The New York Times has named Chattanooga one of the top 45 places to visit in 2012. The newspaper mentioned only three other U.S. This compares the Scenic City to such destinations as Tibet, Florence, Vienna, Morocco, Malaysia, Switzerland, Uganda and more. A clip from the article: “In 1969, Walter Cronkite famously called Chattanooga the dirtiest city in America. In recent years, though, it has undergone a dramatic overhaul with a radical gentrification plan and an aggressive citywide push to lure artists. On the heels of this artistic transformation has come the inevitable, yet not unwelcome, boutique boom in places like the recently restored Warehouse Row, a Civil War-era factory turned shopping center filled with local, upscale ... goods.” (Photo provided)
