Last Friday night was near-perfect weather with clear, blue skies and temperatures at a comfortable, nonhumid heat for this time of year. So, I decided, “What a perfect evening for a leisurely stroll in downtown Chattanooga!” I could get some much-needed exercise, and the Riverfront is so picturesque and relaxing during this time of year. For some reason, however, I was having a hard time finding somewhere to park—and parking prices were being unusually gouged—and mobs of people were also heading to the Riverfront area, who, I guessed, must have had the same idea I did.
