I thought this would be a cool post for Thanksgiving Day. It was written by a loyal blogsavannah reader about her experience here in in SAV-town.
Living in Savannah
I’m a foreigner living in Savannah*. I have US citizenship, and I’ve always considered myself (at least in part) an American, but it is truly a foreign culture […]

As we sat this morning at one of the outdoor tables at Panera drinking our Starbucks coffee having our weekend staff meeting, we all seemed to notice the number of bicycle riders, runners, and other general exercisers going down Bull Street either through squares or on their way around them. It brought up the question […]

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

So here I sit

I will be the first to admit that I am no anti-corporate snob. I love Starbucks. I love Dunkin Donuts. I prefer Fresh Market over a shady “farmer” at the local Saturday produce fair anyday. So it should come as no surprise that tonight I blog from the freshly minted Panera Bread on the corner […]

The Florida conundrum

Date December 17th, 2006 Comment 3 Comments

Richard Florida proved to be a big success here in Savannah. His visit didn’t come without controversy though as the evening began with a few flier-toting protestors outside of the theatre and few skeptics on the inside.

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…

Venus rising

Date November 4th, 2006 Comment No Comments

I know that not everyone enjoys a good glass of wine; either by itself or with a meal. However, I am certainly NOT one of those people. In fact, at any given time you can come to my apartment and enjoy a red from chile, a blanc from France, a bit of bubbly from […]

It’s all Greek to me..

Date October 25th, 2006 Comment No Comments

I had the great pleasure today to spend some time with the Rev. Father Vasile Miahi at St. Pauls Greek Orthodox Church in Savannah, GA. We spoke about the role of iconography in faith practice and just what these icons mean to the face of religion. He is an amazingly versed man in […]
