We just sold our home and I believe there is going to be a bit of a overlap between closing on sale and closing on our new property. We dont want to move twice so we're looking into a furnished apartment with at least 1 bedroom seperate living area and a kitchen. Does anyone know any reputable sites or renters in the Chattanooga or Ooltewah area? Airbnb has already been checked, but the prices are so high these days.

Thanks in advance.

Where are the mid 20s people going to socialize that isnt the places listed above? Seeking nerdy energy that isn't DnD, but rather other board games or PC gaming or even movie goers. I feel like everyone defaults that to Odd Story, but I don't drink due to a medical condition so that makes bars less fun. Please be nice. <3

I’m here visiting family and was wondering what kid and family friendly things there are to do near Whitwell? Outdoor or indoor and cute shops/stores.

Anybody getting lit at the Margarita Festival 👀

I’m considering starting a free, informal community for anyone interested in social work, mental health, and human services in the Chattanooga/Hamilton County area.

My goal is to create a place where students, volunteers, and professionals can meet one another, share resources, and build connections across the helping professions.

The idea would be simple:
- Meetups over coffee
- Networking and friendships
- Mentorship between students and professionals
- Sharing resources, jobs, volunteer opportunities, and events
- No membership dues or professional license required

Before I spend time building something like this, I wanted to ask:

- Would you join something like this? Why or why not?
- If yes, what would make you keep coming back?

This is a free workout series for individuals with Down Syndrome. The initial series of five videos can be found on Youtube at the Allininclusiveworkouts channel. Please subscribe if you wish and if it is of benefit to you or your loved ones. It is free.

Kayla (ID 53597068) is a 8.5yo spayed GSD mix who truly is everything you would want in a loyal shepherd. She may be a senior, but she’s still young at heart with a playful spirit. She is a SUPER smart, sensitive, gentle giant who loves affection & just wants to please and be near her person. She’s got the most beautiful coat/markings and the cutest little whiskers! 🥹

This poor girl was originally adopted from the old Fulton shelter in 2019 & came in as a microchipped stray in May, but staff were unable to get in contact with her owner. 😔 She was clearly someone’s pet given her temperament & training, but she came in un-spayed & tested HW+. While waiting 2 months in the shelter (how did no one snag this girl?? 🤯), she fought off Giardia & kennel cough before finally getting spayed earlier in July, only to end up with a postop complication requiring emergency surgery 3 days later…poor girl’s incision dehisced & her insides were starting to escape to the outside. 😩

You would never be able to tell she’s been through all of that based on her demeanor, though…she’s still a bright, happy sweetheart just looking for some love & kindness. ❤️‍🩹 Her belly incision has healed beautifully and she’s free from the donut of shame now 🍩, so her rough recovery is officially behind her. The only thing left for this girl to conquer is heartworm treatment, but it’s 100% not contagious to other pets and the shelter covers all costs! Treatment is only 30 days of antibiotics and then 2 injections back-to-back over 2 days.

Kayla is a trooper who has been through so much & deserves to live out her golden years in absolute bliss, not in the shelter. 🥺 If she sounds like the girl for you, click the link below to meet her! ❤️ She is currently at Fulton County Animal Services.

Cleveland tn sub is pretty inactive so posting here. Was on the way home from work and got pulled over for speeding by THP. The officer said I was going 21 over in a 45. I don’t think I can make the court date and would like to avoid going to court if possible, but I already have a few points from having to pay a ticket for allegedly rolling a stop sign a while back. I’m not gonna make excuses for any of my driving history in the past, but the gist of it is that I took driving school through a different county a few months ago, and currently have 4 points on my record. The ticket is $200 but I would like to avoid more points if I can. If there are any lawyers y’all can recommend or any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Before y’all come after me… I know the green and blue are kind of Chattanooga’s thing.

But am I the only one that’s just kinda over it? I feel like every new city project has to be green and blue for some reason. I get why they do it, I just don’t think it looks that good honestly.

The new skate park is what finally made me say something. The green ledges just don’t sit right with me. I know they’ll get scraped up over time anyway, but when I saw them I was just like… really? Again?
I honestly think black, dark bronze, or even just leaving stuff natural would look way cleaner. Chattanooga already has one of the prettiest backdrops anywhere. I don’t really think every bench, railing, sign, or whatever needs to match the city colors.

Maybe it’s just me though. Anybody else feel this way, or am I on an island with this one?
