So, it has been quite a few days since our last post. You can’t imagine how busy we are here at blogsavannah trying to get everything together. We are up to 76 registered attendees. That is about 20 more than we had expected. We have to say thank you to Savannah […]

Get your motor running

Ok, so Atlanta is not exactly Savannah. It is close enough though for this mention. I picked up ‘Atlanta Magazine’ this morning at the local B&N and as I was reading the Best of 2006 I saw a mention of my personal friends and their interstate hijinks around the perimeter or 285 as […]

You have to love the sweet irony of a new police chief who comes to the city with hope in his heart and skeletons in his closet.
