I thought so. I was an engineer on the construction of the Moccasin Bend WWTP that HS designed. My daughter (now 35) was born in Eastridge. We enjoyed Chattanooga, especially Ankar's steak in a sack (grin).

What's a "steak in a sack"? I'm almost scared to ask after previously inquiring the definition of "stump trained". 😉

It's kinda like a Philly cheese steak except it's in Pita bread, and it has real cheese rather than the plastic stuff they use in Philly.

Broke, not trained.
Jeez, Louise. You buy 'em books 'n' buy 'em books 'n' they eat the pages.

Listen up you old fart, it's a matter of semantics, and thank God I prefer female Homo sapiens as to the alternative y'all seem to be obsessed with. 😉

And, since you are the self appointed grammar specialist, have you noticed the atrocious grammar and spelling on some of the news sites? :scream:

Have a great weekend, and remember just because I am a month or two older than you is no reason to insinuate I eat pages, I eat the covers only. (with Louisiana Hot Sauce)

I used to always get control from him around Tampa Lutz Odessa area. That would of been around mid 90's -2000. That's one of the reason I moved up here to God's country (Chattanooga area). I got tired of watching Odessa and Lutz turn into a big subdivision.

Francis Hurt is the PLS I knew. Can't remember his predecessor

More often than not, I'll reminisce when driving through a spot I had surveyed prior. Recalling how well these sign bridges fit, finding crucial evidence way back in the woods where a highway was planned 66 years ago, recalling how I redesigned all four ramps at an interchange per the request of my boss back in 1995 to save $$$ on enclosed drainage... there is just something very satisfying about it.
