Savannah Nightlife On A Limited Budget
admin July 18th, 2011
A trip to Savannah is a guaranteed trip into the Deep South and offers a rich history that is often overlooked by many travelers.
The easiest place to experience the nightlife on a budget is exploring the shops, restaurants’ and bars of the River Street area. Located alongside the Savannah River the street is paved with thousands upon thousands of ballast stones that were discarded by sailing ships from its official founding in 1733 until the day the S.S. Savannah left port to become the first steam ship to cross the Atlantic in 1819. The city of Savannah is self-sustaining and does not rely upon tourist dollars to survive. Pricing is driven by the local economy and not artificially inflated. Southern rules of hospitality still apply and it is not considered to be respectable to take advantage of travelers.
There is a strong military presence in Georgia and Savannah is a popular destination for many soldiers and their families as well. The rough and tumble feeling of the area is only enhanced by the presence of The Pirate House as alluded to in the classic novel Treasure Island but the hospitality of the area is genuine and everyone is welcome.Take a look here to learn more: Georgia on my mind
