This area of Chattanooga was originally called Hill City by African-Americans making a new life soon after the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in 1863. Today, it’s an eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind small businesses run by passionate locals, embracing the tagline, “Hip to Historical.” Brochure guides to the district are available in most storefronts, guiding you to handdipped treats at Clumpies Ice Cream, gourmet hot dogs at Good Dog, unique pet treats at Bone Appétit, eco-friendly food and merchandise at Greenlife Grocery/ Whole Foods Market and much more.
