👋 Until Next Week...
Every week I'm reminded that Chattanooga's greatest asset isn't our mountains, trails, restaurants, or river.
It's our people.
The volunteers, veterans, teachers, neighbors, business owners, and everyday folks quietly making this community better.
Thanks for spending a few minutes of your week with me.
Have a great week, Chattanooga.
