Some days, going out simply means walking around the corner, across the street and finding my favorite seat. Washington Square.

In Historic Downtown Savannah there are 22 Squares. Our Squares are like small parks located along a grid affectionately named “The Oglethorpe Plan” after James Oglethorpe founder of Georgia.

Sometimes the best seat in Savannah is the one waiting right outside the door.

Washington Square has been part of our everyday life for years. Neighbors gather here for events. Tourism Savannah encourage folks to flock to Savannah for glimpse into “yester-year” through the preservation of these squares. Thousands may come to see Savannah’s history but I just come here to sit and relax.

Ok, ok, I people watch too!

Wood, tabby, shells, weather, and time— even the bench carries a little Savannah history.

I not that old but even the benches tell part of the story, weathered wood resting against old tabby filled with shells. Nothing fancy. Just something familiar that belongs exactly where it is.
