On 10/03/2003 10:02 PM clint while directing tourists to the Zazu Pits,
was inclined to say: Do you find Savannah safe for northerners? I am a New Jersey Shore yankee. I went to the Univ. of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. I lived there for a number of years. Quite often, I visited Savannah, Charleston, and Santee. My friends called me a "Damnyankee" with a smile on their faces, strangers called me Sir. The water in Savannah has gotten better over the years. It used to smell of sulpher. The most dangerous thing you might encounter is eating too much barbecue or weight gain from too much pecan pie. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M.

On 10/03/2003 10:02 PM clint while directing tourists to the Zazu Pits, was inclined to say: Do you find Savannah safe for northerners? Is Savannah really considered the deep south. Well it doesnt matter. I live in Knoxville, TN, and I visit all over the south frequently. I havent found Savannah to be any more dangerous than any other city of comparable size. People have this idea in their head that because they are quote yankees that the southerners are going to form a lynch mob and attack them. Its not like that at all. Mostly everyone is pretty nice I have found, maybe too nice at times, sure you have punks and criminals but you have them everywhere. In some areas of the south I have found traffic a little more hetic, and most of the towns are very old. Dont mistake old with ghetto. A good part of Savannah is very pretty and actually enjoyable. One piece of advice, dont announce you are from the north unless asked. Im orginally from WI, and when i moved here, i didnt walk around announcing i was a yankee. I was polite and mostly everyone has been polite back. Dont say things like back up north we did it this way, or something along those lines. Anyway, yep most of the south is pretty safe, sure you have some areas you might want to be careful, but thats all over the US. My question is if your going to deal with crime anyway, you might as well have nice weather . |

When you're at a nightspot on the riverfront, make sure your over-educated,
under-employed buddy doesn't make remarks about "how great the riverfront area looks" and that he "can't even tell that they used to traffic in human misery." It puts a real damper on an evening and gets you a lot of dirty looks from locals. If possible, just ditch him at the hotel while he's taking a shower or something. :-p "clint" wrote in message ...

Do you find Savannah safe for northerners? Or just avoid the riverfront at all costs. For it will be hard to meet real locals there. Its a tourist trap, but there are alot of quote hotspots that the tourists dont know about.(thank god) |
