I know that I mentioned this in my “reactions to savannah” video, but it seemed to be such a big part of my experience in Savannah. The complete lack of open container laws regarding alcohol baffled me, and continues to baffle me. One of the most fun things was being able to go to a … Continue reading Open Container Laws →

On River Street, there is currently a lot of construction happening on some of the historic building. There used to be a power plant and some other large factories located on the River, which has been decommissioned for a while. Several years ago, the owner of a hotel company named Kessler Collection Hotels bought all … Continue reading Kessler Hotel Project →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60DuzScbVj8 Brief video highlighting River Street River Street is the name given to Savannah’s waterfront, which has pretty much the same deal as the City Market- lots of shops, lots of places to eat, more historical sites. River Street is considered a little more touristy than the rest of Savannah, as you’ll find a lot … Continue reading River Street →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPZYazYmTsg Brief video highlighting Savannah's City Market. The City Market was by far one of my most favorite parts of Savannah. It is a section of shops, restaurants, and bars where people go to hang out, socialize, and have a good time. Most of the “hanging out” takes place near the restaurants, however the City … Continue reading The City Market →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38GFLKqw_7A&t=77s Meeting Kristin and obtaining an interview with her was quite a doozy, even “serendipitous,” as she called it. Kristin is a business owner and harpist living and performing in Savannah, originally from Michigan, she also helps with running a non-profit organization called Girls on the Run, which helps encourage young girls develop healthy lifestyles … Continue reading Interview with Kristin King →

As I’ve kind of mentioned before, Savannah is arranged in a grid-like system of streets and parks. It kind of seems like an overcomplicated tic-tac-toe board, except when you're in the city, it's actually quite simple to navigate. Here is a map for reference: Each square looks pretty much the same; they all have their … Continue reading Historic Squares and Parks →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-Q6P5xzlsI&t=14s This next person I interviewed was the man who approached me with Amanda and asked if I would be willing to help them out with their project. Max was very easy and nice to talk to- he was very approachable and all around, a very sweet guy. Unfortunately, I did have to cut our … Continue reading Interview with Max →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFA-DsMv-ok The first person I interviewed I met very, very unexpectedly. As soon as I arrived in the city, I walked quite aways to Forsyth Park, Savannah's largest and most iconic park, to check it out and get familiar with the area and the sights it had to offer. Almost immediately after arriving to Savannah, … Continue reading Interview with Amanda →

My journey to Georgia was a little wonky. Instead of easily flying out of the Indianapolis airport, we decided to take the cheap route (literally), in that we drove two hours to the Greater Cincinnati airport, and hopped on a plane from there to fly into Savannah. The whole journey took about eight hours- left … Continue reading My Arrival →

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYnyKh1BwQw&feature=youtu.be My first reaction to the environment was quite simple- it’s HOT. Despite Savannah being a town located on the river, it’s located in the Georgia swamp, and it’s humidity is exhausting. The drive from the airport to the actual city was nothing special- we passed a Target and an outlet mall and some other … Continue reading Reactions to Savannah →
