Savannah gets a bum wrap for the summer with everyone
saying how hot it is and how humid and don’t you dare go to Savannah in the
summer as it’s just terrible.
Well, I’m here to tell you
that’s a bunch of hooey. Here are ten great reasons to visit Savannah in the
summer.
First off you’re never far
from the water and that in it self is a mighty big plus. There’s a breeze and
just looking at the wet makes you feel cool and if you get too hot you just
jump right on in.
Second because of all that
there water you can do whatever floats your boat. You can rent one of your own
or just hop on board someone else’s.
Third there’s the beach. I
ask you, is there anything more fun than play in sand? You can build with it or
play on it and when you get too hot there’s that there water to jump right on
in.
Then there’s the food!! Oh,
Honey, the food! Down-home Southern cooking to the ever-present
pralines, you won’t go home hungry. In the summer, it’s water-to-table coastal
cuisine that takes top billing and should be at the top of your to-do list. A
cool treat goes a long way in a Savannah summer, which may explain why
Leopold’s Ice Cream has been doing such good business since
And Savannah comes highly recommended. Before he hit the big time. Sixty
years ago, Elvis Presley shook his hips at a Savannah audience for the first
time.
And they there’s the night life. Savannah
doesn’t hide from its well-earned reputation as America’s most haunted city —
and ghost tours help bring these legends to life. If you don’t believe in ghosts when you come you
will when you leave.
And then
there’s Slow-vannah to consider. You don’t have to be in a
hurry to see Savannah. It’s the perfect place to stroll past the red-brick
mansions and wrought-iron fences of Jones Street or the boutiques and galleries
in City Market.
There’re plenty of other reasons to come to
Savannah in the summer and with a little luck you won’t come across any of
those pesky bodies that Reagan and I keep running into. You all have a great
summer now, ya’ hear.
