Chattanooga to be in Southern Livings November Issue

When Southern Living writer Eric Crevar wandered into the Winder Binder folk art gallery in North Chattanooga earlier this month, owner David Smotherman said he chatted him up just like all of the customers who venture into the eclectic gallery and book store.
"I'm just such a talker when it comes to talking about the city and I ended up talking to him for about two hours," Smotherman said.
After discovering Crevar was spending the weekend in Chattanooga doing "research" for an upcoming feature on the city, Smotherman jumped at the chance to tell him about several of his favorite new places that had popped up since the publication's last feature about the city in 2007.
According to Chattanooga Convention and Visitor's Bureau marketing & public relations manager, Candace Davis, Crevar "visited places all around Chattanooga" over two weekend visits in June and July.
Although Smotherman said the conversation he and Crevar had in the store's "living room" during the most recent visit two weeks ago didn't include much talk about the gallery itself, he was thrilled to learn that his shop was included on staff photographer Gary Clark's shot list for the upcoming feature in the November issue of the popular magazine.
Clark is spending three days in Chattanooga this week taking photographs in nine locations including the Hunter Museum, The Incline Railway, the Walnut Street Bridge, Aleia Restaurant, and the Pickle Barrel among others.
