Beautiful weather, cool breezes, streets jam-packed, bars and restaurants overflowing with beautiful and interesting people from all over. Met so many cool people, had so many neat conversations, saw so many very heartwarming and fun things -- like a mass group-participation chess match on the oversized board in City Market between a young white boy here on vacation with his family and a black Savannah homeless man. (He let the boy win!)

Folks, if you don't ever get downtown on the weekends you're really missing out on the heart and soul of what makes Savannah such an awesome place to live -- and obviously to visit!

Alas, I am now home. I love going downtown on the weekends but it's getting harder and harder to stay out much past 12-1 am (it does get a little scary after that IMO).

Good thing you went home early. Just witnessed a guy fire 6 shots in city market then run away.

I was literally like 50 feet next to it. I heard one shot, turned around and saw everybody scrambling and then saw the gunman shoot 5 more times and then run through Ellis square.

Ugh, not sure I've seen a thread turn from pleasant to horrific so quick.

Hope the injured are OK and the shooter gets caught soon and locked up for a long time.

Glad you didn't get hurt, TDK.

I'm sick to my stomach and feel like such a fool.

This **** has got to stop. Let's see if Savannah's "leaders" even raise a peep.
