    The frogs on the Ellis Restaurant sign represented the fact they used to sell frog legs there, there were 5 frogs originally jumping over the main sign .2 were restored a few years ago with plans to reopen the iconic building . Quite a history about it all .

      You should see all that I've won. It's part luck, part skill. I suck at most things in life, but I'm actually decent at claw machines.

    What have we learned? Rock City should be on everyone's bucket list and fairy tales are very disturbing when you think about them as adults. Congrats on the stuffed dog, I've never mastered the claw machine.

    I have a good friend from high school that lives in Chattanooga now. I went down there to visit her earlier this year. While I stayed with her, we went to the train station in this video, looked around it, and went ice skating I that ice rink for an event MomoCon was holding to advertise the convention they have in Atlanta around memorial day weekend each year. There were so many Yuri on Ice cosplayers there.

Maybe the next time you show us this, you can go slow enough for us to read each one of the selections. ETA: I just noticed that to the right of the one you chose there are PAINTINGS of birds! I had to watch that section several times to be able to read that. To the left are farm animals. I also saw a "Bud & Bug" selection and earrings. There were others I couldn't make out. Do show us all selections next time, even if you don't buy anything!
