Good morning, Chattanooga, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Today, I’m thankful for more than I have space to write.
In a year amid a persistent pandemic and harrowing headlines, every weekday, writing this newsletter reminds me that there is still such good in the world.
I’m thankful to live in a city where the sense of community runs strong, the good food never ends and the views are unrivaled. I’m thankful for family and friends, coworkers and neighbors, and multiple places to call home.
But I’m also grateful for our readers who support our work each and every day, keeping local news alive in the Tennessee Valley.
I hope that this newsletter finds you and your families well and that you have a warm Thanksgiving.
