Greetings, Chattanooga!
Meet Meredith Garrett. Garrett can be found at the Chattanooga Market most weekends dressed in her Sunday best and always sitting at her typewriter. A “poet for hire,” Garrett has written nearly 500 poems for strangers across Chattanooga since 2018, and she is currently collecting stories from Southerners to be part of an anthology which will explore the evolution of compassion in the Deep South – beginning with her own.
Let’s get into a few recent stories:
Hamilton County is looking to provide emergency weather radios to vulnerable citizens ahead of severe weather forecasted next spring.
Around 20 pastors participated in a discussion this week in an effort to mobilize local faith communities to build relationships and address racial injustice.
And Jack’s Family restaurant is set to open its 8th restaurant in the Chattanooga market by the end of January.
