Chattanooga Bounce - Do It Yourself

Nestled along the serene banks of the Tennessee River, Chattanooga, Tennessee, stands as a testament to resilience. It boasts a vibrant tapestry of history and a diverse community. From its ancient origins as a Native American settlement to its modern identity as a bustling metropolitan center, the city's journey exemplifies the indomitable spirit of its inhabitants.

Chattanooga's rich history spans millennia, with traces of Native American presence dating back to the Woodland Period. Its strategic location as a hub for trade and cultural exchange among various Indigenous tribes underscores its profound historical significance.

In the 19th century, Chattanooga emerged as a crucial player in the transportation industry, earning the moniker "The Gateway to the Deep South." The first railroad construction in the region during the 1850s propelled Chattanooga into a central transportation hub, facilitating the seamless movement of goods and people across the nation.

The Civil War era marked a pivotal chapter in Chattanooga's history, with significant battles such as the Battle of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge shaping the course of the conflict and solidifying the city's place in American history.

Despite facing periods of economic fluctuation in subsequent years, Chattanooga underwent transformative changes, leading to a revitalization in the late 20th century. This resurgence sparked a renaissance, propelling Chattanooga into its current status as a thriving regional cultural and economic center.

Today, Chattanooga is a melting pot of cultures and demographics, with a vibrant mix of ethnicities, including substantial populations of African Americans, Caucasians, Hispanics, and Asians. The city's demographic landscape continues to evolve, influenced by migration, immigration, and economic opportunities, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

As a regional hub for education, healthcare, and industry, Chattanooga boasts prestigious institutions like the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and a thriving healthcare sector, attracting a diverse workforce from across the globe.

As Chattanooga progresses, its history serves as a testament to its people's resilience and determination. Embracing its unique blend of past and present, Chattanooga continues to be a beacon of opportunity and inclusivity, welcoming individuals and families from all walks of life.

Car Camping for the First Time

In February a friend and I went on a road trip which landed us in West Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

The first two nights on the road we car camped at Walmart and the rest of the trip we stayed with the people we were visiting.

Neither of us had car camped before so we didn't know what to expect. Staying at Walmart worked out just how I expected! We made sure to park in well lit areas near the semi trucks, but far enough away from the building that we weren't in the way of customers the following morning.

I can confirm that Grey Lady can easily sleep two people. To make things simple we kept the bed set up at all times, and just moved stuff between the front and back as needed. I had window coverings made out of reflectix and duct tape that worked out really well for the back windows. We used a black blanket to cover the items in the front seats, which also that blocked the front view.

Our first stop was Morgantown, WV because I'm a Fallout Nerd and I was way too excited to visit. I'm not sorry.

The Andy Griffith Show was one of my favorite shows on TV Land as a kid, and I always liked Don Knotts as an actor, so it was pretty cool to learn he was from Morgantown.

I didn't realize how much they love their cryptids. The town has begun a yearly event called Cryptid Bash and I'm hoping to attend in the near future.

They also have beautiful street art!

While in town we decided to visit Dent's Run Covered Bridge. We missed a turn and got slightly lost on winding dirt roads for a good hour, but we found it and it was awesome!

When we pulled over to check out the bridge I grabbed this beautiful shot of Grey Lady. She held up so well on those roads, especially for a newbie like me. Thankfully we got back to the main roads before darkness hit, or I don't know if we would have gotten out.

Next up we visited a friend in Chattanooga, TN. The morning after we got there she took us to a diner called Aretha Frankenstein.

We loved the décor and enjoyed the food. I grabbed chicken and biscuits which was delicious - at least to a Northerner like me. The friend we were visiting with got the pancakes and they were huge! She compared them to cutting the top off a cake before you frost it - it sounds accurate to me.

If you want a good view of the city check out Lookout Mountain. We went up both at night and during the day. There's "train" called the Incline Railway which take you up and down the Mountain. We didn't go on it, but to look at it reminded me of a roller coaster.

Our second day involved a trip to Nashville. Did you know they have a replica of the Parthenon ? I didn't before this trip.

As a person who loves world building, history and architect, being able to stand in a life like "ancient" temple was mind blowing. I've walked through replicated rooms at museums before, but nothing to this scale.

When we got to the main floor I went from feeling like I was in a dream to hyper focusing on all the details; comparing the size of the people against everything there and making mental notes so I get the scaling right in my stories.

After Nashville we headed into North Carolina and visited with family. If you're in or near Raleigh, NC I highly recommend the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science. Unfortunately I've reached my max on pictures for this post, but know that its an amazing museum and its free!

I also recommend checking out Apex Wings in Apex, NC if you enjoy laidback local food. They have what they call "egg rolls", but they're more like crispy wraps. Your choices are "reuben roll" which is a reuben in a crispy wrap, "italian roll" which is like a pizza in a crispy wrap, and "buffalo chicken roll" which is like a chicken finger wrap but crispy. We chose the assorted option so we could try all of them, and I look forward to doing it again!

Don't think this trip was without its bumps and bruises. It wasn't. We gained some stories and some lessons, but I'll save those for another post.

Reblog and let me know where you went on your first road trip!

Be Green, Be Good

Green for Good Logo

The Green for Good idea was spawned from Startup Week CHA, in which entrepreneurs were invited to pitch ideas to the city for ways to inspire better recycling practices. Brian Wright’s Green for Good was one of four ideas chosen by the city and awarded grant money to pilot the program and assess the results.

The Green for Good concept is a threefold plan: identify fun, inventive ways to recycle in the home, school, and at work. Businesses and organizations on the Southside that will be participating in the pilot program for the month of January. The Green for Good team will be collecting the recycling on a weekly basis.

Proceeds from the collections will benefit Habit for Humanity. Each participating business will compete to win a Green for Good prize pack.

Widgets & Stone donated a logo to help the cause get off to a good green start.

Growing the Mission

Médicos Mission Fund Logo and Identity

Clínica Médicos was founded in 2015 by Dr. Kelly Rodney Arnold to make quality, comprehensive healthcare accessible to Chattanooga’s underserved Latino community regardless of insurance status, language, pregnancy, age, or gender. In six short years, from their clinic at 1300 East 23rd Street, it has realized that mission by providing outstanding care and empowering the next generation of medical professionals through education and hands-on training.

Now, Clínica Médicos is growing. Dr. Arnold and her colleagues have acquired a new facility at 1148 East 23rd Street — a former automotive garage across from the Sculpture Fields at Montague Park — and will soon offer a fuller range of medical services, including mental health and counseling, dentistry, and more.

To bring this vision to life, they have created the Médicos Mission Fund, a new non-profit, 501c3 organization that will fund the growth of a new campus, outstanding educational experiences for our physicians and high-quality medical services and equipment for the families who rely on Clinica medicos.

Widgets & Stone helped to create a logo that pairs perfectly with the Clínica Médicos identity and dovetails into print materials as well.
