Important Tips:
- Parking can be tight especially if an event is going on at the Chattanooga Theater Centre next door.
- Be patient. Someone may have your favorite spot. There are plenty of good places so choose another and come back to your favorite spot later.
- Be patient. People will be in the background of most shots. Use a shallow depth of field or wait a minute for less foot traffic.
