Savannah - 1/ #travel #history #Georgia #USA – Amazing city where it's a pleasure to visit, walk, shop, sight-see, eat good food and more. I'll show you some of my favorite parts on this travel thread. Comments? Questions? Have at it! :)
Savannah - 2/ #travel #history #Georgia #USA – This beautiful city is several miles inland on the Savannah River. Oglethorpe's brilliant and famous #masterplan of squares at the center of superblocks continues to this day. These maps show 1734, 1818 and present day. #architecture
Savannah - 3/ Both Georgia and Savannah were founded by James Oglethorpe in Feb. 1733. Slavery was banned. Oglethorpe created the laws, the city master plan, led its military (against Spain in Florida), etc. Here he is circa 1734. He co-founded Augusta, Georgia in 1735. Who knew?
Savannah - 4/ #travel #history #Georgia #USA – The city has plenty of beautiful walk-up townhomes around its verdant squares. Each square has a monument, statue or fountain, etc. It's a hot city, but the live oaks and buildings provide plenty of shade. #ForrestGump filmed here.
Savannah - 5/ #travel #history #Georgia #USA – Pretty address markers are just one way in which Savannah residents show their love of home.
Savannah - 6/ #travel #Top4Theme #FlashbackFridayz - So much to see just walking around aimlessly. Except the grid pattern makes it easy to find your way back to wherever you want. On hot days, take plenty of water.
Savannah - 7/ #sculptures #streetart - There are plenty of statues. The last one shows the Haitians who fought for America in the American Revolution. @templefugate @milmodelscene @RentmeisterMarc
Savannah - 8/ The historic district has plenty of churches. I can only think of one other city that has such an extensive historic district, and that's nearby Charleston, which is also amazing!
Savannah - 9/ Georgia's oldest city is charmingly framed by green. Those responsible for preserving the city's character have done an amazing job!
Savannah - 10/ More architecture. The gold dome is Savannah City Hall! Amazing! SCAD is Savannah College of Art and Design, a veritable atelier of design talent helping Georgia and elsewhere. They even have their own art museum! @SCADdotedu @scadmoa.
Savannah - 11/ More details. It's perhaps Georgia's or even the South's most photogenic city. Disagree? That's a good thing because I'm always hoping to find more to explore. So let me know your favorites like maybe Charleston, Miami, New Orleans, etc. #travel #history #culture
