Savannah Woodlands

SAVANNAH, Georgia—

“What would you like to drink?" is the first question people ask you in Savannah.

Gloriously isolated in a little enclave on the Georgia coast surrounded by nothing but marshes and piney woods, Savannah is a wooded oasis as permanent as the river it lives above. As Atlanta burned during Sherman’s March to the Sea, Savannah escaped unscathed, offered to Lincoln as a Christmas present because of its stunning natural beauty.

For your entire life, centuries before you were born and long after you are gone, arching Southern live oaks and their thick Spanish moss will drape over Savannah’s 18^th-century cobblestone streets, brick-lined squares and elegant Antebellum architecture like a forest. Listen closely and you can hear the faint sound of pianos and a good time late into the evening from basement joints behind tavern doors. Relax, stick around for one more drink and watch Savannah come to life. 

Your Savannah stories are the inspiration for Mayor’s new Savannah Woodlands button-down illustrated by local cityscape artist Kayla S. Kim:
