New ideas for city? Reader has a few

Here are some positive suggestions for our community:

* Statue #1: (Sometimes, I can change my mind.) Confederate Gen. A.P. Stewart could be relocated to Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center. He was responsible for creating the park.

* Statue #2: The John Ross statue at the courthouse could be relocated to Ross’ Landing. The county courthouse should have no statues or memorials.

* Statue #3: The Ed Johnson Memorial is not edifying to his memory. Its location right across from where people eat ice cream? Better location: Bessie Smith Cultural Center.
