Chattanunich

H's mother would be so proud of her old city to hear that they will be the American headquarters for Volkswagon. German restaurants and signs of welcome are springing up all over 'nooga. Too bad she's dead.

I noticed signs when I was there a few weeks ago so I looked online to find out why there was such a warm and fuzzy German feeling permeating Chattanooga:

One reason is that the planned Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga won’t just make new cars but will be Volkswagen Group of America’s head office for manufacturing.

“There will be a well-educated and high-powered work force,” said Tom Edd Wilson, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce’s chief executive.

O.K. so did Tom Edd Wilson catch any flack for saying that Chattanooga will FINALLY have a "well-educated and high-powered work force"?
