Actually she could be perfect to help. So 3 years ago I went to see the Forsyth Fountain for first time in 2 decades. Area around there was just like you'd imagine from pictures, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, etc. 1880s beautiful. I'm walking around and just kept going after getting lost. Next thing I know I'm Downtown and make a few more wrong turns. I go down this side street and boom!, I'm in the 1960s! Weirdest architecture you've ever seen. Plastic buildings?, glass buildings from the Jetsons, like being in a movie. I didn't think too much of it at the time because I was overdosing on the traditional Savannah but I want to know more about it now because I don't think there's anything else like it in America. Maybe 4-6 blocks of Mad Men set. I really can't find too much info about it online. Help? Please Margaret. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted July 15, 2021 Share #27 Posted July 15, 2021 I stayed at the Forsyth Inn, directly across the street from the park and fountain. Savannah Bed and Breakfast in the Historic District - Forsyth Park Inn Didn't know it at the time of the booking but being haunted was kind of a secret rumor folklore they would tell about if asked. Had some weird experiences such as the window opening during the night and other guests noted other events. One of my favorite places to eat is the Cotton Exchange Tavern along the river. They make the best, fattest rubens! Many times, if around noon will drive the 16 miles in from I95 - and suffer finding parking - rather than the typical fast food selection along the Interstate exits. When returning from my BIL in SC, it typically is noon and Savanah is the halfway point, so a good time to stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan ★ Posted July 15, 2021 Share #28 Posted July 15, 2021 Savannah is one of the many cities I only got to see the gritty industrial side of unfortunately. If I ever got into the nicer side of town, it was only because I made a wrong turn and was hopelessly lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 15, 2021 Share #32 Posted July 15, 2021 Savannah is a lovely town. Perfect for strolling. We had lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House, not sure if they’re still open but good to check out while you’re there. After lunch we went for a stroll. Began seeing more young people with hair and fashions best described as “self-expression”. My colleague remarked that the local high school must have just released its students for the day. We then came upon the main SCAD campus. I told her, “those are college students. We are getting old” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
