Last week marked National Small Business Week, and we asked folks to tell us their favorite places in Chattanooga. You did not disappoint — with nearly 500 comments, the local love was felt everywhere in the Scenic City.

We wanted to share a few that seemed to get the most tags — but don’t fret, this won’t be the last time we spotlight the businesses shared in our post. In the meantime, check out these beloved spots.
