If you have ever visited or enjoyed pictures of Savannah, Georgia, you may remember the beautiful iconic fountain in Forsyth Park, the multi-cultural architecture surrounding the park, Bonaventure Cemetery or the beautiful park-like squares in the center of old Savannah.  Savannah was, and still is, a marvelous presentation of history, diverse cultures, and amazing cuisines.  … [Read more...] about Jim Williams and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
