On this date in 1864 General Sherman presented President Lincoln with the city of Savannah Georgia as a Christmas present. |

And don't think for a single second the folks in Savannah have ever forgotten! Or forgiven, for that matter. |

Extrabio1947, Hey don't forget what the famous song said about Sherman's army: Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free! So… now you are free. Happy now? ;) |

They seem perfectly willing to take Yankee tourist dollars.  |

Revenge is a dish best eaten cold. |

If you have ever seen the women walking up and down River Street (usually bachelorette parties), then you know that revenge is anything but cold. |

The best revenge is the billions (yes, with a B)
pouring into the Savannah River Site to convert some
of the facility into MOX production a process which
converts legacy weapons grade nuclear material into
commercial power grade nuclear material. The Savannah River Site is also the only US facility
which produces tritium, an essential element in the
production of thermonuclear weapons.
There are in addition to the two processes mentioned
quite a number of other processes housed at the SRS,
employing about 10,000 people and covering about 300
square miles in South Carolina. Sweet revenge, indeed – at least economically. |

Cold and Savannah don't exist in the same universe. A beautiful city. |

Savannah and Charleston make a nice three-day weekend. As KSmyth says, beautiful cities, both of them. |

jpattern2: Good travel advice. My wife and I did a four day trip to Savannah & Charleston this past spring. We visited three Civil War forts, a wildlife refuge and some outstanding restaurants. Poogan's Porch is the must-visit restaurant in Charleston. |
