Life has been rough, y’all. And Coheed (grey, 13f) & Cambria (black, 12f) have been with me through all of it.

But, things have continued to digress for me, and I’m no longer able to care for them. I’d really prefer not to send them to the pound, for multiple reasons, but that’ll have to be the next step because of how unsteady things are for me.

They’re very sweet girls that just want to steal your warmth. Cambria is especially docile, but they’ve both been around children and other cats at various stages of their lives. They are older, but Cambria will chase a laser around like a kitten and Coheed won’t shy away from chin scratches.

They’re both fixed, but my financial situation steadily becoming worse has prevented me from getting their shots or flea treatments.

I heard there’s a stripper pole in there!

PM me for details.

I'm a teacher at a small school and our plan for a math teacher this upcoming year have fallen through...

Howdy! It may be too late in the season, but does anyone know where I can publicly access some mulberry trees around town? Pic included to reference what the ground would look like around the tree in case you’re unfamiliar with the berry! TIA

If you could recommend a field somewhere to just lie down in near Chattanooga, where would you go?

Sometimes you gotta just lie in a field, y'know? Wildflowers would be a lovely added bonus.

Friday 7/17/26 around 6-7PM Ooltewah Food City. You were in blue scrubs and we ended up being in each other’s way a few times in different isles. We had a laugh about it then made eye contact in the checkout lines. We smiled.

I should have introduced myself but chickened out. 🤷‍♂️

24F born and raised in chattanooga, and i’m looking for new friends!

i would preferably like to connect with single childless women my age (22-30 year olds). however, i am open to others as long as you’re respectful and we hit it off. i’m also a leftist and do not tolerate bigotry of any sort, which can make it hard to make genuine connections here. i’d love to connect and make plans to see each other in person!

Has one lived in Alden apartments in hixson, tn been considering them for a while but im scared bc I have not lived in apartments before and I always hear crazy stuff.

I built a site that transcribes Chattanooga's public scanner feeds and maps them live. It's free to browse the last 24 hours with no account, and it covers Downtown and Southside among other areas.

Standard caveat, it's AI transcription of scanner audio so it's unverified and occasionally wrong. Not a substitute for anything official.

Also happens to have a JSON API if any CS students want to build something on it. [423pulse.com](http://423pulse.com)

Hey all, I’m going to be coming down for bachelor party August 13-16.

We get in town on Thursday the 13th, was thinking we can BBQ and maybe go belly up somewhere tame. Any suggestions?

Friday the 14th we have rafting planned in AM. Thinking we can get cleaned up and check out some bars/restaurants- any suggestions? Any streets or neighborhoods we can bar crawl?. I know people have posted in here before but a lot of what I’ve seen suggested seems outdated. I’ve seen Pickle Barrel and a few other late night options. Please comment below for groups of 15~ hungry guys.

Saturday we don’t have plans, I know Redbull Rivergames will be that weekend- we might check that out on Saturday. How is the music afterwards? Is it walkable to other places?

I have checked out nooga night life but am finding it hard to build an itinerary based off that.

TLDR: We will have around 15 guys and our only definite plans are rafting. I want to be able to have a few options of where to go. Any neighborhood suggestions we can bar crawl?
Thank you in advance!

Hi, I am looking to find someone or a group of people to meet with once a month or so to go grab food. I stay inside way too much, hobbies include gaming, fostering kittens and archery. Feel free to reach out!
