WHAT'S DOING IN CHATTANOOGA
-------------------------------------------------------------------- CAROLYN MITCHELL is a reporter for The Chattanooga Times. By CAROLYN MITCHELL SCENIC CENTER - Chattanooga, a city of 170,000 on the Tennessee-Georgia border, lies in a valley surrounded by mountains and ridges. Its scenery is notable, especially the vista from Lookout Mountain, at the southern tip of the town, which continues to impress visitors much as it did a young missionary who stopped here in 1818. ''The summit of Lookout Mountain overlooks the whole country,'' the minister observed in a journal entry the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce would be hard put to embellish. ''And to those who can be delighted with the view of an interminable forest, penetrated by the windings of a bold river, interspersed with hundreds of verdant prairies and broken by many ridges and mountains, furnishes ... a landscape which yields to few others in extent, variety or beauty.''
