Savannah, GA
Touring Savannah's Public Squares
 Savannah is credited as being America's first planned city. Oglethorpe laid the city out in a series of grids that allowed for wide open streets intertwined with shady public squares and parks that served as town meeting places and centers of business. Savannah had 24  original squares with 21 still in existence. You can explore the many squares by horse-drawn carriage, tour bus or on foot. One of attractions you will see along the way is the Mercer House. Made famous by John Berent's best selling book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Mercer House was the setting for many scenes.
Bay Street
 Located along the river bluff on Bay Street, this area was a 19th century meeting place and center of commerce for cotton merchants. The top contained offices for cotton brokers, and the lower warehouses on River Street contained the cotton that was shipped from Savannah to the world.
River Street
 Bridgeways connect the buildings along the bluff now used for quaint shops and restaurants. Cobblestones used as ballast in ships from England pave each ramp and form the walk-ways leading to River Street.
