Chattanooga is the fourth-largest city in the U.S. state of Tennessee, with a population of 167,674 as of the 2010 census, and an estimated population of 171,279 in 2012.[7] The city, which has a downtown elevation of approximately 680 feet (210 m), lies at the transition between the ridge-and-valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. The city is therefore surrounded by various mountains and ridges. The official nickname for Chattanooga is the Scenic City, being reinforced by the city's growing national reputation as a haven for numerous outdoor activities. Several unofficial nicknames include River City, Chatt, Nooga, Chattown, and Gig City, demonstrating Chattanooga's claims that it has the fastest internet service in the Western Hemisphere.[8][9]
Chattanooga is internationally known for the 1941 song, the world's first gold record, Chattanooga Choo Choo, by Glenn Miller and his orchestra.
Chattanooga is home to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and Chattanooga State Community College.
Attractions
Chattanooga touts many attractions, including the Tennessee Aquarium, caverns, and new waterfront attractions along and across the Tennessee River. In the downtown area is the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, housed in the renovated Terminal Station and exhibiting the largest HO model train layout in the United States. Also downtown are the Creative Discovery Museum, a hands-on children's museum dedicated to science, art, and music; an IMAX 3D Theatre, and the newly expanded Hunter Museum of American Art. The Tennessee Riverwalk, an approximately 13-mile (21 km) long trail running alongside the river, is another attraction for both tourists and residents alike.
Across the river from downtown is the North Shore district, roughly bounded by the Olgiati Bridge to the west and Veterans Bridge to the east. The newly renovated area draws locals and tourists to locally owned independent boutique stores and restaurants, plus attractions along the Chattanooga Riverpark system, including Coolidge Park and Renaissance Park.[118][119]
The Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park is located a short distance from the downtown area.
Parks and natural scenic areas provide other attractions. The red-and-black painted See Rock City barns along highways in the Southeast are remnants of a now-classic Americana tourism campaign to attract visitors to the Rock City tourist attraction in nearby Lookout Mountain, Georgia. The mountain is also the site of Ruby Falls and Craven's House.[121] The Lookout Mountain Incline Railway is a steep funicular railway that rises from the St. Elmo Historic District to the top of the mountain, where passengers can visit the National Park Service's Point Park and the Battles for Chattanooga Museum.[122] Formerly known as Confederama, the museum includes a diorama that details the Battle of Chattanooga. From the military park, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Moccasin Bend and the Chattanooga skyline from the mountain's famous point or from vantage points along the well-marked trail system.[123]
Near Chattanooga, the Raccoon Mountain Reservoir, Raccoon Mountain Caverns, and Reflection Riding Arboretum and Botanical Garden boast a number of outdoor and family fun opportunities. Other arboretums include Bonny Oaks Arboretum, Cherokee Arboretum at Audubon Acres, and Cherokee Trail Arboretum. The Ocoee River, host to a number of events at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, features rafting, kayaking, camping, and hiking. Just outside Chattanooga is the Lake Winnepesaukah amusement park. The Cumberland Trail begins in Signal Mountain, just outside of Chattanooga.
Festivals and events
Chattanooga hosts the well-known Riverbend Festival, an annual nine-day music festival held in June in the downtown area. One of the most popular events is the Bessie Smith Strut, a one-night showcase of blues and jazz music named for the city's most noted blues singer. The annual Southern Brewer's Festival and the River Roast festival celebrate such traditional Southern staples as beer and barbecue.
New events, such as GoFest!, the Between the Bridges wakeboard competition, Heritage Festival, and Talespin, complement well-established events, such as Riverbend and the Southern Brewer's Festival, and attract their own audiences.[124][125] Back Row Films is a city-wide celebration of film co-sponsored by the Hunter Museum of American Art, the Arts & Education Council, and UTC.[126]

SPIRIT OF SUWANNEE MUSIC PARK
SPIRIT OF SUWANNEE MUSIC PARK
THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2019
The incredible Spirit of Suwannee Music Park is located some eight miles north of Live Oak, a cute little town in north Florida. Its roughly 800 acres can host as many as 21,000 visitors, many of whom will camp in a beautiful natural setting, while attending one of the many music festivals that are organized year-round. The park is located on the banks of the tea-colored Suwannee River, made famous by Stephen Foster’s 1851 minstrel song “Old Folks at home.” The park was initially operated by the Suwannee County Development Authority, and taken over by the Cornett family in 1985. They made it into the successful enterprise it is today. The Cornetts had started the still-going-strong “Festival of the Bluegrass” in Lexington, in 1974, so it is no wonder that their “Spirit of Suwannee Music Park and Campground” began as a venue for bluegrass festivals as well. Nowadays, the park features all kinds of music, including soul, bluegrass, country, roots revival, children’s programs, you name it.
We arrived on a Thursday afternoon, and were the only campers. We had a great site on the edge of a big, pond, surrounded by majestic cypress trees, across from the Bill Monroe shelter, how appropriate! As we discovered next morning, the woods are home to some incredible creatures.
The two big wooden sculptures were made by Danish recycle “Troll artist,” Thomas Dambo. The first one, Snorra of Suwannee, is named after his girlfriend. It is made entirely out of discarded pallets from a nearby furniture factory. The witch, complete with a cobweb in her throat, seems to be pulling herself out of the lake. The other one, Runes Tree, named after the artist’s assistant, shows a giant who is impaled by a tree. The sculptures were installed in 2015 for the yearly Hulaween festival, and were such a success with the festival goers that it was decided to keep them.
Although there was no concert scheduled that evening, Thursday night is karaoke night, held in the Music Hall, and hosted by Teddy Mac. Teddy is a super charming host, a wonderful singer, and a professional Elvis impersonator (as far as the latter is concerned, all we noticed is his Elvis pomp). I could not verify Teddy’s claim that his father was involved with the creation of “Heartbreak Hotel,” one of Elvis’s early hits, but it makes for a great story.
Teddy has the evening down to a science: all who want to sing have to sign up in advance, so the show progresses very smoothly, one singer at the time. As you will hear, some singers have remarkably good voices; one girl is so good that many guests put money at her feet. Teddy Mac sings towards the end of the evening, after which he helps to celebrate the birthdays of some of the guests.
Although the night’s performers may not have ventured into the realm of roots music, their solid, sometimes beautiful singing, and the ease with which they present their skills, make karaoke into a unique category of folk music, which we truly enjoyed.

The Year at Duke in Photographs (2012)
A look back at 2012 with photographs of memorable Duke moments.
2012 was a memorable year for Duke University. An early highlight was January's Winter Forum, where more than a hundred Duke students explored what it means to be a refugee.
Hundreds of other students from Duke and North Carolina Central University came together to package meals for an organization that fights hunger.
At the end of January, the Duke community gathered to celebrate the life of Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans, who gave so much to the university, the arts and North Carolina.
In February, the walls of the Nasher Museum of Art lit up during a festival that highlighted digital technologies that are transforming the arts and humanities.
And in college basketball's greatest rivalry, the clock ticked down in February as Duke's Austin Rivers took a shot just before the final buzzer. Yes! Blue Devils 85, Tar Heels 84.
Spirits soared that night. But the human spirit thrives in many ways across our campus. At the medical center, Duke dedicated a magnificent new center for cancer patients.
In March, Duke students celebrated what has become a colorful campus tradition: Holi, the Hindu festival of colors.
Throughout the year, some of the world's most prominent leaders came to Duke. In April, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke with political science professor Peter Feaver.
A few days later, Duke broke ground on its new Environmental Hall, which will be home to the Nicholas School and among the most energy-efficient buildings on campus.
Duke named Paula McClain, a professor of political science and public policy, as the new dean of its graduate school.
In May, thousands of students and their cheering families gathered in Wallace Wade Stadium for the university's annual commencement ceremonies.
Also in the spring, Duke announced the first of several initiatives to offer free online courses to people around the world, as with this neuroscience course taught by Professor Len White.
During the summer, Duke's Coach K led the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team to another gold medal. Two Duke students also won Olympic medals: divers Abby Johnston and Nick McCrory. Go Duke!
And speaking of Go Duke, the newest members of our community, the class of 2016, gathered in August for their official class photo on East Campus.
As they and other students arrived on campus, they found a former laundry warehouse had been converted into a wonderful new space for dancers and artists.
Duke converted another campus facility, too, although only temporarily. It kicked off its new development campaign, Duke Forward, inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.
A few days later, the university named the Rev. Dr. Luke Powery to become the new dean of Duke Chapel.
The good news continued when Duke's Robert Lefkowitz received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, sharing the award with his former Duke collaborator.
And then ... ding, ding, ding. Duke's football team rang the victory bell after defeating UNC in a thriller. For the first time in nearly two decades, the team was also invited to a bowl game.
2012 brought plenty of competition in politics, too. Duke students stayed up late on election night in November to watch President Obama win re-election.
And as the year came to a close, Duke began a celebration of the 50th anniversary of black students integrating its campus. Stay tuned for more on that, and for everything else that lies ahead for Duke in 2013. It's been a great year. Go Duke!

The city is located approximately 13 miles (21 km) northwest of the geographic center of South Carolina, and is the primary city of the Midlands region of the state. It lies at the confluence of the Saluda River and the Broad River, which merge at Columbia to form the Congaree River. Columbia is home to the University of South Carolina, the state's flagship university and the largest in the state, and is also the site of Fort Jackson, the largest United States Army installation for Basic Combat Training. Columbia is also located 20 miles west of the site of McEntire Joint National Guard Base, which is operated by the U.S. Air Force and is used as a training base for the 169th Fighter Wing of The South Carolina Air National Guard. Columbia is also the location of the South Carolina State House, which is the center of government for the state.

Top 10 Surprising And Awesome Things Prisoners Get To Have in Jail
Obtaining an education has long been considered an essential component in attaining personal success. As a result, many endeavor to locate those institutions of higher learning that will fulfill this purpose. Knowledge, however, is not the only discernible characteristic needed for a productive and successful career. Integrity, discipline, and honor (among others) are also laudable and desired traits that need to be developed. Yet these social qualities are seldom emphasized in traditional academic curriculum.

Meet the Smith Dairy Farm Family of North Carolina
The business of running a dairy farm is changing, and George Smith believes the next generation of farmers is poised to embrace it. “As dairy farming has progressed over the years, we rely more on technology and less on manual labor,” said Smith, a second-generation dairy farmer near Lexington, N.C. “Obviously, it still requires a good bit of manual labor, but I have been very fortunate to have a lot of good employees.” George said his father started their dairy back in 1950 with five Guernsey cows. His dad joked that he might eventually milk 10 cows, but no more than 15. At the time, Smith’s dad didn’t realize how much technology would advance to make milking easier and more efficient.
Smith eventually took over operations of his family’s farm in 1980 after graduating from North Carolina State University with a degree in animal science and technology. He said he was excited about the prospects of not only managing and operating the family farm, but expanding it as well.
“Over the years, I have had to adapt to all the changing technology and it has been amazing how it has improved the efficiencies with farming,” said Smith, who today milks about 350 cows on 800 acres of land.
