A weekly series in The Chattanooga Times Free Press - which began a little more than a year ago - looks back at the city’s past, one photo at a time.

The series is called “Remember When, Chattanooga?”

 

 

 
Mark Kennedy writes the stories in the series - and the photos are on loan from ChattanoogaHistory.Com, a website created by Sam Hall.

Sam is an amateur historian who started collecting and publishing vintage photos of Chattanooga back in 2014.

I spoke with them earlier this month.
