Default Chattanooga, Ga?

It seems that another war is brewing in the south. Georgia is in the process to have the state line moved further north. The way that I heard this is that when the state line was being marked in 1800, there was talk of an indian battle taking place a short distance from where the workers were. Thus they decided to move futher south and make the state line where it is today, just south of the Tennessee River. Interesting, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Ga.

May be about tourist dollars, or maybe a short sighted grab for water rights to the Tennessee River in a time of drought. Either way, it's a joke.

Sounds like another WBTS brewing. Maybe this time they'll do it in the courts.

It may be time to choke another yankee or two. I think Alabama is on our side in this one. Might get some help from Florida as well. They drank all their water and now they want ours! Too many yankees, too little water.
