Chattanooga will have a good opportunity to do a lot with Harmon Killebrew promotions, I would imagine. I was at a function with Killer a few years ago and he was talking about his Chattanooga playing days.

True. Though Chattanooga can get pretty chilly at night (in the mountains).

What does the nickname Lookouts mean? Is it referring to Confederates?

I just don't want the Twins aligning with the Confederacy.

But it was indeed a site for both the Civil War and the Revolutionary War. It's really an awesome place.

But it was indeed a site for both the Civil War and the Revolutionary War. It's really an awesome place. I googled the question why: The Indians called Lookout Mountain “Chatanuga Mountain”. This name is of Muskegon (Creek) origin and means “rock coming to an end”. Another source has Chatanuga translated as "mountains looking at each other". White men referred to the mountain as the Look Out for its spectacular view and because it served as a warning to rivermen to “look out” for dangerous sucks and swirls just beyond and for highway men who preyed on rivermen who stopped to avoid having to run the sucks at night .

I'm pretty sure you can see 7 states from Lookout Mountain.

[:D] Seriously, if you guys do get a chance to come down at some point, would love to get together. Chattanooga is one of the coolest "small cities" in the country. Incredibly clean and lots of great outdoors things to do. I don't get there nearly often enough. I will now.
