The cover of the October issue of Outside Magazine teases the “Where to Live Now” story featuring Chattanooga.Hope you don’t mind sharing.
Even though Chattanooga won Outside Magazine’s Best Town Ever contest, the Scenic City may not get the cover to itself.
Senior Editor Jonah Ogles said the September issue will likely showcase two towns on the front.
The final score showed Chattanooga with 67,432 votes and Port Angeles, Wash., with 62,130, the peak of a competition that started with 64 towns. Towns advanced through bracketed races divided by geographic region. Chattanooga has about 170,000 residents, Port Angeles about 20,000.
Votes came from around the nation, even around the world. But they were blips compared with “two giant dots” hovering over Chattanooga and Port Angeles for the past month, Ogles said.
