Things To Do In Chattanooga, Hixson, and Ooltewah!
 The Aquarium at nightBoredom is a word unheard of in Chattanooga
with the riverfront activities. Beginning with the nine-day Riverbend Festival
each June, the river Roast barbecue cook-off in May and Christmas on the River
boat parade in December. Enjoy a movie at the seven-screen Carmike Bijou. The
Tennessee Aquarium and the IMAX 3D Theater always have something new to see and
experience. Within a couple of blocks of the Aquarium is the Creative Discovery
Museum, the Lookouts baseball at Bell South Park, Chattanooga Regional History
Museum and more.
Take the free electric shuttle or a
horse-drawn carriage from the river to the City's historic Southside.
Chattanooga Riverboat Company's Southern Belle offers daily sightseeing and
dining cruises along the river.
Stroll along the Tennessee Riverwalk to the
Bluff View Art District, a hamlet of inns, eateries, galleries, museums, and
cultural activity. Enjoy the Hunter Museum of American Art, Houston Museum of
Decorative Art and the River Gallery and Sculpture Garden.
 Hunter MuseumFollow the Riverwalk over the restored
Walnut Street Bridge to beautiful Coolidge Park and enjoy the sights and sounds
of interactive play fountains or the restored carousel featuring hand-carved
animals. Catch a play at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre or sample Frazier
Avenue's growing assortment of specialty retail shops, galleries, ice cream
parlors and cozy eclectic dining experiences.
More time, we have just begun having Fun!
How about Ruby Falls, home to a 145-foot constantly flowing waterfall in an
underground cave. Then just up the road on Lookout Mountain is Rock City
Gardens featuring ancient rock formations, gardens with over 400 different
plant species and panoramic views 1,700 feet above sea level. They say you can
see seven states!
 Rock City aerial viewA visit is never complete unless you go to
the Chattanooga Choo Choo! Originally opened as Terminal Station in 1909 the
Chattanooga Choo Choo is now a 30 acre playground featuring railroad car
sleeping quarters, theme restaurants, trolley rides, a large model railroad
exhibit and beautiful Victorian fountain-gardens.
 The Chattanooga Choo ChooWarner Park Zoo with over 100 wild animals
is always entertaining.
Learn to soar with the hawks and eagles or
just watch the breath taking sport of hang gliding at Lookout Mountain Flight
Park.
If hang gliding is not your sport,
how about white water rafting on the Ocoee. Guided tours for all ages, just 30
minutes north of Chattanooga. Take a picnic and watch if you don't have the
courage to go down river.
Chattanooga is a dynamic arts community. The
Chattanooga Symphony and Opera Association, the only such combined organization
in the country, brings world-renowned performers to the restored Tivoli Theatre
on Broad Street. Other musical venues and groups include the Choral Society for
the Preservation of African American Song founded by UTC professor and composer
Roland Carter, the Chattanooga Area Friends of Folk Music, the Mountain Opry on
Walden's Ridge, and the Bessie Smith Performance Hall.
Chattanooga offers a variety of ways to
become engaged in the arts. In addition to the academic arts programs at the
local colleges and universities, introductory classes in everything from drama
to painting to contemporary dance are available. Visit www.alliedartschatt.org
for a complete calendar of events and class offerings.
Golf is another favorite pastime in
Chattanooga. Public and private courses, some of them world class, are
plentiful. Tennis anyone? The new Champions Club is a 20 court state-of-the-art
tennis facility, which opened to the public in December 2000. Competitive
tennis has a long history in Chattanooga, and first class public and private
tennis venues are found across the city.
 Rainbow Lake, Signal Mountain Recreate 2008, a study of recreational needs
and facilities in the area is responsible for new recreation centers that offer
swimming pools, tennis courts, and baseball and softball fields.
Take me out to a ballgame! Last season more
than 290,000 fans watched the Lookouts compete at BellSouth Park. The
Chattanooga Lookouts of the Class AA Southern League played 70 home games last
year. Peanuts anyone?
The only way anyone will appreciate what
Chattanooga has to offer is to "come on down". Experience for yourself the
southern hospitality we offer in the beautiful city of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Real Estate Contracts >Deadlines
Both buyer and seller should be aware of all of the deadlines in their purchase agreement. Each contract is different, but there are usually time limits covering the structural contingency, the financing application, the loan commitment, and the closing.
If you are a careless buyer, you could lose your right to ask a seller to pay for needed repairs. There may be a limit on the time the seller has to respond to the buyer's request to complete repairs that are not required by the contract. Failure to apply for your mortgage on time may place your deposit at risk if the loan is denied. In many cases, the agreement can be declared null and void by the seller if financing is not approved within the time frame set forth in the contract. A delayed closing can cost the sellers money, and they may ask the buyer to reimburse these expenses.
Work closely with your real estate agent to ensure that all of your transaction deadlines are met.
