You might be able to draw conclusions from the "New(!) South" page at
the site at Right in the sig.

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.

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.

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)
