I found Chattanooga a sober place to live with not much happening around but it certainly got all the good  vibes one would look for.The downtown is peaceful with surprising places in its resume,like an awesome Tennesse aquariam,a zoo, delicious fine resturants in each block and an imax theater that would keep you intact with all the new movies.And,the place is cheap compared to other states..just like down south where the gas price is low and dinner costs less than what you have predict.The place is full of friendly people from all around the globe and it is engulfed by walmarts and daily shopping is all too easy.Chattanooga is small but still have public commute and those mini buses will drop you anyplace if your car is not running smooth.The apartments are not that expensive and most have swimming pools to much delight for their tenants to dive in the summer heat and the uncountable green trees of Tennesse would always put you in the middle of  the nature where everyou roam.I would give 8 out of 10 to that place.Gl GIG.
