"Scenic Roots" offers conversations that matter in the heart of Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley.From the mountains to the river, our conversations are rooted deep within every corner of our community - reflecting who we are, who we were and who we can become.We engage with the news that affects our community, behind and beyond the headlines. We build bridges that span from creators and innovators to storytellers and the outdoors. We focus on our challenges as many communities in one - as we celebrate what inspires us. We resonate with countless voices - in words and spaces, sounds and songs.We are "Scenic Roots."Ray Bassett hosts and produces "Scenic Roots" at WUTC.

More Than Just A Coffee Shop

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

In Soddy-Daisy - on Dayton Pike, beside Food City - is a place that calls itself a “front porch” - providing coffee and social services to people who otherwise would have no easy access to them.

The Coffee Community Collective - part of Northside Neighborhood House - includes a coffee shop and offices for agencies such as Children’s Advocacy Center and Consumer Credit Counseling Services.
