Chattanooga Is Home

This pretty lady is Heidi Chapin. She is a St. Elmo resident and the champion behind getting our playground built. She is the one who has dealt with the city, rallied the neighbors, and been point person with Learning Structures. I know that there are many others who have been working to get to today’s build, but when I think about the St. Elmo Playground, I think Heidi Chapin.

I spoke to Heidi today and told her she didn’t seem too stressed. She said that things were going well and there wasn’t much to be stressed about.

The first day of the build went well. Lots of holes were dug, plenty of concrete was poured, and many posts were raised. I went to the site about five times and each time I came back home, I checked the concept drawings to see if I could match up the different structures to the proposed finished products. The progress that the builders/ neighbors are making is amazing. And I can’t wait until Saturday when I get to actually help on the site. (Today I did home child care for one little boy who’s dad was helping on the site for a few hours.)

Lunch is being provided all days and today the spotlight is on Mojo Burrito, who donated many, many burritos for the teams. Mojo Burrito got its start in St. Elmo. Their approach to making your own burrito making is delicious Their homemade guacamole is really, really good. Mojo Burrito has that hometown feel that I really enjoy when I go there. If you want to experience Chattanooga food, I would say go to Mojo.
