After the announcement of Chattanooga’s own Walnut Street walking bridge as one of the top public places in America, a representative from the shunned neighboring Delta Queen Riverboat announced plans to relocate the boat atop the popular tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

The Delta Queen has made news in recent months by being a target of Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke and his calling for the boat to be sunk to the bottom of the Tennessee River, where he would subsequently scuba dive to the depths of the river and urinate upon it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re excited of the new possibilities this move will bring,\u201d said Kathryn Davis, a spokeswoman for the Walnut Street Bridge. \u201cLooking forward to Wine over boat over water in 2014!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
