How about a smaller city with more cultural stuff to do?
Greensboro is larger but feels about the same size as Savannah because of Savannah's more urban and larger downtown...and Savannah's cultural scene outdoes Greensboro by a mile, although GSO does have the advantage of having Winston-Salem right next door - which happens to be a wonderful arts city on it's own.
I've lived in Greensboro and only visited Savannah, but IMO Savannah wins hands down. I do love Greensboro, but I have to be honest.
