One of the truly remarkable Southern cities in the United States is Savannah, Georgia. This was the first capital of Georgia, and the site of an early settlement. James Oglethorpe led settlers to this area in the early 1600's. The city was the eventual goal of General Sherman during "the march to the sea" of the American civil war.
Now, Savannah host the country's second largest parade on St. Patrick's Day and is the location for a booming tourist industry. Among other locations, this was the setting for the novel "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Locations in the city were mentioned in the movie, Forrest Gump. Seafood is one of the staples of food for the community. I heartily recommend a visit to this wonderful city. [edit text][editors]
