Behind the Business Chatt

Every business has a story, and I'm setting out to learn the stories behind some of Chattanooga's most-loved businesses.This week, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Logan and Amy, owners of Chattynooga.Chattynooga is a local newsletter that stands out from the rest. They send weekly updates about Chattanooga events, locals in the community, and fun topics. These are all neatly tied up into a whimsy and quirky writing style delivered to the reader as if it was a short story book written by a couple of Appalachian 10-year-olds.Don't just take my word for it, sign up for the newsletter to see what I'm talking about!
