St. Elmo has a great little collection of unique shops, restaurants, and attractions, most in or near the central business area. We also have groceries, gas, movies, post office, rec center and library all within walking distance. It's great to have easy access to all of these within easy walking / biking / scooting distance, or for that matter, even if you do drive your car around the neighborhood, using local facilities saves time and gas.

All of that is to say:

1. Support our local businesses!  Help make St. Elmo a viable place to run a small business, shop or restaurant.

2. Spread the word!  Please promote our local businesses to the rest of Chattanooga.

If you have a favorite hangout or shop here in the neighborhood (or you run one yourself) and it is not listed on this site, don't complain that it's not here: do something about it instead! Write a review or tell the proprietor to contact us at St-Elmo.org, and we'll get the info up.
