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.
