Lafayette Square is gorgeous…read more We dropped by and between the trees with their spanish moss sweeping low over the green grass and brick pathways--we were charmed. It's also home to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, which we stopped by while were were there as well. There's a beautiful fountain in the center of the square that makes for a lovely focal point. There are plenty of benches along the brick pathways for lingering as well. We enjoyed a leisurely afternoon here of reading in lovely weather while listening to the sound of the fountain in the distance.

This is a tough one. It's hard to know what kind of "Service" to expect from a courthouse. We…read moreemployed their services so the better half and I could become legally wed. The first thing you encounter is the "No Nonsense" Security. They ARE NOT messing around. If you are a visitor from out of town, this can seem incredibly off putting. They don't care if you are a tourist, they don't want to make your stay in Savannah the best it can be. They want to get you the heck through security safely. Be ready. Don't expect service with a smile. Second, the person responsible for our marriage license did seem to be a joyless bureaucratic machine, but we did get our license completed with no fuss or muss. The person after us was there to renew his carry permit and he also went away with what he came for. In-between we had some random person who wanted to ask "A quick question". She disallowed this to continue to focus on the business at hand and directed them to someone who was not involved in an activity. So while I don't disagree with Karen D's assessment, I think they do provide the customer the service they arrived for, they just rarely do it with a smile.

Truly a beautiful tree. If you love the Angel Oak in South Carolina, you will also love this tree…read more It's not as huge, but it has an amazing history.

Oak trees are most likely included in any description or picture of Savannah. That's what makes up…read morethe charm of this city, coupled with the Spanish Moss draping over the oak's large canopy and it makes even the not-so-nice parts of town, still so pretty! Candler Oak, however is a special oak tree. It is one of the oldest living landmarks in Savannah and os estimated to date back to around the 1700s. Thankfully, in the 80's, a group of citizens formed a group when the tree was at a risk of dying and have made great efforts in keeping this tree alive and protected. History was made when the group obtained the first conservation easement on a single tree. - Parking - Street parking. - Location - It's located right next to Forsyth Park, on Drayton and E Gaston Street, on SCAD's Ruskin Hall's property. There is an iron gate that surrounds the tree that is kept under lock and key. You can't get past the gate. As we visited it today, there were a group of workers, repaving the cement walls that surround it from the street. It looks like the cement walls have slowly collapsed over the years and there were quite large cracks to the foundation. The information board is also contained inside the gated area. According to the board, the last time they measured the tree was in 2003 and it is as follows: Diameter - 65 inches Circumference - 17 feet Height - 54 feet Width of the canopy - 110.25 feet - Fun facts - 2001 - Designated a Georgia Landmark & Historic Tree 2004 - Placed on National Register of Historic Trees Tip: There is actually a Dot bus stop right in front of it and Dots are free to ride in Savannah. If you're walking around Forsyth Park, it's definitely worth going over to the end of Forsyth Park to see this beautiful tree.

There are 22 squares and we were located near Oglethorpe Square, resembles a small park but lots of historical significance. Oglethorpe was the founder of Georgia.

The hubby and I rode the free bus around town. Like any city, there are good parts and not so good ones. Amazing food and Southern Hospitality. There are also lots of ghost stories and places that attract those interested in "haunted" places. I heard so many awesome things about Savannah before making the trip. Would definitely love to return but would choose a month with milder temperatures.

A friend of mine told me to go to St. Mary's community center. I called and left a message the Director called me back right away. She gave me the email and I sent in my prescription from Walmart and she said it could be up to $75.00 but I got them for $35.00. I picked out my pair when I went in and it took six weeks to get them back but for that wasn't a big deal. Five years without glasses what's another five years, right? When they came in I got them adjusted at My Eye Doctor and they were slightly irregular but they were able to fix that. I felt like there was a lot of love and care for their Clients and I cherish my new glasses that I got through the Charity. I think wealthy people and the Local Eyeglass places donate their slightly irregular frames for the Indigent Community.
