Recycling…bah humbug

Date October 5th, 2007 Comment 7 Comments

The new curbside recycling petition is being passed around (see the post below), although what happened to the first one that circulated a few months back isn’t exactly clear. Everyone who has signed it has been supportive of jumping on the “green” bandwagon and getting Savannah up to par environmentally with other cities across the […]

Bull_________ Street

Date October 5th, 2007 Comment 3 Comments

We’ll let you fill in the blank. So, what are we referring to? Well, it seems that the Metropolitan Planning Committee (a national organization that doesn’t seem to have a website) has named Bull Street one of the 10 great streets in the nation due to its good working and living environment, architectural features, accessibility, […]

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 […]

What do you want from your mayor?

Date August 25th, 2007 Comment 6 Comments

We were out last night doing whatever it is bloggers do downtown on a Friday night when lo’ and behold we found ourselves across the room from one mayoral candidate. It was rather odd since lately we have been accused of making a mock site seemingly supporting the buffoon for candidacy. The team moved in […]

Keep Savannahs streets safe. Stay off of them.

Date January 6th, 2007 Comment 2 Comments

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. Just yesterday Police Chief Michael Berkow locked himself and several police officers, city officials, and school officials in a room at the Savannah mall for the first […]

Asking for recycling in SAV

Date December 10th, 2006 Comment 3 Comments

I received this email this morning and decide to post it. It is a petition sponsored by DC4 asking Savannians to let our local government know we are ready for recycling. In fact, the wait is getting a bit ridiculous now. The letter begins…
To: Dr. Otis Johnson and City Officials of […]

A city proud of its waste

Date November 20th, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

So, the children’s literature festival was a success this weekend. I was able to pop in on a few story telling times and even meet a couple of local authors that are publishing their first children’s book. And as an unknown surprise I was able to drop by the City Mission Feast just […]

Blog Alert!

Date November 15th, 2006 Comment 3 Comments

It is about time we were let into the city council inner sanctum. Albeit it is vicariously through this blog, written by Scott Larson and his City Unfiltered blog on the SavannahNOW site. It is good stuff though and Scott has a great wit about his writing. So, today, we dedicate our […]

Historic landmark or hell of a landmark?

Date November 11th, 2006 Comment 11 Comments

Lately we’ve been sitting around the office talking about the history of Savannah and the architectural legacy that has been left for us. Savannah is blessed to have 24 immaculate squares, buildings such as the Telfair and the Lucas Theatre, shanty shacks lining Broad Street, homes like the Hamilton-Turner and the Mercer, and post-war […]
