Hi, Georgians. I think I'm moving to Savannah pretty soon.

[babylonsister]

Any advice? All I need is a home and a job! :hide:

Seriously, what's the best side of town to live on in your opinion? I know the job market isn't great, but I've set my sights pretty low.

Any insight would be great, and a PM would work, too.

Thanks!

1. Hi

One thing I like about it there is there are are about two bars for every church. That's usually a pretty good sign in Georgia.

Good luck! Let us know, if you want to, when you are settled and maybe we can have a meetup there?

[babylonsister]

4. Ha! Swell! I prefer bars! A meetup would be great, and I'll keep

you posted. :hi:

2. I'd try to get as close to the historic district as you can possibly afford

The further out you get, the more it becomes just like every other urban sprawl nightmare.

You move here and we'll call a GA DUer conference in Savannah in your honor! :)

3. Hello, Ruby

How are you doing?

[unapatriciated]

5. yes stay close the historic district.

lame54 and I were married on Tybee Island and stayed in the historic district. It's beautiful and everything is within walking distance.
We love Atlanta but wished our jobs had a location in Savannah. We are in the burbs here (Marietta) and miss living in a walking town (Dana Point, CA).
Good luck in your hunt for a job and home.

6. Don't!.Move.There.

Trust me.I grew up there.
Savannah is the waiting room for hell.

[babylonsister]

7. And Atlanta is better? I like beaches, close by. I like small

cities.

Seems sort of nice to me.

8. Don't be fooled. I'd rather be in Savannah. I'm in ATL myself. Ick. I'm sure there

are nicer parts of the ATL, but where I live is Repub central and a monument to urban sprawl and mall-ification. Ugh.
I miss Chapel Hill.

[conscious evolution]

12. If you must move there

get a place downtown.
It is the only part of town that is accepting of outsiders.

9. Savannah is lovely and old.

I wouldn't really want to live there, especially without either a home or a job.

Either way, I wish you well. We need more Georgia DUers.

:hi:

11. Thanks, Laelth. I do have a

good buddy there, which is why I even considered it. It will all work out-it has to! :hi:

10. Would you do us a favor

If you happen to see Saxby Chambliss crossing the street, would you please run him down with your car? Max Cleland and I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, and enjoy your move.

13. Hope your transitionto SAV is going well.

[babylonsister]

14. Hi, aikoaiko, just returned.

Found an apt. in Garden City for a year til I figure out which way the wind is blowing. Will be moving permanently next week.

Hope to meet you! :hi:

[aikoaiko]

15. Getting a reasonably priced apt for a year is a good way to go.

You'll figure it out within the year. I would imagine Garden City apt are little less expensive than Savannah apts.

Good luck. IM me if you need an info, but I know you already have a trusted friend in the area who can guide you.

16. I'm going to have to convince the hubby that we need to head down to Savannah for a visit soon

And watch your speed through Garden City and Pooler. I'm just sayin'...through personal experience :(

Welcome to GA! We're so happy to have you! :hug:

[babylonsister]

17. Please do! I could use some new friends in my new home!

:hi:
