There are so many great places to eat in Savannah that you can not go wrong on selecting any of the places on River Street; however, our favorite seafood place is River House which is on River Street. Food is great, salad is prepared in front of you, bread is baked in house and the coffee is awesome. They use a coffee press. The prices are fair and the service is also very good. ... See More

The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace—a Girl Scout national center in Savannah, Georgia—has something to offer everyone. It is the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts of the USA, who was affectionately known by her family and friends as "Daisy."

Buried not far under the surface of downtown Savannah, beneath the dainty gift boutiques and scenic, moss-covered city squares, are the graves of the earliest residents of Savannah. Two yellow fever outbreaks, two wars, a hurricane, and a devastating fire contributed to the untimely demise of many poor souls who claimed the "Jewel of the South" as their home. As Savannah grew, city planning moved many of the deceased to new burial grounds, but just as many were left behind in not-quite restful sleep under the city streets and celebrated architecture that make up downtown.

Growing up as the son of an airline pilot, I got to travel all over the United States. It seemed that every place I visited, I enjoyed. Why, you may ask? I am the type of person that loves history and any type of adventure.

Savannah, the oldest city in Georgia and referred to as the "Jewel of the
South" was founded by James Oglethorpe. A solider, member of Parliament, and
visionary, he founded Savannah and the colony of Georgia in 1733 as a
venture to benefit indebted Englishmen. Among other reforms, the new city
was free from lawyers, slavery, and taverns. Although those things did
eventually come, Oglethorpe did leave Savannah the everlasting gift of a
city laid out around a series of squares. The design gives the city a unique
park like atmosphere that is a major element of Savannah’s appeal.
