David Carroll is an anchor at WRCB-TV3 the NBC TV affiliate here in Chattanooga. He has been around here for a long time and he gets things on point when it comes to all things Chattanooga. I think he is a great writer and commentator.

We remember these men, we remember that day, we thank them for their service. Grace and peace to my home of Chattanooga, TN as we look back to one week ago. It is all hard to believe.
Good Thursday morning good people! I hope you are all well today and are doing awesome things. We had a thunderstorm this morning but I won’t let that get to me. Now is the time to shine and make stuff happen. Have a great day. The weekend is close at hand.
I’m proud to provide peculiar social commentary and other stuff too my followers. Sometimes has to or something like that. Thanks for hanging out here.
This the scene of one of the shootings of Thursday, July 16, 2015 in Chattanooga, TN. The military recruiting center where the shootings began is located here. A makeshift memorial has been set up in front of this office complex that has been a place where the community has come to pay their respects to the four Marines and one Sailor who lost their lives at a Naval Reserve Center. Media outlets have been broadcasting from here for almost a week sharing the story of the act of terror but most importantly how our community has responded. It is a place where a crime took place and now it is where people are finding a new day, hope and healing.
I am not sure If I would ever want to be a famous blogger…I don’t think I have what it takes to write posts that are on that level. However what would it be like to have some fame because of your blog. My concern is that I enjoy the report with my fellow bloggers and the bigger you get the harder it becomes. I suppose you can’t have friendships with everyone and you need to have a core group of bloggers you have community with. On Tumblr I had 1500 followers at one point and I don’t know if that is ideal. Perhaps the old saying the more the merrier has some merit. Is what I have to say all that important in the scheme of things. Perhaps I should just go for it and not worry so much. Just a few things to ponder as I gain more followers.
