The efforts there are commendable. As a resident of Chattanooga, I am nervous to know what will happen to the residents on Main as the revitalization begins to spread. As the resident above pointed out - the North shore is a wonderful place to live. However, the north shore was also once a place riddled with crime, poverty and prostitution until rich, white, upperclass developers came in and changed the area. The population was pressed out of the area to make room for high rise condos and expensive shops. And as a result some of the neighboorhood behind Frazier Ave are just as bad as those on Main St. Perhaps the authors could have worked with some of the neighborhood associations who are trying to work with developers to protect the population already living on Main to ensure they don't get pushed out. The south side of chattanooga can be very beautiful, but it is easy to forget that building a few new restuarants or coffee shops that people already living in the area can't afford to go to will not solve any economic problems. The development on the southside needs be much more diversified. Overall, I think it was good story and I'm glad that there was an attempt to capture all of main st, but there is clearly much more to the area than "a little revitalization and a lot of prostitution." BTW: one driver calling you a prostitute does not mean that all chattanoogans think women walking down main street are working girls. That generalization is a little absurd and quite rediculous.

They are crawling with those in need of help, and those who don't want help but enjoy crawling. Crime is an issue there. I'm resident of North Chattanooga, and have been to main street during the day. It is 2 blocks of nice and a couple of miles of bad. There is no way I would be interested in visiting that area in the evening when I might be there after dark. If you like Main St. good for you! As for this article, it is main street love it or hate it. To a visitor its a high traffic street for prostitues, drug addicts and homeless with a flashy corner of boutique shops.

With good news, there is certainly less to "sell". I agree with Mike and think the 'writers' should definitely take in and report the ENTIRE street - from east to west. Although, perhaps, it was simply easier to take that narrow view, I believe and entire thing would present a terrific microcosmic example of the larger society - rather than just one slice of the pie.
