When the Chattanooga Times merged with the Chattanooga News-Free Press (yes, really), Chattanooga lost something.
Enter Chattarati: "... communal narcissism for the scenic city." Looks like a decent attempt to bring back... well... if not journalism, something, in Chattanooga.

Thank you Dan for the link and comment. It's a bunch of us who have been around the blogging and alt-weekly scene this decade. We have a bunch of interesting interviews and ideas in the queue. We want to be a little more "open" and extended than the local news, who honestly have to worry more about ad space than providing news.

Yeah, buy tom kunesh a beer sometime and ask him about the ad space versus news conundrum that the publishers of "City Beat" faced way back when.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
