Homage to my hometown by LIFE magazine

I stumbled upon this archive of LIFE magazine photos today, and so typed in my lovely hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee. And what did I find?

Of the four pages of images, one of them consisted entirely of photos of George Wallace (from his inglorious presidential campaign days) in my fair city.

If that doesn't help explain some of the hurdles I had to jump through in my youth, I don't know what does.
