    Six Word Saturday: Historic District Savannah, These Empty Streets

    Savannah, Georgia. Tourist town extraordanire! Why come to Savannah from the far reaches of the world? It’s Historic District! Over 14.1 million visitors flock the streets of downtown Savannah each year.

    Today, during our morning exersice walk, there was a diffence. These usually busy streets were… Empty! No people! No cars! No bikes! Nothing!

    Coronavirus be damned! Savannah is under a “Shelter in Place” order and that means “these” streets have returned to the ownership and usage of the “locals”. Hey! That’s fine by me for the shear joy of enjoying what I moved downtown to enjoy! The beauty of the trees, the birds singing and squirrels everywhere without beer cups and trash everywhere.

    I truly understand and feel for all the wonderful folks, locals who work downtown in this historic district not being able to work. Today I marvel at the the empty streets of Savannah!

    Broughton Street, Our Main Street.

    Bay Street

    Whitaker Street

    Neighborhood Viability Today

    Viewing the impact of art as a catalyst for urban morphology.  I love to explore the diverse neighborhoods in Atlanta’s heart.  Many areas have fallen victim to blight and decay.  One answer I have seen many times has been the city’s embrace of the street artists and graffiti artists.  They bring life to abandoned builds and purpose to empty sometimes decaying walls.  Viable buildings become messages of hope as cultural heroes stare questioning at you and vivid images leap midair.  “What changes are you ready to make, to embrace?”
