    Overlooking Jones St. Lane
    by madbyron
    Living on Jones Street! Locals have long referred to it as "the one with all the trees." But its more than that. Side by side 1850's rowhouses spotted by the occasional mansion with brick streets and hidden gardens, nooks and niches. It represents all that Savannah is in one single mile street. Neighborly, communal and wonderfully shadowy at night. Its also standing as a divider between the traffic of the riverfront and the suburban southside so it acts as a noise barrier well enough.

    Oooo...you'll have to wait for the book but in the meantime I love walking and walking and walking Savannah's lanes and streets. Its dreamlike and a fantasy for the wanderer in us all. Every square offers its own adventure and encounter and you're guaranteed to have them if you open yourself to the possibility. Stay on a trolley or a tourbus or don't leave River Street then you can forget it and keep moving onto Disney World. If you want real life, then dare it here!

    Don't Rush, Just Soak It All In...

    A Walking City
    by kidkilowatt
    Savannah is such a beautiful city to walk around. Do walk as much as possible in soak in your surrounds. Living in New York, I see many benches but never before have I had the desire to sit down on one just to ponder or soak in the atmosphere. Savannah is such a wonderful place to just take a seat and be at peace with the world. Take advantage of the benches in Savannah's parks and squares.

    Sunshine and blue skies can't be beat.

    Savannah's historic district is adjacent to the Nantucket Clipper's dock on River Street. Savannah brims with southern cultural allure, drawing throngs in search of history, art, architecture and tradition, with emphasis on great houses, black heritage, ghosts and the Civil War era.

    Serving sizes were huge in Savannah in most of the restauratns we visited, but everything is so good that it was hard to stop eating, even when we knew we should call it quits. Come to Savannah with an appetite and take advantage of all the great restaurant serving up hefty portions of local favorites.

    Stop by the Lucas Theater at 32 Abercorn and see if you can find the bullet holes from a supposed drive-by shooting in prohibition times in which several people (I think 11) were killed. The bullet holes are still there, just touched up a bit to make them less noticeable.

    Iron Work
    by kidkilowatt
    There is a history behind Savannah's iron work and it can be seen all throughout the historic city. Just stop by fences or iron trims on the houses as you stroll through Savannah and admire the beauty of this iron work. If you are really interested, you should take a tour of the Savannah iron work.
