Cancel your dinner plans — it’s Chattanooga Burger Week. Dozens of local spots are serving up $8 specialty burgers now through Sunday, April 12. Personally, I’ve got my eyes on the green chili smash burger from Five Wits Brewing Co. and the jalapeno popper burger from The Tap House.

Whether it’s quiet time outdoors, a slow afternoon on the river, or a laid-back day in town, Clarksville offers visitors simple moments that feel familiar and refreshing.
Feeling stressed? This North Chattanooga home could melt it all away. Start with the sauna and steam shower, then head down the floating staircase, grab a book, and unwind by the custom fireplace. When you’re ready to rejoin society, you’re just steps from Northshore’s shops and restaurants.
Sports
Chattanooga FC will host Atlanta United FC in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 on Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Finley Stadium. This will be the first time the city has hosted an MLS team in a competitive match. Grab tickets and cheer on the Boys in Blue.
Fun Fact
Do you know about the fourth floor of the downtown Chattanooga Public Library? It doesn’t have books, but it’s worth checking out. The Makerspace has 3D printers, sewing machines, a photography studio, and more — all for public use. Library card holders can even check out tools + camping equipment for free. (The Pulse)
Cause
April is National Volunteer Month, a celebration of those who give back to their communities. In Chattanooga, it’s the perfect time to start volunteering (or take your service to the next level) with 50+ opportunities to get involved across town.
Asked
Where do you want to see a Little Free Library in Chattanooga? This Reddit post in r/ShowerThoughts considers that one of the best locations may be in an airport, and personally, we’d love to see one outside of Sleepyhead Coffee. Share your suggestions.
Try This

The Wrap
The Wrap
Did you notice the “Whose Live Anyway?” event in today’s Events section? As of Friday afternoon, there were only about a dozen tickets left to the show, but I think you should try to snag one. You won’t be able to get two seats together, so you’ll have to fly solo, but it’s a good opportunity to make new friends and laugh with your fellow Chattanoogans. See you there.
