Greetings, Chattanooga!

Today marks the first day of vacation for your regular Good Day author, Sunny Montgomery, so Allison Collins, digital and engagement editor, here. For the next few weeks, I’ll be bringing you the newsletter every weekday morning, and to kick it off this week, we want to see your Halloween costume photos! Whether it’s your child’s, your pet’s or your own – submit your photos here for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card. Voting will take place from Nov. 4- Nov. 10.

Now, let’s get into a few recent stories:
