One would say wonderful starting point for Savannah Georgia excellent Music and it's to the south American Paris romance 💒❤😊 I fall in Love with your introduction.Respect ❤😊
I've always had this inner desire to move to Savannah. I think it's the history, the haunting nature, the architecture, the location etc. So I decided to take the leap and will be moving there and I can't be more excited to learn more about the city I hope to call home for many years!
@@adisc7475 I moved down there in July 2020 :). I now live in Indiana (closer to family). However Savannah will always hold a special place in my heart. Love and miss Savannah 💕
I spent time in Savannah while being stationed at Hunter Army Airfield(1967) and returned to live there in 1968-1970 after a tour of Vietnam. I still consider Savannah my favorite city in the USA. The uniqueness of the city comes from both its historical history, its structural buildings and parks and the friendliest people I have ever met. I lived on both Habersham and Houston Street and remember hearing Pete Fountain's concert at Forsythe Park. Ironically my son married a girl with the first name of Savanna. They spent their honeymoon in Savannah and hope to live there someday.
I adore Savannah, Georgia. I spent a great deal of time there while I was living on HHI., SC. for 3 years in the 1980's. I am from Wyoming, so I was so enchanted with all of the lovely, historical surroundings. I was always exploring and wanting to see and learn more. I wasn't really ready to come back to Wyoming, but I have returned a couple of times to Savannah. If my family didn't live here in Wy., I would definitely return and make it my home 💕 I absolutely LOVED the book and movie..."In the Garden of Good and Evil". I think I lived there in a "past life".😉 Thank you for making this video 💕
I love Savanah, it reminds me of European Cities such as my home town, of Warsaw, only my town, is slightly, older. I love cities, which respect, history.
I loved the tour busses cause, actors jump on at certain stops and tell a story about the building your at or about the area. The Forest Gump dude was a trip too. We stayed at a B&B also some of Forest Gump was filmed in Beaufort South Carolina too💯🥰🥰 Tybee Island was great also but I know I'll never be able to walk up the light house again 🙃 Dinner on the river boat 🚢 was the Best ever🍹🥗🍤🥩💯🤗
John Duncan was history professor when I was at Armstrong, but unfortunately I never took his class. Huge regret there. We did visit his book shop several years ago before he passed away & he gave us a tour of his home, talked about the movie, and showed us some unusual items. He was so proud of his involvement with Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil. He said he was typecast as a busybody--typical Duncan.
Planning a trip to Savannah and Charleston and from what I see on the web and via Google Earth, Savannah is definitely more interesting than that Charleston. And I am certain those people on the message boards saying you should spend a day in Savannah but a week in Charleston are Charlestonians desperate to get their city some attention.
Very informative, however, you left out so much of the historical aspects of slavery in Savannah, which I can understand you wanting to forget, but its part and a sad part of our American history and should not be forgotten. A beautiful city and God Bless Savannah.
I'm curious why you think slavery has to come in to play when you talk about a beautiful city as Savanah ? There's probably 1000's or more things that were not covered in the story of Savanah .
Do not apologise for history,what happened,happened. In the uk some people now say things about Churchill,they are out of order.Good job he was there at the time.
I live pretty much downtown Savannah, just moved here...less than a mile from Forsyth Park. I am loving it here...but I would not venture out to walk at night. it's a beautiful city rich in history.
+Theresa Scott Are the gnats out yet? I'm thinking about visiting in the next couple of months. Last year the gnats were terrible, but that was in June.
Currently rereading Midnight. Read it when it first came out and it was enchanting and strange. I moved to Savannah in November of ‘19. Having lived here for less than 90 days, Berendts’ 25 year old novel is still absolutely spot on regarding the city and the atmosphere. Y’all come see us. What would you like to drink, darlin’?
I totally agree with you about the Book and it upsets me that the screenwriter for the movie didn't read the book. He/she just made up the story line after hearing a three minute recap. It would have been nice if the movie was more like the book.
It never fails, people always bring their hate into the comments & make it about race & their ignorant racist views! Those who do this are some sad, disgusting, miserable, self hating individuals! Smh
OH MY GRACIOUS! I am horrified by the speaker at 11:35 who discusses Oglethorpes’ prohibitions. He says “no blacks”. Oglethorpe said, “no SLAVES.” That is a world of difference. Shameful. I just spoke well of Old Trolley Tours in a couple of previous posts, might have to rethink that endorsement.
I don't know about the rest of Savannah being haunted, but I know the jail at Fort Pulaski is definitely haunted. I was there a few years ago with another person. We were in the section which has the jail, he'd walked on ahead. I was lingering at one of the cells. Something come up behind me and said in an audible voice, "boo." I shit you not. I got chills when I turned around and there was no one there.
I was born here in this great city...I want to know exactly where the fist four squares, or wards were physically at..which streets today are they located?..thanks..
Johnson, Wright, Ellis & Telfair were the first four squares. Bull Street would take you around Johnson & Wright. To the west of Bull is Barnard Street that would take you around Ellis & Telfair. Ellis Square was the site of the original City Market.
@@khshannon2269 It is also nice to note that the City Hall is located directly across from the end of BULL Street. All you have to do is add the second half of the word and you describe what every politician 'speaks'.
Beautiful city. We were there last week. When taking the riverboat cruise, I noticed our paddle wheel didn't move, but your video shows it moving. Does it only move as part of the visual effect where other props on the boat provide the power?
I go to Savannah Georgia twice a year . I've always wanted to buy a old house there and restore it . My favorite place to stay is the motel that everyone say has spirits . Well I've not seen anything or heard anything but I'm sure if I let my imagination run wild I would see or hear something . Am not saying I don't believe in ghost just saying I've never seen one . If I do am sure I would poop on myself .
I've lived in Savannah 76 years and have never seen a ghost or heard anyone mention one until the Midnight book brought all the tourists here and someone decided that they needed entertainment.
Actually no true...the city was built by military engineer. Slavery was illegal in Savannah and the colony of Ga. until 1750. So it was partially built by slaves as well as free men.
"There are so many fun Savannah Tours to enjoy on your next visit to Georgia". Ya mean like the ones about slavery, and rice plantations, and how that made western expansion possible? Yeah, that was fun!
Juan Jimenez old town Trolley is an excellent way to introduce yourself to the city with a “Cliff Notes” version of things to see. The option of being able to embark/disembark is also lovely. Savannah pedicab is great for an Uber-style transportation, not so much for an entire day. It is difficult for someone pedaling to narrate.
I'm so sick & tired of politically correctness. It's stifling this country. It's the USA. Freedom of Speech. Whether you agree with someone's opinion or not. You are free to say what you think without having to apologize.
Civility is what shows character and upbringing....it has nothing to do with politics. Politics has always been brutal in history...individuals have committed many vices in the name of politics, thief, murder, greed, etc.
I really tried to watch this all the way through but tired of the commercials every two minutes. This must run on an endless loop on some obscure city cable channel. I would love it if there could be a second shorter version without all the adverts. (Speaking of the commercials... who in blazes would travel all the way to Savannah to eat at a *Japanese* restaurant??? That would be like going to Denver and eating at a Joe's Crab Shack.)
Helene, since you decided to visit Charleston instead, you will be close enough to Sav. to be able to take in the city either during the "safe" daylight hours but there are some nighttime tours you can take and still enjoy the city. When we go to Sav. I ALWAYS "pack heat" (carry a gun - I have a concealed weapons permit). It's a beautiful historic city for sure, but like I said, the "thugs" have made it an unsafe place to go out at night.
I have my gun permit, but I'm not able to carry. Are you able to pack heat (very cool by the way) because of your military status or due to the different gun laws in the South? If that's the case I'm going to seriously think about moving. I think the South is absolutely gorgeous & the ppl are just as kind.
@@Chief205 You can get a concealed weapon permit in Savannah. I know a lot of ladies who have a little derringer in their purses when out at night ( and know how to use them).
+Ellis Wallace "White washed"...isn't that a RACIST term? Martin Luther King Jr. said that we should be a COLORLESS society. If you are looking at everything through a skin-color glass then you are a RACIST. Period.
natalie St Clair I'm a full blooded Savannian and your right the black who helped build this lovely lady have a very rich history. I have left her 5 times in my 52 years. Every time she has welcomed me back. This city is my drug.
I am 48 years old and grew up in South Georgia. I know Savannah like the back of my hand. These fake and exaggerated accents are getting on my nerves. SOME, are authentic, but the acted ones make me wanna vomit.
This guy is faking his accent. No one in the South speaks like that. He's using a Transatlantic accent for the sake of the video and it's misleading. That dialect has been dead for decades. This isn't Gone With The Wind.
One would say

Hopefully everyone moving here leaves their bad characteristic in their old city. I'm so tired of the new yorkers moving down here with bad attitudes.
Updates?

i know i just watched about 40 minutes of commercials, but it's savannah so i watched every minute of it
I always scan the comments before I watch a video - for this very reason. Thanks for the warning. BZZZTTTTT - next video.

I just happened to come in.I enjoyed the video where you explained it carefully.
