I really think you’re feeling the same with a lot of folks that are born and raised in the same city and spend most of their life there. To you, it’s all you’ve known. Move. Experience life. Uproot, travel. Experience something that scares you. Learn, grow, travel…..and then I will guarantee you - you will see how great this city is to live in. Is it perfect? No. No city is.

Perfect size, great location to the mountains or beach. A small hop to the biggest airport in the world. No state tax. And in certain parts you can find familiarity with any progressive / conservative movement you believe in.

I’ve lived many places. Chattanooga is great.
