      Traveling to Atlanta as a child to visit my grandmother and Pawpaw, enjoyed seeing the “See Rock City” and Ruby Falls signs along the way. Visited those locations on Lookout Mt. as a child and should take our grandkids there, too.

      I’m curious what you mean by spooky government history. 🙂 I’m not sure, but aren’t there parts of this area that are natural granite…there is something about that, I feel. It somehow acts as a communication enhancement, beacon, or enhances the natural energies there I think…not facts, just my opinion

Its my piece of heaven on earth with deer 🦌, foxes, turkeys, bobcats & lots of forest critters. Thanks for this video, although I knew most of the info. I did learn a few things I had no idea about. So interesting about miniature golf ⛳ not actually seeing the 7 states from Rock City & I definitely did not know about the ufo sitings. 👽🛸I'm so glad I found your channel ❤✌😊

    A quick correction, from a resident, there is still one hotel standing on Lookout Mountain from the era you mentioned. Paul Carter sold the “castle in the clouds” to investors of a university that is now covenant college. In the last 5 years that portion of the campus, once the hotel, has been restored to its original architecture. It houses students in what were once hotel rooms, as well as holding the dining hall or “great hall.” Over the last 60 years the inside of the lobby and dining area have gone largely unchanged. Very cool video though!

    • @BillMarion
      @BillMarion  Před 5 lety

      Lived in the Tennessee Valley for many years! Love Chattanooga! "Still standing" is inaccurate. I know what I was trying to say (so says everyone lol) but I guess I got it wrong. But honestly, I think my biggest mistake was not doing enough investigation to learn that Covenant was restoring "castle in the clouds." Good for Covenant! I bet it looks amazing. Covenant's Campus is beautiful. I have a few friends who graduated from Covenant. Thank you so very much for watching, and thank you for the information. Correction received!

    My "Holder" family is from within this area of Lookout Mountain. My grandfather was born 1902 in Ooltewah / Cleveland, while most of his other 13 siblings were born in Cleveland or Birchwood. However, most of grandfather'sthe siblins' childrens are in Chattanooga / Hixson.
    My aunt, born in Birchwood - 1925, was my grandfather's first born child, has recently passed away Sept 2021 at age 95. She is buried at Chattanooga National Cemetery which was a commemoration of the Battles of Chattanooga, Nov. 23-27, 1863.
    What I did not know was that this cemetery has a round hill rising with a uniform slope to a height of 100 feet; it faced Missionary Ridge on one side and Lookout Mountain on the other. Gen. Grant established his headquarters on the summit of the hill during the early phase of the four-day battle for Lookout Mountain.
    I have a cousin that did research of our Holder family and learned that every Holder within Chattanooga are related to us. Matter of fact, every Holder listed as Confedeate soldiers are related to us. Ive been to Lookout Mountain many times and find it so beautiful there.

      Bryce, it was built as a luxury hotel and, on the QT. a gambling casino. They had a professional staff of house gamblers back in the 1950s. To keep the "family" atmosphere going, up in the top of the tower was a display of characters from Rock City manning a moonshine still. I saw it when I was about 5 years old and attending a conference there with my family. There was also a lovely outdoor dance floor with band shell below the main building and they had erected a "Paper Moon" over the dance floor. It was a very elegant place and only the wealthy vacationed there. The golf course was a little bit of distance from the hotel itself. Not sure of the build date, though. I was in Chattanooga from birth in 1945 until 1984, but my parents and grandparents had been there all their lives.
