Happy Thursday, Nooga. We’re out of the office today at our annual company retreat. This year we’re visiting Greenville, South Carolina.

So, here’s a little #TBT on the top stories we’ve covered this year. Just in case you missed them…

○ West End developers laid out their vision for 112 acres of prime real estate along the Tennessee River, where manufacturer Alstom used to be. Planners dubbed the area — which will have office space, townhomes, condos + entertainment and food options — the West End.

○ TopGolf is, in fact, coming. When we wrote about it in July, the news was just breaking but now we know that the multimillion-dollar venue that will take up a 16-acre tract near Camp Jordan in East Ridge is slated to open next summer.

○ Market South opened to warm responses in September. The new food hall includes a brewery and coffee shop + several food options, from pizza to Indian street food.

○ CBD shops have been popping up all over NOOGA + we gave you a guide to understanding the substance, which — unlike THC — doesn’t get you high. Instead, it’s used to treat a variety of ailments.

○ The second annual Lookout Comedy Festival went off without a hitch this year. From exciting headliners (think DeAnne Smith and Hilliary Begley), to variety shows + a poppin’ after-party, this festival really set the stage for next year’s, so be on the lookout, y’all.
