Savannah is a Great Place to Call Home

Posted by Rebecca Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Most people know that Savannah boasts the largest historic district in the nation. Its rich history is what draws so many to our beautiful city, but there is much more to Savannah than a walk through the past. Brimming with old-world elegance and beauty, Savannah is the perfect blend of southern tradition and artsy, contemporary quirkiness. You can’t help but be wooed by Savannah’s irresistible ambiance.

Strolling down brick-lined sidewalks, flanked by flowering azalea bushes with spanish moss draped lazily over mammoth-sized live oak branches, you’ll find yourself drawn in and never wanting to leave. Savannah works its way into the very fiber of your being. The smell of the marsh, the sound of the saxophone player warming up in the bustling square outside your window each morning, the clip-clop of horse hooves on the street below, these are sounds and smells you’ll never forget.

Walking to your favorite coffee shop, you say hello to the people you’ve come to recognize as you pass them each day. Your dog, a welcome guest in almost every downtown shop, pauses to lap water from one of the many bowls placed lovingly along the sidewalk by shopkeepers and restaurant owners. A drive to the beach will send you across bridges spanning over breath-taking marsh views, with rivers and creeks snaking through. The laid-back lifestyle of Savannah’s islands (Wilmington, Whitemarsh, Oatland and Talahi islands, along with a few others clustered along the way to the area’s beloved beach - Tybee) contrasts pleasantly with the hustle and bustle of busy downtown.

Continuing on to Tybee, you’ll find a quaint little island that’s a far cry from Florida’s tourist and development-filled beaches. Around every corner is a new surprise: shabby-chic beach houses tucked in among modern ones, a handful of unique little shops and restaurants and tiny winding streets that lead to uncluttered beaches, lazy river views and marsh expanses. Tybee holds the heart of Savannians as no other beach in the world can.

If Savannah finds your heart and takes hold, you’re not alone. I speak from experience. Having traveled the world and lived abroad, I’ve seen and loved many beautiful places, but Savannah always beckons me home. There is no other place I’d rather call my own. There is no easier place to love.
