We consider ourselves some of Chattanooga’s biggest fans, and we love watching the Scenic City continue to grow and flourish. With that said, we asked our Instagram followers to share things about the Scenic City they hope never change — here are some of the highlights.

“How there are not a lot of chain restaurants downtown! I love the local flavors!” — @paigevegasterlizzi

“Nature and our outdoor spaces as a focus. 💚” — @highgardentea

“Our famously friendly residents!” — @connieart4sale

“The sense of community and walkability of downtown. That’s what gives Chattanooga its charm!” — @jeshhhehhh

“I hope they never change those big steps by the river near the aquarium. My favorite spot to rest awhile.” — @mondidopwr__

“Our walking bridge, easy access to all things nature related (paddle boarding, rock climbing, trails, vistas), our quaint downtown area and all the restaurants and cool bars, our Hunter Museum and Bluff Arts District, very little traffic, small town vibes… I could go on.” — @staton.griffith
