A highly complimentary article about Chattanooga appears in the Southern Living Favorites section of the spring 2004 issue of Southern Living.

"On cool spring nights and warm sunny days, the banks of the Tennessee River hum with the vitality of a city that loves where it is and what it has become" provides the opening for the two-page story.

The piece calls the city’s transformation over the past few decades "nothing short of phenomenal" and offers a description of our current community undertaking: the 21st Century Waterfront Redevelopment Plan.

"Such a plan is clearly a challenge," Southern Living says. "But the people of this great "little city that could" don’t just think they can do it – they know they can. They’ve done it before."
