Savannah, Georgia - The USA'S Second Most Beautiful City

[@BigGator5]

I recognize that drive out of Orlando. I-4 is forever under construction. The only real "historic" site of note in Orlando. Florida missed out on all the major wars on American soil, which is a good thing don't get me wrong. However we miss out on the historical war sites. That's all right, we have St. Augustine as the end point of the Seminole Wars.

[@BigGator5]

We also had a great visit too! I can't wait for your next visit! 😎 👍

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Florida is a great state, though. Definitely going to visit St Augustine next time around.

Being the oldest city in Georgia, Savannah was the first capital of Georgia as well. I love my city.

[@philipgior3312]

This is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the US. I've been interested in this city, being interested in it's historical aspects, as well as having read and watched "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". Great job as always!

Again, Savannah's best time to visit is in late March, early April of the fall of the year. The parks are ablaze with azaleas - everywhere is a garden. And there is a wonderful garden tour those months that feature private homes and their gardens. Best places to stay? The DeSota Hilton and the Regency Hyatt House right on the river. I love Savannah. a wonderful walking town.

[@ckzf1842]

Totally agree ! I live in London , did a “ Gone with the Wind “ tour of the Deep South about 20 years ago - absolutely fell in love ❤ with Savannah ! Must visit again soon 😀

The azaleas actually bloom in February not March.

We love Savanna, been there numbers of times when we snowbird from Connecticut to Florida. There is so much more to see but some bad areas to avoid. Funny, we also stayed at the same GLo Hotel. While it seemed fun when we first got there, most everything else was disappointing and it was not cheap at all. enjoy your travels.

[@fidgetssailing4725]

We were looking to move closer to the coast a year or so ago, and Ga was not on our list (high taxes). We looked in SC at a house, and on that trip we went to Savannah. We ended up on the River Walk and ate at The Olympian (which just got named one of the top 10% best restaurants in the world - don't know about that but it is fantastic) - and we fell in love. Bought a house about an hour away and couldn't be happier. An hour away because we needed a large house with a pool, but it's close enough that we go to Savannah about once a month except in the summer - parking can be hard and well we don't leave our pool.

Awesome place! Ive been to Columbus and Atlanta GA. I hope to visit Savannah next time! 🥰

[@cmd406]

Okay so, I was just there in Savannah two weeks ago. I live in Florida. Story about the park bench, (took a Segway tour, which I highly recommend), people knowing that it was in the Forrest Gump movie kept taking pieces off of it to take home as souvenirs. So they took that park bench and put it in a museum in Hollywood, and replaced it with another one. Well apparently that one kept getting pieces of it cut off as well because people didn't realize it was a replica, so they put that in the museum there in Savannah. It's a fantastic City and I didn't get to see that much of it and I can't wait to go back!

If so you have to go to the Varsity drive in, it’s really worth going.

[@joycelebaron2582]

Thanks for the video, you showed me just what I wanted to see. I had taken a quick ride down there last April when I was in Charleston late one afternoon. While I found it beautiful and different than the average American city, and I loved the Spanish moss draping the trees, after a while I found myself feeling almost suffocated by them and wanted to run towards the river so I could breathe! 🥴PS: I had forgotten how Nathaniel Greene outmaneuvered Cornwallis in GA and SC. Of course he's a hero in his (and my) native RI but forgotten he was a hero there as well, where is is buried. I had figured he'd be buried somewhere in South COUNTY, RI, somewhere near the Gilbert Stuart Museum, not Savannah so I was surprised when you showed that statue.

[@kennixox262]

Savannah is known for its exterior beauty in the historic area while Charleston, no less of a historic or beautiful city unto itself; is better known for the spectacular interiors of its historic homes. Charleston at one time was the wealthiest city in the American colonies and imported a huge amount of furnishings from England. If you have ever seen the staircase in the Nathaniel Russel House, you would know what I mean. Avoid both cities in the heat and humidity during hurricane season. Late October when there are candle lit tours is the best time to go.

I think you got a good one.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Savannah is beautiful. It's routinely ranked amongst the most beautiful in the US and the city didn't disappoint when I was there. Our Bronco has performed flawlessly, with zero problems. Its full time 4 wheel drive, and we have driven through blizzards in the Appalachians and Cascades. Not so much as a slip on the road. It's at 39,300 miles right now, and drives the same as it did new. :)

The park bench was torn apart by people who wanted memorabilia and they had to take it down. I am from Georgia and Savannah is my favorite right behind St. Simon's and Cumberland island.

[@tadduncan8697]

Actually the bench was a movie prop and placed in Chippewa square for shooting. After wrapping those scenes the bench was removed and given to the Savannah Historical Society where it remains on display to this day. There was no vandalism of the movie prop and there has never been a bench there in the past or present. I have lived my entire life in Savannah. We're better than that.

[@selfesteem3447]

About the Alleys. It's against the law to be in all Alleys, throughout the city WHEN IT'S Dark, this I have verified with the police department. Will get you a $200 fine and straight to jail. THE ANGRY OFFICER TOLD ME ! Citywide - as we have alleys, of course all over, not just downtown. Now is it always enforced? Not exactly, but it is. I guess it depends on what officer catches you in the Alley after dark. I was born and raised here and no one had ever told me. When the angry officer caught me doing this, he actually used the line "ignorance is no excuse for the law". Many, veryyyy many people have told me, as I've worked in the historic district for decades.... (The common time it would be overlooked is when we are inundated with visitors on Saint Patrick's Day,... people are EVERYWHERE downtown at that time). They have told me... "oh yeah, this is serious, not to be taken lightly". These are people (or visitors in Airbnb's) who live in carriage houses and apartments located in the Alleys and HAVE to access them to get to their front doors or when taking their dogs out at night. They have told me how the officers have instructed them that they can ONLY go x amount of feet from their door to let their dog out. As for the daytime, it's still against the law to be in the alleys if you don't live in places where you have to access the alleys. I personally don't go in the alleys unless I'm taking someone home or picking them up who lives there, I stay out of the Ali's I don't use them as shortcuts, all hours of the day. Bc Shady stuff happens in Ally's, is why there's a law. When the officer caught me and he told me what the law was I told him you will never catch me in the alley again, he then he said "are you trying to get smart with me" I said "oh no, I'm just telling you, I didn't know this and now that you told me you will never catch me in the alley again". I think it's really wrong that they don't post it. Other than interviewing people who live in the alleys, and my episode with the officer, and calling the police to verify if, it was just downtown, no one has ever told me this and I've been here for 56 years.

It seems everyone complaining is strictly complaining about what he missed in their town. Its a downtown channel and every video has this comment. He has nothing to do with how a town looks and even if it is considered downtown, he can’t possibly go everywhere. You can choose to support him or not. But it’s hypocritical to watch and enjoy but when it’s your town to complain about something he didn’t do. Maybe make suggestions for downtown things to do or look for. But don’t suggest suburban lifestyles. That’s why downtowns are falling apart and we need a car to cross a street. Instead of walking 30 seconds and keeping our weight in check and our money in our pocket. But don’t get upset at him for what your city looks like because he didn’t cover the suburbs or go to the zoo or museum which is supposedly a good representation of the city? I would say it’s the opposite. People watch to see the things less seen. Thats his niche that’s gotten him here. And why you watch.
