The founder of Ruby Falls granddaughter works at Mountain memories! My friend and I listened to her amazing stories and especially the legendary ones that she was told by her grandparents.

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and so glad we stopped to talk to her and give her business. I hope to make it back up there soon to see her. She is keeping her families legacy alive and being told to you their stories by her.

While this is not an overly large store, they effectively maximize their space to offer a great variety of both new and used albums. The value proposition is frequently accentuated via the many sales events offered both on-line and at the store, throughout the year. You need help, advice, assistance in tracking down a hard to find record, Ben and his team are jolly on the spot, each and every time. Throughout the year Ben demonstrates over and over just how committed he is to our local community......can I give him six stars?

Calling all vinyl lovers! I highly recommend stopping in Yellow Jacket Records! Last weekend, my…read moreMom channeled my Dad's spirit by wanting to go to the Hixson location of Books A Million and wanting to check out Yellow Jacket Records. Books and music - my Dad's two favorite things. While at Yellow Jacket Records, Mom found a free record by Harry Chapin's brother, who she and Dad had met many years ago. I found a rare record that Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger collaborated on as well as a classic Joan Baez album. The store owner and staff were so nice and fun to talk too too! Adding this place to my monthly experience list.

At some point in Chattanooga, someone looked at the river and said, "You know what this waterfront…read moreneeds? A boat full of MoonPies." And honestly... respect for the vision. Down along the riverfront sits MoonPie General Store, tucked into an old riverboat permanently docked by the park. It actually took me a minute to realize the store was on the boat. From the outside you're just enjoying a beautiful stroll along the Tennessee River, great views, people walking dogs, the whole scenic downtown vibe... and then suddenly you realize you can board a boat that sells snacks and souvenirs. That's a pretty solid plot twist for a casual afternoon walk. Step inside and the place is packed with just about everything you can imagine. T-shirts, hats, magnets, Chattanooga souvenirs, gifts, candy, and of course the star of the show... MoonPies. And not just the standard ones you find at a gas station. They've got flavors you won't see anywhere else outside of MoonPie headquarters territory. Shelves of them. Stacks of them. Enough varieties that you start convincing yourself this is clearly a "research project" and you should probably try several. "You walk in for one MoonPie and five minutes later you're conducting a full-scale snack expedition." The staff were friendly, the atmosphere is quirky in the best possible way, and the whole experience just feels... fun. It's the kind of stop that makes a riverfront walk a little more memorable. Now for the small reality check. The prices. Let's just say the souvenir math starts getting interesting real fast. A few items had me doing that slow head tilt you do when you're trying to remember if inflation suddenly doubled while you were walking down the river. But here's the micro twist. I still walked out with a bag full of MoonPies. Because when you're standing on a riverboat in downtown Chattanooga buying rare MoonPie flavors, logic takes a short coffee break. Bottom line, MoonPie General Store is a quirky, fun stop along the riverfront with a great selection and a cool setting you won't find anywhere else. Just come prepared to spend like you're at Disney World... and leave with more MoonPies than you originally planned.

The shop is spotless, well-organized, and filled with unique Southern treats, vintage candy, fun souvenirs, and of course, MoonPies in every flavor you could imagine. They even had flavors you can't buy in the stores locally. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, offering samples and sharing a bit of the store's history. Everything felt personal and genuine, which made the experience even better. I loved browsing the gift items. From classic snacks and locally made goodies to quirky Nashville keepsakes, there's something for everyone. And of course, the MoonPies were absolutely delicious, soft, sweet, and perfectly fresh. I even grabbed a few to take home, and they didn't last long! If you're in downtown Nashville, this is a must-stop spot, whether you're craving something sweet, shopping for souvenirs, or just want a fun, nostalgic experience. The MoonPie General Store captures the true spirit of Southern hospitality and leaves you smiling from start to finish. It was truly a unique and great experience, and I love that it's literally on a boat lol

We were the only ones in there and then two others joined us. I would NEVER suggest this but what I thought was random became really uncomfortable as a worker seemed to follow us in each room. My son was in one room, my little one in the kids section with me and my husband looking around. She just kept popping in and not asking if we needed help but just watching us. I didn't have a purse or a bag with me. I am darker and my husband and kids are lighter. I was going to brush it off when my little one went to pay for us books and then sat in the front room in the couch. It was just us and here she came again but sat down her laptop across from us. Now I am a mix of annoyed and pissed off. Would you like for us to spend money there or make us so uncomfortable we leave? My oldest picked up on it and asked what the deal was. I finally said out loud to my husband "why does she keep following us in every room?" I didn't want to make a scene so we went across the street and enjoyed some yummy goodies. I have no idea what that was about but that was the worst experience I've ever had in Chattanooga and we were from NYC. Please do better!'n
