Flea markets

East Ridge Antique District, East Ridge
Located on Slater Road, this shopping complex holds eight different antique shops that feature a variety of booths. You can find anything from refurbished furniture to vintage clothing.

Chattanooga Vintage Market, NorthShore
Brought to you by the folks at Ugly Duck Vintage, this market in Coolidge Park features local vendors for all of your secondhand and upcycled needs — make sure you follow along on Instagram for market dates.

Co-Op markets

Dirty Jane’s Antiques, Red Bank
The only thing dirty about this 24,000-sqft shop is the fact we can’t buy everything in it. With 100+ booths, there are plenty of vintage goods to go around. Pro tip: Follow them on Instagram for updates on what’s in store.

Vinterest, Southside + Hixson
This co-op style store has been voted people’s choice as Chattanooga’s “best antique store” consecutively from 2015 to 2021. Bonus: Stay tuned for ways to purchase online.

Not Too Hot Sauce hits the shelves in Chattanooga

NOOGAtoday | A variety pack of Not Too Hot Sauce — from left to right, Gingerella (orange label), Jalapeño Business (green label), Creamy Buff-Alo (red label), and Cha-Cha Sriracha (blue label).

Spicy not your thing? Try out a new local mild to medium sauce brand. | Photo by Not Too Hot Sauce

A new hot sauce company has hit the streets, but with a more mild twist. Not Too Hot Sauce specializes in classic hot flavors without the heat.

Created by Chattanooga natives Melody and Angela Petulla, this sister-duo company currently has four recipes. Melody Petulla, a spice lover + recipe maker, was inspired by her younger sister’s lack of love for hot flavors.

Gingerella | Red jalapeño + ginger-based mild to medium sauce
Jalapeño Business | Jalepeño + lime-based mild sauce
Creamy Buff-alo | Cayenne-based mild to medium sauce
Cha-Cha Sriracha | Red jalapeño + mild red pepper-based medium sauce

“We are a hot sauce for weak people, and we’re okay with that,” said Angela Petulla. “They’re gonna get a nice tingly sensation instead of something that will scold their mouth.”

The pair hopes to work with other small businesses to showcase these sauces. Currently, you can shop online or visit Scenic City Hot Sauces located at 133 Frazier Ave. (Pro tip: ask to have a sample taste).
