Memories and tributes have been flowing in the past week - here in Chattanooga and around the world - for Sam Gooden. A native of this city and an original member of the iconic R&B group The Impressions, Sam died last week at the age of 87.
This year, the Read House in downtown Chattanooga is celebrating its 150th anniversary - the longest continuously operating hotel here in the Southeast. Next week, the festivities turn to filling a time capsule - Wednesday, August 17th from 4 PM to 6 PM at the hotel.
