Things Remembered
I am so thrilled with Things Remembered. In addition to have many various items for sale that they will engrave for you, they also allow you to bring in outside items to be engraved. They do charge an extra fee for that, but it's worth it. The took great care of my item and did a wonderful job engraving it. Perhaps most importantly, they double- and triple-checked with me how I wanted the engraving done. It wasn't like engraving an item that they sell, where if they messed it up they could get another one off the shelf. My item was one of a kind. I am so thrilled with the results. I'd recommend them to anybody who needs an item engraved.
Whitmire Jr Fred C Dds
"Dr. Fred loves me." That's what the stickers said that Dr. Fred would give you after you came in for a cleaning. And it was true. Dr. Fred is so gentle, and so kind, and he understands kids so very well. He always reminded me of Mr. Rogers (from PBS) in a way, because he was so patient and understanding and you always felt like you could trust him. Dr. Fred does pediatric and adolescent dentistry as well as orthodontia. Whether your children are 2 years old or 18 years old, I highly recommend taking them to see Dr. Fred.
Millenia West Apartments
I rented an apartment from Windover for two years. Had I continued to rent, I would've stayed there. Windover offered the perfect floor plan for what I needed/wanted at a very good price. The office staff was friendly. The mailbox area was well lit. And the apartment complex was gated. That was a nice touch, though I think it was more for looks than security. I'd recommend renting from them if you're looking for an affordable apartment that isn't falling to pieces.
Mystic Pointe Ii Apartments
To get an apartment at Mystic Pointe, you have to meet income requirements. You have to make over a certain amount as well as under a certain amount. Those amounts change based on what size apartment you live in and how many people live there with you. Personally I think the window is a pretty narrow one, and it's all a big con game anyway. They're billing these as luxury apartments and charging people too much for them, people who they know don't have a lot of income. I'm happy to say that I did my homework before signing a lease with these folks, and I don't regret going elsewhere.
Millennium Pointe
I couldn't wait until my lease at the Ashley Pointe apartments was over. During my 12 months there, there were at least 5 raids on the apartment next to me for drugs. After talking with some of the other residents in other parts of the complex, I heard similar stories from them. The apartment itself was in okay shape. It wasn't perfect, but who really wants tiles that are on the wall at right angles anyway? Crooked and lopsided tiles are SO much more interesting to look at. Actually I don't think there was a single right angle in the whole apartment. Glad I'm out of there now.
Hickory Valley Apartments
I loved living in the Hickory Valley Apartments. The 1-bedroom floor plans weren't cramped. There was tons of closet space, which was just wonderful. The mailbox area was well-lit at night, so I never felt unsafe stopping to pick up my mail after dark. The office staff was always friendly, and after the second or third time they saw you, they called you by name. That was a nice touch. The maintenance staff was phenomenal. First of all, I rarely needed to call the maintenance staff. Everything was in pretty good shape. But when I did have to call, I always got an immediate response. I was so impressed by this apartment complex's way of running things, it was almost sad to leave. If I ever had to rent an apartment in Chattanooga again, the first place I would look would be Hickory Valley Apartments.
Storables
I was drawn to this store's name and big flashy sign that promised 50% savings. Ha! Even at 50% off, the items this store sells to help you organize your space and your life are still many times higher than what they should cost. I couldn't believe they wanted $100 (on sale for $50) for a white pressboard shoe organizer for the floor of your closet. That's insane. The whole store was insane. No wonder they have to have 50% off sales to get people to buy anything. Seriously, if you have the money to buy stuff here, spend it on hiring somebody professional to custom design an organizing system for your closet instead of wasting your time and money with this overpriced store. I wouldn't be surprised if they went out of business.
B Dalton Bookseller
When I buy books, I do one of two things: either I order them online, or I go to a huge bookstore like Barnes and Noble. I order online when I want to save time. I go to Barnes and Noble when I want to take my time, relax, browse through a gazillion books, and maybe even order an overpriced coffee and dessert and sit down and chat with a friend for a while. B. Dalton Booksellers fits neither of those reasons. It's too small to have all the perks that I mentioned for Barnes and Noble, and it's nothing like logging onto Amazon.com and clicking a few times and being done. I don't see where the market is for small non-specialty bookstores.
Yankee Candle Co
I have to admit I don't quite understand the phenomenon that is Yankee Candle Company. I don't burn that many candles anyway. But I do love this store. There's something about how beautifully the candles on display are arranged that makes the store very inviting. The smell is strong -- I wouldn't call it overwhelming, but I'm sure there may be some folks with more sensitive noses who disagree with me. To me it's a comforting atmosphere. The sales staff is always friendly, and I haven't run into a pushy sales clerk there yet. Maybe, just maybe, I'll eventually figure out how a store like this can stay in business when all it sells is candles (and similar items). For now I enjoy browsing.
Davlins
I couldn't help but smile as I entered this store. This was the first time I'd ever been in a Davlins. I hadn't even heard the name before. And I was very impressed. If you need something decorative and fun for your home, or your cabin at the lake, or your house in the woods, this is the place to come. I admit the sign in the window that read "BEWARE OF WIFE" is what drew me in. How clever. I wasn't even in the store for 10 seconds before I was politely greeted by the saleslady. She seemed geniunely friendly -- not like she was just saying hello because it was part of her job. She wasn't pushy, either, but she was always visible to you so you could approach her with any questions you might have.
