Hm thanks for that link News. I loooove the painted signs around town. And murals. Like Bradley Lock & Key. "We Fix Anything But a Broken Heart"

With Savannah it's the details. Like fish downspouts or those neat metal bus stop signs. Brick sidewalks, and tree lawns that are just a bit different on each block.

^^^^^ very interesting picture. Down the block in the private parking lot of the law firm I deal with, under their name, someone graffitied "cheesy". LOL. Think I should give them a call.

The Victorian District in Savannah makes a top 10 list | WJCL News

Immediately south of Savannah’s National Landmark Historic District is its Victorian District, a downtown neighborhood developed in the second half of the 19th century as a streetcar suburb of the original city. Designed in a compact, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use development pattern with a modified ward structure and street grid, the Victorian District’s short city blocks and mix of residential and commercial establishments and parks make it one of Savannah’s most walkable neighborhoods.

This is rather bizarre. Something tells me Richard Kessler's people paid for this story. Oh, and did y'all know Savannah is the "oldest city in the America?"

Oh great, Does this mean we have to wrestle the St Augustine people, or the Plymouth people?

Not really about Savannah per se, but the city was selected to be a test site next year for the 2020 census. Here's the reasoning behind the decision from the census bureau.

The Savannah area was chosen for its demographic diversity, level of computer ownership and being an area that represents a specific media market.
