Savannah GA (1) – A Gorgeous City

What drew us to this particular place was our appreciation of the movie, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”.  There was something about the heat and character of the city that was so pronounced in the film.  We knew it had to be one of our vacation destinations.  Not only the laid-back vibe made this trip most relaxing, but the history added interest and the passion of the paranormal added excitement.

The following photos are mainly shot in the Historic District which is full of charm and character.

Marshall House Hotel is known to be haunted.  Once used as an Union Hospital, ghostly encountered were to be experienced in the basement of this hotel.

Located on the corner of Congress and Abercorn, this beautiful theatre is home to both live performances and film presentations.

Located along the bluff above the Savannah River, Thomas Gamble Building is used for government offices.

A couple of many buildings on East River Street alongside the Savannah River.  A popular tourist destination, full of shops and eateries.
