Atlanta

[Squeak 17]

Savanah or Atlanta, traveling down from Washington to Florida, which would be the better option, Savanah or Atlanta?

Depends on what you are looking for. Savannah would be my pick tough. Easy to get around. Plenty to see and do, plus it is on the way, Atlanta would be about a 3 hour detour each way. What are you interested in seeing?

[LadiDadi 0]

Apples and oranges. The two are worlds apart and impossible to compare.

If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you.

yup,

Totally depends on what you're looking to do when you get there!

It's not the speed that kills ya, it's the sudden stops!

probably easier to say what i am NOT looking for

not looking for just another big city. looking for something that tells me about Georgia or the South, something that's got some character and history and charm

yes, Shagging the official State dance

Savannah is a great stop, great city to walk around, small shops, rerstaurants, lots to see, a lot of history

General Sherman (Northern General killing a bunch of innocent people during the war of Norther Aggression) marched through Atlanta and burned it down (as he did everywhere he went) he then took Savannah in late December, he contacted President Lincoln and said that Savannah was beautiful and he offered it to Lincoln for Christmas, thus it was not burned so there are some of the oldest houses in the South in Savannah, there are plaques or metal sign boards all over the place telling the history

if you have time Charleston is a great stop, bigger than Savannah and more history, if you go PM me and I'll help you find a good inexpensive hotel - I may even be in town

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Definitely Savannah. Make sure you take a carriage ride around the city, you'll learn a lot about the history.

Definitely Savannah then...it's right on the I-95 corridor. It also has a preserved history to it, since it didn't get burned by Sherman's army. Great food, great character. Nice city.

Based on what you are saying you want to see Savannah is definitely the better choice.
If you are driving down I 75 Savannah is NOT on your route but worth the detour. Visit Tybee Island while you are there, too.

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

But all the cool kids are in Atlanta.

[Icon134 0]

I'll echo what others have said... Go to Savannah... all the "cool kids" might be in Atlanta but it doesn't have anywhere near the character that Savannah has...

We got character yes we do, we got character how bout you??



Savannah would be my recommendation. Although I don't believe Atlanta is just another big city, but we've got big city problems that could jack your visit up.

Also, Atlanta kind of lost it's Southern ness in my opinion.

Yeah, when I first moved here it was around and noticeable. I'd say it's been hard to find for some time now though. Such it what happens though.
No one is saying it's a bad thing.

OK Savannah it is

Any of you Georgia folks want to meet for dinner/drinks there?

Let me know when. That's about a 3 1/2 hr drive for us.

[micduran 0]

Yes, let us know when. Spence and I haven't been on a road trip in while

Here we are in Savannah last February.

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

Will do, see if you can drag the deaf one along too

If you want some good crack, and the roughness of the city atmosphere, sure go to Atl. You will see all kinds of poor and withered away culture, and probably get to see someone selling drugs or a beautiful transvestite with ass milk running down his legs on the streets.

Savannah has a nationally known art/graphic design, law, and medical school, beautiful scenery, and the educational level per capitia is 7:1 versus Atl for Bachelor degrees. Stay away from Atlanta. It’s a sad, and run down city. Watch out for the Fekitaeh if you do go to Atlanta..

I would like to go back to the piano bar. That was a blast.

well ummm since no one else has stood up for this town yet I will.

I'm sure where you live is just peachy keen and full of nothing but butterflies and fountains of gold.
Give me a break. Atlanta isn't a shit city, it's got problem areas just like every city in the USA, including Savannah.

Thanks for the thought, but it's an awful long way for me to Savannah. I'm 2 hours west of Atlanta.
