  • Chattanooga Travel Guide Chattanooga Is the Fourth-Largest City In
    Chattanooga Travel Guide by newsdesk Chattanooga is the fourth-largest city in Tennessee (after Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville), and the seat of Hamilton County, in the United States of America. It is located in southeast Tennessee on Chickamauga and Nickajack Lake, which are both part of the Tennessee River, near the border of Georgia, and at the junction of three interstate highways, I-24, I-75, and I-59. The city, at elevation 685 feet, lies at the transition between the ridge-and-valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau, is surrounded by ridges. Located on the Tennessee River and situated in Hamilton County, Chattanooga is a true tourist treat. It is an ideal place to enjoy boating, fishing and other water sport activities. The name "Chattanooga" comes from the Creek Indian word for "rock coming to a point." This refers to Lookout Mountain which begins in Chattanooga and stretches 88 miles through Alabama and Georgia. Chattanooga has traditionally touted its tourist attractions, including the Tennessee Aquarium (a freshwater and, as of May 2005, a saltwater aquarium), caverns, and heavy development along and across the Tennessee River. In the downtown area are the Creative Discovery Museum (a hands-on children's museum dedicated to science, art, and music), an IMAX 3D Theatre, and the newly expanded Hunter Museum of American Art. The red-and-black painted "See Rock City" barns along highways in the Southeast are remnants of a now classic Americana tourism campaign to attract visitors to the Rock City tourist attraction in nearby Lookout Mountain, Georgia.

  • Unpacking the Louisiana Ballad Tradition: Cajun and Creole Songs of Love, Loss and Drink on the West Texas Stage Stacey Jocoy Mo
    Unpacking the Louisiana Ballad Tradition: Cajun and Creole Songs of Love, Loss and Drink on the West Texas Stage Stacey Jocoy Modern Cajun music, Creole music, and Zydeco are often grouped together at festivals and dance halls throughout Louisiana and around the world. These music styles are considered distinct by scholars and fans, yet they are all the result of related generations of Creolization; the product of the variegated host of older localized styles created and impacted by patterns of immigration beginning in the eighteenth century. General audiences, from outside the Southwestern Louisiana area, experience this music as “traditional”: seemingly a closed style, particular to the people from that region and social culture. This perception, which has been both intentionally and unintentionally fostered over generations, has worked in a culturally exclusive fashion, creating stereotypes and socio-cultural barriers to understanding. These barriers can be mitigated, however, through performative study of the music, especially that of one of its integral genres, the ballad. Although ballads are not the first genre that most listeners associate with this region, as dance music by and large reigns supreme, songs with stories primarily of love, loss, and ameliorative drink form a notable backbone throughout this repertoire. Our Cajun Ensemble, part of the World Music Ensemble at Texas Tech University, is also part of the Texas Tech Vernacular Music Center, the mission of which is: “research, teaching, and advocacy.”1 As such, we study the music of the southern Louisiana regions, effectively deconstructing it with students and audiences to better illustrate the richness of its origins.

I am an aspiring “political economist.” But, last spring, I wandered over to the Politics and Government Department at the University of Puget Sound and picked up Colin Woodard’s definitive work American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America. I became captivated by the book, and I have since read and re-read American Nations and numerous journal and newspaper articles that play on Woodard’s central argument—that America has never been one nation, but eleven distinct nations, each with its own set of political institutions and cultural values.
