hometown pride...


2009 VW Jetta Hybrid


FAHRFEGNUGEN!
It's official. The board at Volkswagen in Germany today chose Chattanooga as the site of their new American auto assembly plant. My hometown will start producing my favorite cars at a $1B facility in 2011.

The local press covered it with a special edition. But I was especially pleased to hear and see my hometown mentioned on NPR, the BBC, and in the New York Times. Wundervoll!

Oh, and Outside magazine ranks Chattanooga #2 on their Best Towns of 2008 list. The article even mentions one of my favorite neighborhood haunts for Sunday brunch. Look for the current issue on newsstands now...
