Thai on the feedbag

Date August 30th, 2007 Comment 3 Comments

As of October 28 Ruan Thai is now open at 17 West Broughton Street. Occupying the former Poppy’s (né Coop’s) this Thai restaurant is not a bad offering for the downtown pallet. Their tag line, “Tradition with a tasteful touch” is an accurate one as the place was a bit classy for its space. From […]

You got me…

Yesterday we were given a trivia question to try and solve today. The question was:
What President of the USA served the shortest term in office and why?
I have to admit that I only know half of this question. I do not know the president although I am pretty certain it was prior to the discovery […]

3 Guys and 1 lofty goal

Last night the blogsavannah team (or part of it) was walking down Broughton after a meal of, you guessed it, Thai food, when we heard a diesel sound come rumbling our way. Within a second we were parallel to a large white Excursion with two bikes on the back and one bike-looking thing on the […]

Dearly dishonest

Date August 29th, 2007 Comment 4 Comments

I want to write a quick rant on behalf of ONLY myself. It seems that Savannah is full of mid-twenties to mid-thirties CHEATERS!!!!! Last night at trivia we had to call out cheaters three times. How do they cheat? They call friends on cell phones. They text each other from across the room. (The old […]

As I was perusing the Savannah Magazine site this morning looking for some new (gasp! new? what is new?) content I noticed in italics the words
Bear with us, our website is under contruction
.
It was then that an idea struck me. Why not reconstruct the whole magazine. It could use a facelift right about now. With […]

Keeping you connected

Date August 26th, 2007 Comment 3 Comments

Here at blogsavannah we have been busy with….cough, cough….some other crap that has kept us from saying congratulations to Connect for pushing forward with a new website. If you haven’t seen it yet check HERE. It is a bit brighter in color theme ditching the blacks and greys for more blues and whites and stuff. […]

From this point he is banned

Date August 26th, 2007 Comment 1 Comment

From this moment on (7:54pm on August 26) there will no more posting about James Dewberry, mayoral candidate, on blogsavannah.com. I am basing this on my outrage over the following comment left on blogsavannah:
The name “Do the DEW in the 9-1-2” which was registered with the state of Georgia using a certificate upon my birth, […]

the Dew speaks back

Date August 26th, 2007 Comment 5 Comments

Well, apparently our post about the Dew’s raving lunacism at a Congress Street watering hole this past Friday night inspired him to put fingertips to keyboard and defend himself. I hope you all enjoy his recanting of the tale as much as we did.
Hi Folks,
James Dewberry IS GOING TO STOP SMOKING.
I can tell you that […]
