Letters to the Editors: Thanks for being such a great host

Thanks for being such a great host

It is time for us to say goodbye to our friends in Chattanooga, not knowing whether we will come back someday. After almost three years in this wonderful city, we are heading back to our hometown in Emden, Germany.

We want to say thank you to everyone for being a great “host.”

We enjoyed every minute of our time in the U.S. We visited several places, but Tennessee and the city of Chattanooga are somehow special. It all starts with the people and their Southern hospitality. No matter where we went, everyone was friendly, offered help and showed interest in our thoughts and points of view.

Chattanooga is a great place to live. You are gifted with a breathtaking nature, lots of sun and for us a top ranked quality of life. You have the mountains, the Tennessee River, forest areas everywhere, and you can be proud of how Chattanooga has developed in the last decades.
