I like Chattanooga....have been there several times! Great post....
Thanks for commenting. I agree with you about Chattanooga. Let me know next time you are here.
Chattanooga is the place to be - affordable housing is tough here - people who work here have a hard time qualifying for a loan - so many second home buyers can pay cash, it keeps the prices up, even in this market.
Virginia,
We call Chattanooga the Scenic City. I really love though to look at the scenes you always show in Nevada. Gorgeous.
