Savannah retour

This past weekend I returned to Savannah to visit with a few friends and see the fabulous shopSCAD.  It has been nearly three years since moving from Savannah and I miss it terribly.   I fell in love my first visit with the simple yet elegant layout of the downtown district and the way the 18th and 19th-century architecture mixes with modern and post-modern examples.  It was nice to see some of projects that had been spoken of finally be completed, such as the restoration and rejuvenation of the old fort in Forsyth Park.  In my absence over the past thirty or so months, buildings came up and buildings went down.  Bars, restaurants and shops had come and gone.  Savannah was the same in some ways but it was also very different.  This weekend also marked a big anniversary for me:  ten years from when I began to attend school at Savannah College of Art and Design (2001-2005);  a school that is undeniably part of the heart and soul of Savannah.

New work at shopSCAD; go see and go visit Savannah.
