Happy almost weekend, Chattanooga. Brianna here, and despite the continued dreary weather that we’re expected to get this weekend, I’m excited for all that’s going on — indoors, of course. 😅 I’m especially looking forward to SHE BOP’s Holiday Market to shop sustainably for some unique holiday gifts.

Work on phase II of the I-24, I-75 split project is set to begin in late spring of 2023. The project is set to move forward after the Tennessee Department of Transportation awarded a $161 million contract for the job, with completion scheduled for late 2025. (Chattanooga Times Free Press)

No matter how you like to spend a day, Key West is theperfect place to get away from it all (especially in the winter). Just watch out for iguanas.
You can’t go to the Keys and not try a slice of Key lime pie. Every restaurant has its own twist on this classic, but I’m partial to the one at Blue Heaven topped with sky-high layers of meringue.
Key West was discovered in the 1500s, so it’s got a long, spooky history. Learn about its past with a ghost tour on a trolley — and say hello to Robert the Doll.
