https://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/georgia/savannah Savannah is such a warm, welcoming city that you may find it especially easy to get acquainted with the “Hostess City,” as it is known to those smitten by its hospitality and charm. Savannah, Georgia’s oldest city, began its modern history on February 12, 1733, when James Oglethorpe and 120 colonists arrived at Yamacraw Bluff on the Savannah River to found what would be the last British colony in the New World. For a century and a half, the city flourished as a bustling port and was the departure point for cotton being shipped around the world. It was America’s first planned city and is perhaps most recognized for its 22 squares, the diverse group of parks that dot the Historic District. Although Savannah was spared during the Civil War, the city fell on hard times soon afterward. Cobwebs replaced cotton in the dilapidated riverfront warehouses. Historic buildings languished; many were razed or allowed to decay. The tide finally turned in the 1950s, when residents began a concerted effort—which continues to this day—to restore and preserve the city’s unique architectural heritage. The past plays an important role in Savannah. Standing in a tranquil square surrounded by historic homes, it’s easy to feel as if you have stumbled through a portal into the past. Don’t be fooled though, as the city offers much more than antebellum nostalgia for moonlight and magnolias. Savannah is home to several colleges and universities, including the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), and since 2000 in particular has seen a surge of creative energy and development, especially along its namesake river.

https://gardenandgun.com/feature/savannahs-moment/ CITY PORTRAIT Savannah’s Moment No living museum, Georgia’s colonial capital is charging into the twenty-first century and beyond By BRUCE FEILER April/May 2017 My father calls it the Greatest Walk in America. “Park your car at Forsyth Park,” he says, referring to the Spanish-mossed jewel of Savannah, the thirty-acre antebellum landmark on the southern edge of the historic district. After pausing at the wedding-cake fountain with the spouting Tritons, head north along Bull Street to the river. Turn right when you hit the cobblestones on River Street, and then right again when you hit the Waving Girl, the graceful tribute to lovelorn icon Florence Martus sculpted by Felix de Weldon, the artist behind the Iwo Jima Memorial. Weaving south through the landscaped heraldry of Savannah’s squares—Washington, Greene, Oglethorpe, Lafayette—make your way back to the Confederate Monument in the middle of Forsyth Park. “I bet I’ve sent forty people on that walk over the years,” says my eighty-two-year-old father, a fourth-generation native who so loves talking up his beloved hometown to unsuspecting strangers, seatmates, even bathroom-stall neighbors, that we nicknamed him a professional Savannahian.
