When crime hits home

Date September 2nd, 2007 Comment 3 Comments

I left the house this morning to head downtown and get some coffee. Imagine my surprise when the scooter wouldn’t start. It wouldn’t even turn over. It was dead. NOTHING!
I mean, it looks like a normal scooter, right?

I lifted up the rubber mat though that is supposed to cover the battery panel keeping it clean […]

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 […]

Vroom, Vroom!

So, after months of riding scooters, BlogSavannah is pleased to see the Downtown Precinct of the Police riding a couple. They were commissioned this morning at City Hall at 11am. They are three-wheel 150cc models. Ordinarily they would require an M classification on their license as well as license plates and insurance. They are pretty […]

I get around

Has anyone else noticed the growing number of scooters in the downtown area? This morning we were meeting at Starbucks when we noticed five scooters parked outside. We know one belongs to one of the managers there and one belongs to the general manager of a popular, local bar. The other three were of different […]

Savannah in serious style

Date December 12th, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

Let’s get serious. The trip from downtown Savannah to Tybee Island is one that should be enjoyed from the cockpit of a Dodge Viper. The backroad of Blufton should be explored by a Hummer. A night to the Lucas should begin and end with a spin in a Bentley. But who […]

This is too cool…

Date October 27th, 2006 Comment 6 Comments

Ok, I know we are not breaking journalistic ground with this report but it is so cool I think WE should be the ones talking about it. Now, put aside the new Clint Eastwood movie and your “Band of Brothers” DVD. I even recommend setting aside personal political agendas and other such thoughts. […]

What are those crazy car-bike things?

Date October 25th, 2006 Comment No Comments

Maybe you have seen something like it in Singapore? Maybe you call it a rickshaw. Perhaps you even thought it was a modern day surry…without the fringe, of course. It isn’t though. You see, Savannah is unique in many ways. One of them being the presence of the Pedicab. […]
