Quote: "It's a hidden little gem to the city. There are people who have lived in Chattanooga their entire lives and don't know where this community is. There are so many children. My kids can go outside and run from one house to the other and feel safe. There's a park in the middle of it!" -- Hamilton County General Sessions Court Judge Christie Mahn Sell.
