Last week we asked if Chattanooga could have its own Hallmark movie, and if so, what would it look like?
We listed a few reasons why we believed the Scenic City would be the perfect backdrop for a Hallmark movie + included a survey for our readers to provide their thoughts as well. Spoiler alert: you all had a lot of thoughts — 81 of you, to be exact.
Here are a few responses we received that we believe would give the Hallmark executives some inspiration for when they choose Chattanooga as their next filming location:
The Hallmark movie title
“Choo Chooing Home for Christmas” — GL S.
“Reconnecting by the River” — Hope M.
“Bridge City Love” — Bob J.
“LOVEx24″ — Emily V.
“Miracle on Main Street” — Libby L.
Location
“The Choo Choo area with ice skating and Main Street shopping.” — Tamra T.
“They must walk the Walnut Street Bridge and go hiking.” — Anna R.
“They keep meeting up in all different coffee shops. Rembrandts, Be Caffeinated, Sleepyhead, and more!” — Erica T.
“The DREAMY Bluff View Arts District.” — Ashley A.
“NorthShore area (boutique shops, Coolidge Park, Pedestrian Bridge) major scene would happen near West Village though.” — Ari R.
Major plot points
“One [of the characters is from] out west or up north and is here exploring and writing a piece [on Chattanooga].” — Diane M.
“Hiking world traveler meets local hiker.” — Rebecca S.
“Dream sequence traveling back in time to the 40s when the Chattanooga Choo Choo ran.” — Monica H.
“There will be a horse-drawn carriage at some point and the horse WILL run red lights (happened to my husband and me years ago!)” — Courtney E.
“Two strangers meet in a holiday-themed bar in Chattanooga and have a quick chat(t). They end up seeing each other again at MAINx24, and then the rest is history.” — Brianna W. (yes, Editor Brianna did fill out the survey)
Who plays the lead
“Rachel Boston Hallmark star and Chattanooga resident!” — Guy L. (Rachel Boston was born in Chattanooga + was a former resident of Signal Mountain, she now lives in Nashville.)
“Danica McKeller, who recently moved her family to Tennessee.” — Dawn A.
“Taylor Swift.” — Chloé M.
“I don’t know, but if Dolly Parton could have a Mrs. Claus cameo, I’m 100% in.” — Blair G.
“Any of the NOOGAtoday ladies.” — Henry C. (Your move, Hallmark)
