Well, we aren't as big as Chattanooga but there are two shopping areas..the avenues are really nice. If you want history you could always do the Stones River National Battlefield and for younger kids we have a discovery musem. We don't have a thriving downtown area or a big fish tank. There is plenty to do, we have 3 starbucks within a mile of each other. Now, if you want to come to place with nothing to do, come visit Jefferson City, TN.
