Title: The Cummings highway Tn is falling down the mountain.
Post by: bicyclehazard on November 21, 2025, 08:38:10 AM
The highway runs from downtown Chatannogs to Jasper along interstate 24. Cracks have formed 6 feet from the edge of the pavement and the road has subsided a bit. There will be a catastrophic failure with a loss of life. Stay off the road and use the interstate from Chattanooga to Tiftonia. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=28769

No, that's the one from Chattanooga.  He's talking about the one from Chatannogs.  I can understand your confusion, though.

So, if I got this right...the highway near Chatannogs is cumming down the mountain?

Chattanogs...made with fresh chats, or cats? I always forget.

Correct.  I'm scared to find out what that has to do with the Historical Marker Database, though.  That's one commemorative plaque I don't want to learn about.

Sounds like one hell of a bicycle hazard.  Glad our man is on the scene making the Chatannogs government do an about face policy shift (201 governments by my count).

Chatannogs don't exist. It's Chattanooga.

Chatannogs don't exist. It's Chattanooga. It would have been all over the news and it isn't. Sounds made up.

Chattannooga don't exist. It's Chatannogs.

Don't be silly everyone is familiar with the city of Chatannogs.  Chattanooga on the other hand sounds made up and quite false.

We call this cliff edging.

Sometimes cliff edging leads to catastrophic failure.  Sometimes people die when cliff edging when a load falls down the mountain.

Something about riding six white horses, then someone lost their poor meatball when they sneezed.

We're coming up on our 20th wedding anniversary, and I just learned a few days ago that the spaghetti version of that song is the only one my wife has ever heard.

I don't want you to ruin one of my favorite cheap eats so there will be no follow-up questions.

I was about to say, where the hell is Chatannogs? Google's returned nothing when I searched it, and asked if I meant Chattanooga.

Besides, the mountain song would be a better fit for this setting, since it's near the Great Smokies.

So what everyone is saying is if I-24 is backed up, stay on it instead of getting off at Exit 174 to get to downtown in case the road caves in?

No, we are talking about Chatannogs which happens to be nowhere near I-24.

I like how you've decided to be "ironic".  Take the extra 's in Aldi's and Jewel's, and add it to all sorts of other things too.

I bought it on Amazon's.
I'll meet you at the QuikTrip's.
I always hate going to the DMV's.
I always get turned around in the hospital's.

The most fitting song would be that classic song about Chatannogs, "The Chatannogs Chog-Chog".

Especially when the load falls down the mountain much earlier than expected.

And I am sure you've been through Shrevesport, LA and Starksville, MS in your travels. I am sure there are many other colloquial "S" towns.
