Hey y’all! Welcome to Chelsea Chatts, formerly known as Brunette Decorum. My name is Chelsea Ann and as many of you may have read in my bio, I am a native Californian who recently relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee. A lot of folks have asked me… Where is Chattanooga? Of all the states to choose from, why are you moving to Tennessee? While there are a plethora of reasons that my husband and I left California, there are also just as many reasons that we chose to put down roots in Chattanooga. A few of our top reasons include…
+ Innovative Career Options For Remote (& Non-Remote) Workers
As many people are learning, Chattanooga is one of the fastest up-and-coming cities in the USA. Once name the dirtiest city in America due to shipping, logistics, and factory pollution, Chattanooga has made it their mission to clean up their act. Since the 1980s, Chattanooga has focused on re-inventing themselves as a clean energy city and outdoor destination for Southerners. With real estate, construction, and interior design industries taking off, this once dirty city has become a charming go-to vacation spot for people across the country. Now, they’ve taken that innovative mindset a step further. As Chattanooga expands their industries from tourism to clean energy and beyond, the city has also become a tech hub for the South. How has this small city become center of innovation? That leads me to my next point…
+ The Fastest Internet in the USA
Now known as Gig City, Chattanooga became the first US city to introduce a citywide gigabit network. What does that mean exactly? We have the fastest internet in America. Yes, even faster than California’s Silicon Valley, Silicon Beach, and New York City! With access to fast, affordable internet, Chattanooga has become a go-to destination for tech companies, startups, and remote workers alike. Because of this development, Chattanooga is expected to explode in residents and career opportunities over the next 10 years. That being said, there’s another important reason to consider moving to Chattanooga…
+ A Laidback Lifestyle Outside of the Office
While Chattanooga has been coined Gig City recently, it has also been long known as Scenic City for its beautiful mountains, rivers, and lakes. Yes, this small city is growing into an innovative tech hub, but local residents and politicians refuse to let that take away from Chattanooga’s charm. For remote and non-remote workers alike, this beautiful city offers an abundance of outdoor activities, exciting local events, and access to some of America’s most exciting cities. Known as the Gateway to the South, Chattanooga is only a 2-hour drive to major cities such as Nashville (Tennessee), Atlanta (Georgia), and Birmingham (Alabama). Chattanooga is also a short drive from the beauty of the Appalachian, Blue Ridge, and Smoky Mountains in addition to a short flight from the remainder of the East Coast.
