Lawd Ha' Moicy! When was yoo deya?
You tokin' bout my neck O' da woods now.
I grew up in Claxton Ga, just 60 miles west of Savannah, spent a fair amount of time traipsing through Forsyth park.
Love that city. "The Beautiful Lady with a Dirty Face" it was called by some yankee in the early 20th century, but that phrase caused a revival movement and many of the city's oldest landmark structures which had been slated for demolition were saved and restored.
Unfortunately, whatever was there before that parking garage was constructed wasn't saved.
City market and River St are great spots to visit, Lafayette Square is another, not to mention the many antebellum homes on the various squares and side streets.

"The Beautiful Lady with a Dirty Face" - we heard that term many times and we think it's a perfect description of Savannah. We really loved our time there. It's a shame about the lost squares of Savannah but I'm glad that they're no preserving rather and destroying their history.
Stay tuned for many more Savannah posts coming up. Thank you so much for stopping by!
You didn't answer the question: When were you there? I saw the fountain all frozen, but I also saw photos from warmer times as well.
Just curious
Ah, sorry ... our initial For 91 Days was end of November 2010 on and we came back for 3 weeks in 2016 to update the blog. The frozen photos where from our first visit.
