the Mountain Echo
A community-based podcast serving the people of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, TN and north Georgia with episodes concerning our mountaintop neighborhood. We feature the people of our community, both longtime and new residents, discussing their interests and passions, including their own families. We also feature information on neighborhood groups, events and efforts, as well as hearing from some of our young folks. Serving both the Georgia and Tennessee side as one community, our goal is to increase personal bonds and connection through awareness, knowledge and sharing via neighborhood podcast episodes. We look forward to meeting new folks and to helping everyone be better informed about our wonderful neighborhood and its people. We welcome your thoughts and ideas at: tME, PO Box 7, Lookout Mountain, TN 37350
