re: Chattanooga, TN...Those who know.....Good place to move to or not good?

I'll highlight a little more from what I said in the other thread.

High speed internet: The Gig City (LINK /)

Downtown and the Northshore area has been absolutely booming. Downtown has always been big, but Northshore took off while I was in middle/high school. Now, the Southside/Main St. area is experiencing a revitalization effort.

Like I said, there are new restaurants, bars, and attractions every time I return home. They are all unique, and some are a little "hipsterish", but not too bad.

You have tons of outdoor options at your fingertips. It has been voted the #1 climbing city in America, and within the top 3 outdoor city by different magazines. My family has a cabin outside the city on the Hiwassee River, which is a whitewater river with trophy trout fishing.

It's centrally located. You are 2 hours from: ATL, Nashville, Birmingham, and Knoxville.

It has a relatively low cost of living.

You can find crowded suburban neighborhoods, or you can find nice houses tucked away in the woods. Our house is surround by woods on three sides, yet we are only 10 minutes from being Downtown.

I will say this. The public schools aren't that great in Chattanooga. I went to a small private school, and most people I know did as well. There are a few that are pretty good, but for the most part everyone went to private schools. And there are lots of options for private schools.

Just ask any questions you wanna know. As you can tell. I really do love Chattanooga. A lot of people never wanted to return home or didn't wanna be stuck where they were raised. It's opposite with me. It's my home and I wanna settle down there. I love it.
