The only time I've lived any other place was when I was in service. So, all I have to compare with the Chattanooga area is "talk" and "pictures" of other places.
I was born at Stone Mountain, Georgia and moved to Chattanooga when I was two years old... that was 63 years ago.
I now live about 6 or 7 miles east of Cleveland, which is about 35 miles up I-75 from Chattanooga.
I can't see another house where I live.. and that's what I want. But, I can be in town in about 15 minutes.. or Chattanooga in a little over 30 minutes. But, I really like going east from my house.. I can have total peace and quiet when I visit my "Church"!!

I'll save you a seat...
