Amid East Brainerd’s park desert, the city is moving to protect about 14 acres for a future green space and restore part of Mackey Branch creek.

03/13/2026

Chattamatters went up to Nashville’s Capitol Hill — or at least next to it — to see the state lawmaking process firsthand. We also spoke with several Tennesseans about why they were there. The answer every time? To make their presence known, and to make a difference.

03/09/2026

After they denied it in December, Council members will consider a step forward for a “lingering” Highland Park redevelopment. Also on their March 10 docket — Council wants a litter plan.

02/12/2026

Crews are at work to extend the TN Riverwalk to Alton Park. A couple community members told us what they think will come next.

02/04/2026

Protected by state law but poorly documented, Chattanooga’s oldest cemeteries have survived the city’s sprawl. These ghost graveyards, many overgrown and eroded, lie quietly beside homes, strip malls, and garbage collection centers. One could be right in your backyard.

By mixing 1.5 tons of plaster and exhausting two pairs of overalls, local sculptor Aubrey Charnell helped put a fresh face on the refurbished Chattanooga Bank Building. Guests at the soon-to-open Waymark Hotel may not even notice her restorative ceiling work, which blends seamlessly with the original, century-old ornaments.

12/02/2025

Despite a monthslong effort to change its fate, the Medical Arts Building on McCallie Avenue is still scheduled for demolition. The 10-story tower has stood for nearly 100 years and shares a spot on the National Register of Historic Places with siblings scattered across the country.
