Rock n' Roll, artista! Never been myself. sounds grayt! Have funn. Can hardly wait for pix!

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've lived in the south 22 years and have never been to Savannah, Georgia.
I'm making an out of the way sidetrip, going to be there all day, for one day, Friday September 28th, then heading to Greensboro, North Carolina Saturday night to see
VAN HALEN.


Thanks,

Never been...sorry, My fav song by VH is
Panama

I can see you singing this....

I've never been to Savannah myself either. Am planning a trip to North Georgia to do a bit of trout fishing and spending a couple days in Savannah and along the coast of Georgia approximately the same time. Maybe we can get together and I'll let you buy me a drink

I'll be wearing these:

Have you heard of Cumberland Island off the coast of southern Georgia? Wild horses run free on the beach. Wonder if they have tour boats from Savannah? http://www.tribeequus.com/easternusa.html http://home.att.net/~thepone/feral/cumber.htm

I have only been once, but knowing what interests you, I advise you to go downtown and look around the area near SCAD. A number of cool shops, old churches and houses, cemeteries and of course, the squares. Wear comfy shoes!

Save your trip till March 17th. Jfunn and I left our mark on that city a couple of years ago...

Get a mind eraser at the Warehouse;-)

There are some decent restaurants along the river in Savannah, but if you want good eats and a great atmosphere you should check out The Crab Shack! It's on the road between Savannah and Tybee Island just beyond Ft.
Pulaski. Here's a link...

Yum, I could dive in to that crab mountain right now.

Try the Olde Pink House, 23 Abercorn, 912-232-4286. A 1880-type building but very elegant. Nice bar and fireplace in the basement. We've eaten there many times. Don't forget the shecrab soup! The last time we were in Savannah we didn't have a reservation and there was a 2 hour wait.

It is a beautiful city. You can see the Forrest Gump bench and there is a tour for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil book, known to locals simply as the Book.

There is a great trolley tour that will show all the best of the city and the 24 squares they are famous for. You can get off at any stop and get back on at your leisure.

There is ghost tour at night if you are into that. It was fun. The Mercer House is famous for its architectural style.

The Pirate's House built in 1794 and now home to a famous resturant featuring a maze of rooms.

Independent Presbyterian Church was founded in 1755 and is considered to be one of the most important Federal style designed churches in the country.

Savannah is very compact and there are several good walking tours.

Famous places to eat, Paula Deen's Lady and Sons, Mrs. Wilke's (breakfast is heart attack waiting to happen) and the Pirate House. Of course with that comes large crowds. Lunch at Mrs. Wilkes is the most crowded.

The Crabshack that was mentioned is really good and Tybee Island has a beautiful lighthouse.

Clary's Cafe has been a favorite since 1903 but became famous after the Book. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The Exchange Tavern and Restuarant on River Street is the oldest restaurant on the river. It was once a cotton warehouse.

Thank's y'all! I can't wait to get there. An avid fan of "the book" of course I finally have to do that tour. However I hadn't considered Tybee Island-and I love lighthouses!
I can't get enough Paula Deen so her restaurant may be a must see.
Love the suggestions- keep 'em coming!

The drive to Tybee Island is not that far and you can combine it with a meal at the Crabshack. It is worth seeing for lighthouse fan.

Savannah is one of my favorite places to visit.

Here is a link to info about getting in the Lady and Sons

I'm so jealous that I can't even breathe. What I wouldn't do to see Van Halen again...

Wild horses running free on the beach = crap on the beach, and I don't mean tents.

Mrs. Wilkes, she's no longer, but her place is still serving. Am I correct on this??
