Happy Valentine’s Day, Chattanooga. 💘 Trista here, and I don’t get sappy often, but I love this city so. much.
To prove it, I wrote a Shakespearian sonnet. I didn’t compare Nooga to a summer day, or even a rainy one which would have been on-brand, but instead tried to give a little nudge to all the things I love about this place. I hope you all enjoy + relate to it, and if you’re up for the challenge, write your own poem and send it to us. We’d love to share the love. 🥰
Be Mine, Chattanooga
There is so much to love, adore about you
In spring, the lush, bold blooms and waterfalls
Autumn, the falling leaves of deep, rich hues
Every season, new sights — nature’s wild calls
You have mountains and rivers to explore
Lula Lake to Signal Point and North Chick
You are loved by locals, tourists, and more
Nooga, it’s no secret you make hearts tick
And oh, the folks who occupy this space
They spark conversation — thoughts old and new
Community balanced with snags and grace
Through thick and thin your admirers stay true
And yes, I’ve called other cities my home
But Chatt, will you always be mine to roam?
