It’s like what Eva always wanted Green Acres wanted to be. Seriously, this place has a barn. And a view of the mountains. And everything you want in a home. But it’s only 10 minutes from downtown. OK, so you might not have quite enough room to grow any hay. But there’s definitely room for… Read More

Crimes Against Paint – Flooring Edition

Crimes against floors

Who among us has not ripped up the carpet in a fit of annoyance (or perhaps just boredom) and then painted the subflooring underneath, er, bright blue, while simultaneously painting the walls bright green, erm, including all the outlet covers? Point is, who am I to judge this particular crime? I mean, after all, I… Read More

Crimes Against Paint – Karmic Retribution Edition

Chattanooga real estate

See that right there? You may not realize it but what you are looking at is irony in paint. Karmic retribution. All of the gods are laughing at me. Why, you ask? Because that’s my neighbor’s house.

QR Code, ummm Shmu R Code?

302 Red Oak

Yeah, I have no idea what that means either (coming up with catchy titles is hard). What I do know is that when I said that EV charging stations were the latest and greatest, well, that was every bit of 2 months ago. Now there’s something even later and greater. QR Codes! What in the… Read More

Red Bank homes for sale

Typically, my Chattanooga real estate market reports look something like what you’ll find at the other end of that link back there. I have to admit, they are almost agony to put together. It’s just that boring. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as wonky as the next real estate geek, but there’s not much of… Read More

Go Play in the YARD!

Multi-colored Pansies, Chattanooga local businesses, The Barn Nursery

Now that it isn’t like Dante’s inferno quite so hot anymore, it’s fall planting time. I for one, really like The Barn Nursery‘s tag line: Go play in the yard! It’s hard to miss ‘The Barn’ if you live in Chattanooga. Just in case you’ve never noticed, it’s that big old mess o’ plants just… Read More
