They have their own cops in those areas. My grandparents lived on S. Willow Street when I was little. I came to Chattanooga from Florida to stay with them in the summer. When we first moved to TN from FL, we had to live with them. My grandmother educated me on the areas we didn’t go. I went to East Side Jr. High for the last part of the 8th grade. I was pretty much the only white kid there. I was so glad to leave Chattanooga and move to Cleveland when I started high school. We lived in the Old Fort/Buck’s Pocket area. Big difference between Polk Co. and Hamilton Co. back then. LOL
There’s still a big difference between Polk and Hamilton counties. I’d love for us in the norther part of Hamilton to secede from the county, start our own school system, and basically quit kowtowing to the city of Chattanooga itself.
