This blog is a local food and culture blog. Though I may report some news, it is not nearly as good as Orange Street News. I read about the local blog and newspaper run by nine-year-old Hilde Kate Lysiak yesterday, and she has inspired me to step up my blogging.
Anyway here’s a quick round-up of local Savannah news.
There’s a new restaurant in Starland. The Vault opened a week ago to an enthusiastic and hungry audience. Bill Dawers went and he wrote his first impression.
PJ’s Thai on Abercorn has closed. I was looking at the sign when a man who’s working there told me that a new pizza place will open in the same corner spot. I hope it is not a chain restaurant.
Is the number 14 CAT bus ever going to go down Broughton Street again? Also, why would anyone park illegally in front of the bus for noontime mass at St. John The Baptist cathedral. This past Monday, a bus was pretty much stuck because of cars parked on Abercorn in front of the church. I had to get out and walk.
I overheard some business people (they were wearing ties) walking along River Street and someone said “35 to 40 on Broughton St” was talking about square rent prices for retail. If that’s the case, that would explain the recent openings of Tommy Bahamas, Club Monaco and Michael Kors.
BTW, I am an aunt again. I have a beautiful nephew that was born last week. He’s a happy spring baby.
