Happy Fall (Break), Y’all

As the city gets its first hint of hoodie weather, it seems the majority of Chattanoogans have flitted off in search of (even) more tropical locales for fall break, like, one might say, a moth to a flame – or a monarch butterfly to Mexico. Monarchs are the only insects to go to such great lengths to escape to a warmer climate, migrating from the U.S. to Mexico every year around this time.
