Is Chattanooga artsy? While most everyone is familiar with the (infamous) Blue Rhino in Coolidge Park, the truth is that public art is sprinkled liberally all around downtown. Murals adorn everything from entire building-sides to otherwise humdrum alleys, and even parking lots. Next time you are out and about, see how many of these sculptures and murals you can find!
