Hello Thursday.
April 25 2024
A month ago, we asked you what local activities you would include on the ultimate Chattanooga Bucket List.
We narrowed that list down to 12 Scenic City-centered items for you to check off this summer, and even more exciting — the bucket list winners will receive NOOGAToday swag.
First place will get a hat for those long summer days, and second + third places get coffee mugs to use year-round.

The rules:
- The first 3 people who complete the list (with photo proof of each activity) will win.
- No, the photo doesn’t have to be new. If you’ve already done something on the list + have a photo of it — we’ll count that.
- You’ll have through July 15 to check off everything.
- After you’ve finished the list, send us your proof + we’ll keep track of the first 3 winners. We’ll get in touch with the winners after the competition ends.
The list:

NOOGAcurrent: What we’re eating
Brianna here, and I just tried the falafel tacos at the recently-opened Bollywood Tacos. They were awesome, and were easily made vegan. I’m also hoping to try out these new “ranch” + veggie wraps at Real Roots Café soon — they look insanely delicious. 😍
It’s Trista, and I almost always get the crispy chickn sandwich from Your Local Seitanist over the weekend. It’s. so. good. I could eat it every day.
