Our third stop is right across the Tennessee River on Chattanooga’s NorthShore. Littered with boutiques, locally owned restaurants and a pair of shoreline parks (Coolidge & Renaissance) the NorthShore is a gem. Coolidge Park plays host to TONS of fun, free entertainment during the summer months. Translation: we spend lots of time there. Moored on the park’s shore sits the Delta Queen. The Delta Queen was the last fully operational, overnight passenger steamboat in the country. Now, it serves as a boutique hotel AND a perfect spot for Summer Fashion Week photos.
The boat itself is pretty cool with tons of rich woodwork inside, the cutest little rooms (berths?), and a steam whistle…
that I didn’t REALLY play.
But the best part, in my opinion, is the view from the ship’s deck. It’s smack dab between the recently renovated Market Street Bridge (which you can drive across) and the Walnut Street bridge. The Walnut Street Bridge (it’s the one below) is one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world. And is an absolute MUST photograph if you’re visiting us in Chattanooga – evidenced by this & this & I think you get the point.
