Washroom, Bathroom, or Restroom?

Date October 17th, 2006 Comment 2 Comments

There seems to be a phenomena sweeping over the chain restaurant business and is quite prevalent here in Savannah. This bit of mystique is the inability of restaurant owners/designers/managers/etc. to simply write Men or Women on the bathroom doors (respectively, of course) or just put the universal, bubbly sort of image for the two […]

Savannah sets some “lofty” goals

Date October 15th, 2006 Comment No Comments

I am always amazed at the number of lofts that continue to show up on the real estate landscape. It is not just in Savannah either. It is all over. I think the algebraic function behind it is 1X + 1Y = countless numbers. X = person with idea while Y […]

A photographer worth his weight….

Date October 13th, 2006 Comment No Comments

A lot of people write little articles and such that say something to the effect of “Eat Like a Savannian”. I am not quite sure what that means unless you plan on picking up some groceries from Kroger near Forsyth Park or having a cup of morning coffee from one of the 2 million […]

mappyb writes in to us:
We will be coming down from DC to Savannah the weekend of October 27-29 to look for housing. We’re looking for getting the most out of our money, ideally, in a two bedroom house rental, or private-ish apartment with a washer & dryer (and of course, AC). We’d like to rent […]

A thought on parallel parking

Date October 11th, 2006 Comment No Comments

We all know that on Broughton Street here in downtown Savannah there are several parallel parking spots that are marked with “2 Hour Parking Limit”. Now, in other cities when I have seen such a rule I also see parking attendants that walk down the road with something that resembles a piece of chalk […]

Savannah - land of contradiction, it seems

Date October 11th, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

So, I was trying to find out why the purple ribbons were being tied around the Forsyth Park trees and why the huge canopies were being erected when I stumbled upon two other Savannah events. Both are scheduled for October 12 and both are at the same venue. One is in the morning […]
