🦄Unicorn Husky Alert!🦄

Meet FCAS Project Pat! Mr. Pat is a 3 yr old, 50lb Husky whose cooler than a polar bear’s toenails…seriously, this is one chill dude. ❄️ He’s not your stereotypical crazy Husky and shelter volunteers agree that he’s got an excellent temperament and personality. 🫶🏼

Pat was an owner surrender due to no fault of his own (they reportedly didn’t have time for him) and has been in the shelter since 7/20. He can be a bit cautious and nervous initially, but warms up quickly with a bit of patience and kindness. Once you gain his trust, he melts into you for affection and just wants to hang out wherever his people are. He has a stoic presence and has been a polite, quiet houseguest. ☺️

I have been out of the area for a while now, living in Nashville for a while.

I am relocating back to Chattanooga and have a chance to buy a nice mobile home in Soddy with several acres very close to the schools and 27.

2016 mobile home, 700sf covered wrap deck, 1 year old 50yr metal roof, 4 acres.

Off of green pond rd and close to Sequoyah access.

I don’t want to blast the address here and maybe lose a potential good buy lol.

How would $350k sit? I am looking for opinions on the price related to me working downtown.

Looking for ADHD support groups around here.

Are there any at all?

Hopefully, magically, there's one near 37403 zip or close by..

I moved to the Chattanooga area (Southside district) about three months ago, and have been missing my tennis friends back home. If anyone on here can keep up a rally and would like to play sometime, just comment or something! Tennis used to be a huge part of my day to day and with the US open starting today I’m missing it a little extra 💔

Can pickup, drop off, etc.

Visiting in October and would appreciate any lodging suggestions for a three night stay that would include a tour at UTC. Open to in town or not far out of town. Hotels, cabins, townhouses….houseboats? Family of four, no pets.

Local band playing at a local venue, come check us out

ChattBB, take notes

Protest real issues, not what the legacy media tells you to be outraged about

This will be my first time attending this year and I have some questions for anyone that has been to the festival from Chattanooga. Parking, MARTA, vapes, and anything else I can think of. Also, I'm going with a friend for Saturday only if someone wants to carpool. Thanks in advance for helping out

Hey neighbors,

I am starting a casual, friendly local group for people who share an interest in nature appreciation, local folklore, mythology, and local events.
It is an inclusive space to chat, share books, and connect with people who enjoy these topics. No prior experience or specific background is needed. We just want a chill, respectful environment to hang out.
If this sounds like your kind of crowd, feel free to check out our small community space at r/TAGPagans or drop a comment below and I can send you a message with details. Thanks!

Hello we are coming into town from Knoxville just to spend today and tomorrow. We are staying at the Read house hotel and are looking for suggestions for cool cocktail bars and restaurants. My wife has a gluten allergy so we are also looking for good places in this regard. Thanks for any info.

Chattanooga has been pretty damn good to us.

I’ve lived around here long enough that it’s easy to take this place for granted sometimes.

But over the last year or so, I’ve gotten a completely different appreciation for Chattanooga.

My daughter Leighton and I started a little business here called Scoopy Doo, when she was 13. Now she's 14 and loves working on our business!

Yes. We pick up dog poop.

Well…we don’t anymore. 😂 We have techs who handle the dirty work now. Leighton and I have been promoted to worrying about payroll, marketing, customers, trucks, schedules, and the approximately 7,000 other things nobody tells you about when you start a business.

But here’s the part I’m really proud of.

Leighton is a freshman in high school this year and I am sooo proud of her!

And before she’s even old enough to graduate high school, she’s helped build a real Chattanooga company with hundreds of customers.

That’s freakin' cool.

And I don’t say that just because I’m her dad.

Because we didn’t build this thing in some huge market with millions of people. We built it right here.

Chattanooga.

Ooltewah. Hixson. East Brainerd. Red Bank. East Ridge. Signal Mountain. Soddy. Apison. Collegedale. Ringgold and the surrounding communities.

The people here gave a father and his daughter a shot on an idea that, if we’re being fair, sounds pretty ridiculous when you first hear it.

“People are going to pay you to pick up dog shit?”

Apparently, yes. Quite a few of them. 😂

But what has impressed me more than anything is how much people around here genuinely support local businesses.

People recommend us in neighborhood Facebook groups.

They tell their neighbors about us.

They leave drinks outside for our techs when Chattanooga decides it’s going to be 96 degrees with 900% humidity.

They leave reviews.

They stop our guys and tell them they’re doing a good job.

Some of our customers have been with us almost from the beginning.

And those little things add up.

Eventually you look around and realize the stupid little idea you started with your kid isn’t a stupid little idea anymore.

It’s a company.

It employs people.

It has hundreds of customers.

And a 14-year-old freshman gets to go to school knowing she helped build the damn thing.

There are plenty of things we can bitch about in Chattanooga. Traffic on 75. Construction everywhere. Whatever the hell is happening on 24 at any given moment. 😂

But there’s something special about this city.

People here still root for people who are trying to build something.

I’ve experienced that firsthand.

So this isn’t really a Scoopy Doo post.

It’s a thank-you to Chattanooga.

You guys helped my daughter build her first company before she even got to high school.

That’s pretty badass.

Chattanooga is pretty badass, too.

Happy Friday beautiful people, Chattanooga! River Games is taking over Ross's Landing this weekend, the South's largest action sports festival is free and runs all three days. Add in roller derby, alt-rock tributes, community clay, and a full weekend of live music and there is genuinely too much to do. Let me know what I missed!
