CultureMap went looking for the
country's next Austin, and they found Chattanooga:
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Chattanooga has been wooing the panties off the popular urbanite mag,
GOOD Magazine, with tales of their new city-wide typeface and 'super
green' VW plant. According to the online magazine, the city's new font, Chatype,
was born from the coffee shop meeting of a brand consultant and
typeface designer. The duo brainstormed about what it would be like for
Chattanooga to be the most conceptually awesome city in America and
— poof — Chatype was born.
GOOD also commended VW's new Chattanooga plant that
turns paint waste into cement instead heading into landfills. To add to
Chattanooga's green-like behavior, the city implemented
human-race-eliminating 'smart lights' — LED streetlights that can
respond to different environments and situations. These streetlights are
controlled by the city's new fiber optic high-speed Internet that
is also helping lure fleets of businesses and nerdies into this scenic
Tennessee town. In addition to showing America it's the baddest mo-fo
city around, Chattanooga was named one of NY Times 45 Places to Visit in the United States, along with its sister city, Space.
