Picture this: You’re watching live music, swaying with the crowd, eyes glued to the stage. Only in this scenario, the crowd is on somebody’s lawn — and the stage is their front porch.
The very first Red Bank Porchfest is happening this Saturday, Nov. 15, and the schedule is out. You’ll hear music from LVNDR, Randy Steele, and E.T., to name a few. Every artist and sponsor is from Red Bank, and the entire festival is free to attend.

Holy brick, look at that view. This 4,144-sqft North Chattanooga home has us torn — we don’t know if we’d rather stay inside, soaking in the luxurious bathtub, or head outside to take in the Lookout Mountain views. Who are we kidding?If you need us, we’ll be outside.

One of the Tennessee Aquarium’s youngest residents has a name. Drum roll, please.
This… is Tater, the Gentoo penguin chick. His name was chosen by the winning bidder of the aquarium’s fundraising auction. Tater hatched on May 29, so we’re sure he’s happy to finally have a name. Congratulations to mom and dad (Carla and Bigfoot) — he sure is a cutie.
