Savannah is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia.[3] A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War,[4] Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia's fifth-largest city and third-largest metropolitan area.
Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).[3][5]
Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966).[3][a] Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.

I lived there from 1992-2001 and I was able to rent an apartment in the historic district for about $450 IN 1993. .I moved into different places after that one. Savannah will always hold a place in my heart. I partied alot. I also woke up early and drove out to Tybee and planted my beach chair. I laid on the beach until about 1:00 pm came home took a shower and went to work by 3:00 pm until 10:00 pm. It was the best time of my life.

It is quite nice. . . . . . a person can imagine a place from other people's descriptions, then someone like you comes along and does the YouTube world a favor and makes this video. Thank you.

Rumble street 😂 I remember that well. We used to try and keep our tires on the rails

I love it how the traditional British bakery is blaring out Human League music. That made me smile - they are a really popular and quirky British disco group.

Make sure to take a walk/drive down E Jones St if you visit Savannah. It was voted one of the prettiest streets in America and it shows.
