More good news 'bout Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
 Many may remember when Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News announced to the world that the US government cited Chattanooga as the city with America’s dirtiest air, the product of decades of economic growth as home to foundries and other heavy manufacturers.
In response, the City Council joined with local companies and physicians to create a pollution control board that led to $10m in private-sector air-quality investments. When heavy manufacturing declined in the 70s and 80s, the same spirit of partnership and the support of local foundations led to a decade of transformative downtown revitalization projects.
During the recent years the business, academic and governmental leadership has pressed forward on multiple fronts. The city-owned electric utility built a fiber network that will collect billions of data points and provide real-time management that will significantly boost the grid’s reliability and performance. It will also extend ultra-high-speed broadband to 170,000 homes and businesses...click here for entire story!

Any day is a good day to donate blood and Blood Assurance makes it easy.
Patrice and I make an effort to donate when we see a bus.
Blood Assurance Bus on Signal Mountain, TN
click for pictures
This particular day we were up on Signal and the local chiropractor, Dr. Terry Loher was sponsoring a blood mobile. We saw the bus and decided to stop.
This donation came with a complimentary adjustment from Dr. Loher, Signal Mountain Chiropractic
One of the requirements for donating is an 8 week waiting period and for us it had been just over 2 months since our last drive.
Blood Assurance was founded in 1972 as a joint effort of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Medical Society, the Chattanooga Area Hospital Council, and the Chattanooga Jaycees.
Since then, Blood Assurance has served the people of these areas with the mission of providing a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood components to everyone in need.

“It all comes back to the basic. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back.” ~ Dave Thomas
Blue Orchid on Cherry Street in Dunlap, TN
Owners Linda and Randy Slomian and their daughter Executive Chef Christina Anderson trained at Johnson & Wales have brought a wonderful dining experience to the Sequatchie Valley. Truth is, the Blue Orchid Bistro is an easy drive from just about anywhere, 25 minutes from Soddy-Daisy or Signal Mountain and 40 minutes from downtown Chattanooga.
Randy, Chef Christina and Linda
Patrice and I first met Randy and staff of Blue Orchid Bistro this spring at Bella Sera where we tasted mouthwatering chicken salad on specially made rolls by Neidlov's Breadworks and a special house made chocolate dessert.
We were in Dunlap today to list a home for sale, so we decided to stop for a late lunch. Located in the "heart" of the town the restaurant is a gem located in an historic building. What for years was a single story pharmacy in downtown Dunlap is now the Blue Orchid Bistro. With seating for 24 downstairs and 46 in the upstairs dining room, the Blue Orchid is able to accommodate most groups for dinner or catered events.
View from the loft at Blue Orchid Bistro
Tempted by the Grouper sandwich, I ordered a classic Rueben while Patrice opted for the soup and sandwich, Cheddar Broccoli with a Turkey and Swiss.
The service by Lindsey was prompt and professional, we asked, so she recommended as an appetizer, the Zucchini Straws which came to the table hot and wonderfully tasty.
Fat Rueben
I stepped upstairs to the loft to take some pictures and came back to discover an order had been placed for the house made Chocolate Bread Pudding, challah soaked in a chocolate custard, baked and served warm with a bourbon caramel sauce. All the deserts are made in house.
For your pleasure, beer and wine are available for sale while the restaurant will uncork your own bottle and provide glassware for BYOB. We have already made plans to return soon for dinner and wish the Blue Orchid Bistro much success as they celebrate the second anniversary in Dunlap.
note: lunch is served Wednesday - Sunday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. central time, dinner is served Thursday - Saturday 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and reservations are recommended
