Masterful Iron Work
by Pawtuxet
You couldn't take a picture of every beautiful example of iron work in Savannah. There are so many fabulous entrances, railings, scrollwork adorning more scrollwork. It's a pleasure to just walk the streets of the district discovering something beautiful everywhere you turn.

The American South has a tradition of great writers from Faulkner to Styron to Welty. Flannery O'Connor is one of the most important of all. Reading her stories gives you a sometimes odd glimpse into life in the South. Her childhood home is in Savannah on E. Charlton St.
Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist
by cobrioc
This is the oldest Roman Catholic church in Georgia and seat of the Catholic Diocese of Savannah. It was organized in 1799 and erected its first house of worship on Liberty Square. A second and larger church was built on Drayton Street, at Perry, in the 1830's. In 1876, the first rendition of the current Victorian Gothic Cathedral was built. This structure was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1898. The cathedral was rebuilt, based on the original design, by architects Baldwin and Price within the framework of the original walls. The cathedral has several notable elements including magnificent stained glass windows from Innsbruck Austria, wall murals, Sarouk Persian rugs, a high alter of Italian Marble and coats of arms of Pope John XXIII and Bishop Thomas J. McDonough

Savannah's favorite restaurant... ask any local!
by spoonee8 about Spanky's Pizza Galley and Saloon
If you're looking for a laid-back place to relax, and meet with friends, then this is the place. What makes things even better is the fact that the food here is great; it's made fresh and it's very affordable. With a spacious and comfortable interior, Spanky's also has a great bar with bartenders than can satisfy your need for that special drink. The chicken fingers with "spuds" should not be missed... make sure you ask for the special honey to go with it. Not to be outdone, the pizza that they create here is second to none. I recommend the thin crust style. A "small" sized pizza is actually enough for two people to eat. Wash it all down with Savannah's famous "sweet tea" and you'll see why this is Savannah's favorite restaurant.
