CBS Early Show calls Chattanooga green

If you happened to miss this while running out the door to the office....check it out

The CBS Early Show recently featured "green" vacation spots and the Scenic City made it to the list. I must admit that I haven't watched the program much since they broke up the duo of Harry Smith & Paula Zahn (and the other big weather guy-not Willard or Al) Maybe we should all watch them a little more now that they're singing the praises of Chattanooga.

The report noted that “Memphis loves to sing the blues, but in Chattanooga, the tune is ‘Go Green.’ The river town has come a long way since being designated America's most polluted city in 1969. Today, 22 miles of once inaccessible riverfront have been reclaimed for public use, and revitalization projects have made the city a model eco town and tourist hotspot.”

The host, Maggie Rodriguez, having lived/worked in Los Angeles, Miami and now New York remarked "look how beautiful it is"....we couldn't agree more.
