This is Hamilton County Sheriff records on their spending on ALPR subscriptions on Flock and Motorola.

Yes, that’s over a million dollars on the Motorola one.

I don’t have Chattanooga PD yet as it’s an extreme hassle to get records like this disclosed/don’t live in the city.

(Assume a similar amount since they also run a Motorola ALPR network)

The future of Hamilton County, our state, and nation, are being decided by the people with the least interest in the future. Go vote!

He sent nude photos, read NY Times article.

Truly non-partisan

(Paywalled sorry. I don't make these decisions.)

The Chattanooga City Council on Tuesday approved a five-year contract for fleet management software worth up to $750,000. The purchase is aimed at giving city leaders more oversight into the department roughly two months after an internal audit revealed more than $1 million in unauthorized spending on automotive parts.

I only eat cooked fish, but nowhere I’ve been so has fried salmon in their sushi and I was wondering if that was even a thing here (I’m from Florida, and his me place I would go to had it there)
This was the roll

hello all. 49 yo couple moving to chatt w a dog and no kids. i am being asked to move to east tn for work and we have zero'd in on chatt. looking for any advice on renting a nice home or townhome w yard min 2 bath min 2 bed need an office too in neighborhoods that are walkable/rideable fun funky and steeped in as much culture as the area can provide. in our initial research we are leaning towards southside and northshore. any advice would be much appreciated. we're very active, bike riders, hikers, walkers and love to get out in the community for events and such. thanks all, take care

It's literally been a crawl for the last 2 hours from Nickajack Lake in Jasper to the 59 exit 167. I have basically only made it 10 miles in 2 hours

Saw this driving down the interstate and lowkey gives off old Volkswagen or bmw vibes anyone got a clue?

I have been wanting to do a modest "off grid" (no grid feed) solar system on my house for a few year. We are in a place where we can finally do it. I am here to get the real talk on what needs to happen with TVA, EPB and the city for me to do this. I DO NOT and WILL NOT be grid tied in any way. I plan on doing battery storage with my excess production during the day. Electrical changes will be minimal as I plan I just doing manual interlock switches on my 2 panels. And the solar panels will be ground mount and fence mount. MAYBE a few thousnad KW of panels on the shed roof off my garage. Can I fly under the radar on this one? If not what is the minimum government/utility involvement I can get away with? Thanks in advance!

Sorry to all the Jack Brown lovers in Chatt. They’re private equity now :(

I moved here with my Dad in high school, hated it, turned 18 and left "for good." Spent the next ten plus years working in IT as a digital nomad several cities and states; Southwest, Midwest, West Coast, and Northern Pacific; then my dad got sick and I moved back, he passed away and by then I also had a two children of my own. I do ok, I work a job that is quite demanding and requires a lot of travel at times but the big perk I can live pretty much anywhere there's WiFi and a decent airport. So for the last twelve years or so back I decided to embrace this city while they grew up.

It's been aggressively OK. I've lived enough places to understand no place is perfect and I both condemn and defend aspects of every place I have lived; traffic, crime, weather, culture. There is simply no perfect place to live. I found the tradeoffs here acceptable the good balanced out the bad--a Goldilocks city. Not too big or too small, not too anything but enough of it at the same time. Most importantly I was slowly able to build a solid friend group of people that have been amazing with everything from childcare to emotional support over the years. Though several have left in recently; everything from retired to Florida to took an amazing job abroad.

So now my last child is graduating.

I watched the city build and grow and genuinely seem to be on the right path the majority of my time back. Granted not having to work here made a huge difference since the local job market didn't really impact me but I still needed an affordable, safe place to raise kids, so I did care about the local culture, economy, and government and it seemed B-/C+ in my opinion conservative but flashes of progressive influence--the way the city decorates downtown for Juneteenth, a mayor that walks in Pride Parades, that's something right?

Anyway, is it time to escape?

What are your major predictions for Chattanooga through 2030 that will decide whether getting out or riding it out is the best option?

31 yo F, married, 17 month old son. I’m looking to make some friends in or around Chattanooga. Hobbies are weight lifting/exercise/healthy living, reading, painting, plants, board games. I really miss hiking and rock climbing but definitely have paused on that quite a bit since the baby. Not religious. Full time occupational therapist. Don’t really watch TV. I don’t really drink alcohol and don’t smoke and yes.. I sound super boring :(

leave a message if you think we would mesh!

P.S. not looking for anything other than friendship.

you can only watch the debate between David Hatley, Lauren Pinkston and Jerri Green it is only being streamed @ https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/elections/2026/10/27/tn-governor-livestream-debate-midterm-elections/92458411007/

Crazy story, if anyone experienced a random slowdown on I-24 a couple minutes ago, someone's dog had fallen or something out of their car and ran like 2 miles down the interstate. It was pretty crazy a few miles from downtown almost hit the poor thing they got their dog back tho! Not sure what flair this falls under, but thought I'd share.

Anybody know what’s up with the drone show in south Chatt tonight? Maybe at Erlanger Park? I can’t find anything online about it.

Randomly decided I was tired of sitting on the couch after work today and told my girlfriend throw some decent clothes on, we’re going for a walk. Parked at Ross’ Landing, took the riverwalk to the bridge, and was just in time to catch this stunning sunset.

Im wanting to do something fun during Halloween. We arent into SUPER loud places (so raves or massive concerts are out) its mainly to enjoy the night, dress up, and be whimsical (and if theres a market then yes- spend some money, XD)

Thanks in advance and tell me what yall are dressing up as!

What’s the best way to hike there with a 14, 13 & 10 year old? What trailhead should we go to ?

Looking for recommendations for an insurance broker in Chatt. Home / Auto / Umbrella.

Any experiences vs shopping around the big names on your own?
