Sparky, if you get a chance to hop the river and check out downtown Savannnah, I strongly recommend it. River Street is pretty much a tourist trap, but the squares and houses are breathtaking. Since it escaped Sherman burning, you can trace the concentric development of the city through its architecture. Also, Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) have bought and renovated a slew of buildings downtown, including a library that used to be a department store owned by my grandmother's best friend's father.
The old City Market area is also very charming, restaurants and stores. My favorite junk shop in the world is across the square, selling everything from old traffic lights to beautiful armoires.
*ahem* I love that city. Were it not for the mosquitos and my mother's side of the family (and the lack of curbside recycling), I might well move there.
