I worked in a school system in this city for three years and although I often had people tell me Chatta. was a good place for bi-racial families, I found that not to be the reality. Chattanooga has A LOT OF racial problems, especially in the school system, and the city neighborhoods are not racially diverse. The minority races live on "their" side of town and all the white people live on "their" side of town. The schools are AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL - overcrowded, decrepit buildings, horrible lack of teaching materials anad teachers with any teaching skills, etc. and a wide disparity of learning levels in every classroom. As for being "scenic", if you call two hills where the rich folk live in order avoid living with those in the "ditch" (read that as poor white trash) between them, "scenic" then you are welcome to it. The cost of living is high and the traffic is horrific. Crime is sky high - murders, rapes, etc. dominate the local news. I moved my bi-racial family to Buena Vista, CO and we are very happy here. You might consider this as a place to move.
