Chattanooga’s virtual 2020 time capsule

Feature

Add something to the NOOGAtoday digital time capsule.

Boy oh boy, 2020. This year sure has been one for the books – the history books that is. Here at NOOGAtoday, we felt that this year should be commemorated, so that it could then be promptly forgotten. So, we want your help in creating a virtual community time capsule. The good news is – since it’s virtual, we won’t rerelease the Coronavirus back into the atmosphere 20 years from now.

All kidding aside, we know this year has been full of once in a lifetime hardship, stress, and change. But we hope you have found a few moments, memories + lessons to celebrate even walking among this year’s lows.

So, that’s where you come in, Chattanooga. Help us create a collective snapshot of what life has looked like in Chattanooga in 2020 by submitting selfies in your favorite mask, recipes, handwritten notes, diary entries or blog posts, menus from new restaurants that opened, TikTok dance challenges, artwork and multimedia projects, messages for the future, and more.

We’ll be accepting submissions over the next several weeks, and then we’ll choose our favorites to live encapsulated on the world wide web for eternity….or something like that. We know each one of you has a story to tell from this past year, so it is our hope that this virtual time capsule will shed some light on our city’s collective experiences in 2020 for future generations (or even just us in a few months’ or years’ time).
