Some people make their dogs wear embarrassing sweaters or t-shirts; I'm into bandanas. Here is one of Tucker's newest ones with an Elvis Presley motif. I buy them off of Etsy.com. This particular one is from: www.etsy.com/shop/RooseveltKid .

Rock City is a tourist attraction on Lookout Mountain in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. Opened in May 1932, the attraction gained prominence after owners Garnet and Frieda Carter hired Clark Byers in 1935 to paint "See Rock City" barn advertisements throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States; Byers painted over 900 barn roofs and walls, in nineteen states, by 1969.
Since its earliest days, Rock City has claimed that it is possible to see seven states from a particular spot (Lover's Leap) in Rock City; a scientist at the University of Tennessee, when asked to prove the issue in 2007, pointed out that the claim refers to seeing mountains and other high points in many of these other states, adding that the claim was made long before the air pollution associated with the proliferation of automobiles and coal-fired power plants, and summed up with "I never thought it significant."

Chattanooga is a city located in Hamilton County, southeastern Tennessee, along the Tennessee River bordering Georgia. With an estimated population of 179,139 in 2017, it is the fourth-largest city in Tennessee and one of the two principal cities of East Tennessee, along with Knoxville. Served by multiple railroads and Interstate highways, Chattanooga is a transit hub. Chattanooga lies 118 miles (190 km) northwest of Atlanta, Georgia, 112 miles (180 km) southwest of Knoxville, Tennessee, 134 miles (216 km) southeast of Nashville, Tennessee, 102 miles (164 km) east-northeast of Huntsville, Alabama, and 147 miles (237 km) northeast of Birmingham, Alabama.
The city, with a downtown elevation of approximately 680 feet (210 m), lies at the transition between the ridge-and-valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. Surrounded by mountains and ridges, the official nickname for Chattanooga is "Scenic City", reinforced by the city's reputation for outdoor activities. Unofficial nicknames include "River City", "Chatt", "Nooga", "Chattown", and "Gig City", referencing Chattanooga's claims that it has the fastest internet service in the Western Hemisphere.
Chattanooga is internationally known for the 1941 song "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by Glenn Miller and his orchestra. Chattanooga is home to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and Chattanooga State Community College.
The city has its own typeface, Chatype, which was launched in August 2012. According to the Nooga.com website, this marks the first time that an American city has its own custom-made typeface and also the first time a crowd-funded custom-made typeface has been used for any municipality in the world.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - It's rock walls like this one that make Vedauwoo a popular spot for climbing.
From kansastravel.org:
"Minneapolis, Kansas - Rock City is a tiny park which contains about 200 huge Dakota sandstone concretions. The spheres are up to 27 feet in diameter and you are encouraged to climb on them and do pretty much whatever you want. Rock City claims that there is no place else in the world with so many huge concretions.
Rock City is 3 1/2 miles south of Minneapolis off Highway 106"

I just happened to be hanging out in Cannes with my band today... (Who says crap like this - I love my life!) ...and found this awesome graffiti wall. As we were all dressed appropriately grungy, we totally took full advantage of it! Everything's available light with only slight adjustment in Aperture.
la de rock era la mas simple me dijieron...pero si el rock debe ir encontra de la corriente, no debia ser de la de criar conejitos, sino cazarlos.

Monument with the portrait of Charles Bosanquet 1850
"to the memory of Charles Bosanquet of Hamptead in the county of Middlesex, and of Rock in the county of Northumberland, esquire, second son of Samuel Bosanquet of Forest House in the county of Essex, esquire, and of Eleanor his wife daughter of Henry Lannoy Hunter of Beechill in the county of Berks, esquire.
Born July 23rd 1769
Married in 1796 Charlotte Ann Holford daughter of Peter Holford of Westonbirt in the county of Gloucester, esquire. Her monument is in this church
He was many years governor of the South Sea Company. As governor of the Canada Land Company he was instrumental in bringing into cultivation vast tracts of land in Canada West. He was yet more extensively known as colonel of the Light Horse Volunteers of London and Westminster. After the peace of 1816 he for some years fulfilled the duties of a commissioner of military enquiry. He also for a considerable space of time filled the chair of the Exchequer Loan Commission
These various occupations did not cause him to neglect his landed estate at Rock, nor to forget the interests temporal and spiritual of those who dwelt upon it.
He completed the division of the estate into farms. He restored the church which he found in a ruinous state;
Rebuilt the village and repaired and added to the old mansion which having been destroyed by fire, had lain in ruins for above 70 years. Finally he became resident at Rock with his family, and having survived his wife by a space of eleven years, he departed this life on the 20th of June 1850 aged 81 years
Thy testimonies were his delight and his counsellors"

As the inscription says Charles in 1806 restored the church which by that time was unfit for worship. A timber gallery was constructed in 1824 over the west door to provide a pew for his large family and household in the Hall.
After his death, his son Rev. Robert William Bosanquet in 1855 decided that further improvements should be carried out, employing architect Anthony Salvin, who was living mainly at Alnwick to supervise the Duke of Northumberland's alterations at Alnwick Castle. This involved the building of the semi-circular apse at the east end of the chancel, the rebuilding of the vestry, and the restoration of the old Norman and Early English windows, In 1866 he added a north aisle

The Bosanquet family were of Huguenot origin. The family fled to England from Lunel, Montpellier, France, in 1685 following the revocation of the edict of Nantes.
The first settler in England, David Bosanquet, became a banker and merchant, enabling the family to settle at Forest House, Essex.
David's grandson, Samuel Bosanquet (1744-1806), Governor of the Bank of England, purchased Dingestow in 1801.
Samuel's sons, Samuel (1768-1843), made Dingestow his chief seat and was sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1841 & Charles (of this monument)
- Church of St Philip & St James, Rock Northumberland
at Heysham head, Lancashire
On the headland about 10m above St Peter's church there are two sets of rock-cut tombs or graves. They probably date from the 10th century. Each grave is cut out of the sandstone.
A set of six of these, two straight-sided and four body-shaped all with socket holes at the top where a wooden cross would have been placed. Two more rock-cut graves can be seen close by. The graves are often filled with rain water.
In 1970 a cemetery to the S of this site was excavated and 85 sets of bones were found and dated to the 10th-11th century. The rock cut graves are grade 1 listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
