Someone whos done a bit of travelling actually told me that C'nooga was the most scenically beautiful place they have been. And apparently the winters are even milder than those in Knoxville.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 7:54 pm Chattanooga has great attractions for the family and for tourists (Lookout Mountain and a pretty nice freshwater aquarium in downtown), is conveniently situated between Atlanta and Nashville, and has plenty of affordable housing.
However, there are some high crime neighborhoods in the city, so do plenty of research if you consider moving there!
Most cities will have rough neighborhoods. I have heard that C'nooga has some pretty bad spots. But I doubt its even close to Memphis, which has a LOT of truly awful areas. Knoxville has bad areas as well, but I think they are pretty small and scattered. There are plenty of news reports of felonies. Knoxville Police encrypted all their radio traffic. Prior to that, there was an online live feed from someones scanner. With what I heard on there, drugs were a big problem in Knoxville and a likely cause of many crimes. Havent looked at or listened to C'nooga enough to compare.
Ive heard similar things about Louisville. Neat place to visit, but beware of certain areas.
