Even if you’re not from Tennessee, you’ve likely heard of things from there. The southern state is known for Jack Daniels whiskey, country music, and finger licking barbecue. When you think of any of those things, you probably think of Memphis or Nashville but it’s the eastern city of Tennessee that’s the real gem. Nicknamed the ‘Scenic City’, Chattanooga is located right in the heart of the Tennessee Valley. Surrounded by mountains, with the Tennessee River snaking through the valley, the views are incredible. Once one of the most polluted cities in the country, Chattanooga has grown up and cleaned up and now everyone from Iron Man atheletes to young, entrepreneurs are flocking to town.
