<\/div>\n
I finally got around to something I have been meaning to do for our fellow Soldersmoke and Gadgeteer blog friends. As soon as we moved to <\/span>Tennessee<\/span> last summer I knew I had to do it.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I had to go to town (<\/span>Chattanooga<\/span>) today to the <\/span>Honda dealership<\/span> to get a warranty repair done on my wife’s car. The Wrigley plant that manufactures all our Altoids is right across the highway from the car dealership!! So guess what I did after getting the car fixed?? I got pictures of the plant for your blog.<\/span><\/div>\n
Now they were with my <\/span>iphone<\/span> camera so they weren’t the clearest, and I made sure that no one was behind me when I snapped them after stopping for a quick shot.<\/span><\/div>\n
In the one marked Altoids Sign, you can see the tin on the sign under the Y in <\/span><\/span>Wrigley<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For anyone who wants to find this on <\/span><\/span>Google Earth<\/span>, it is at the corner of Jersey Pike and Shallowford Road in <\/span><\/span>Chattanooga Tennessee<\/span>, near the intersection with the TN 153 freeway.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Part of the plant has a for sale sign on it, mainly an unused huge loading dock building that fronts to Shallowford Rd. The building next to Wrigley’s is Sathers Candy, and it appears that Chattanooga must be known for food as both <\/span>Little Debbies<\/span> and Moon Pies are made in metro Chattanooga too.<\/span><\/div>\n
