One of our most-read articles is about how local billboard company Reagan Advertising jumped on the Bernie bandwagon and put the now-iconic inauguration photo of the Vermont senator on digital signs around town.

The business did it because they could and thought it would provide a laugh. (It did.) And that got us thinking about what we’d want to put on a billboard if we had the opportunity.

Chloé here. I might like to put a collage of all the Chattanooga businesses I miss the most on the billboard. Or does it seem like the right place for a short original poem? No? OK. Gotcha.
