Kyle Kinane had been home in Portland for less than a day when we talked. He had three days to catch up with his cats, water the plants and enjoy the fall colors before heading back out. The plants, he reported, were still alive. One of the cats was staring at him. “I don’t try […]

Behind the Cover, Back on Stage Jim Messina is coming to District Live on October 15, and if you start listing what he has done over nearly 60 years in music, you can lose the plot pretty quickly. Buffalo Springfield. Poco. Loggins and Messina. Producer. Engineer. Songwriter. Musician. He helped shape the sound that eventually […]

Ships of the Sea Is Reimagining Savannah History Through Comics and art There is something wonderfully strange about turning old ships into comic books. Not strange in the wrong way. Strange in the Savannah way. The kind of idea that sounds a little unexpected at first, then starts to make perfect sense the longer you […]

The Sky I Keep Exhibit at SCAD MOA When Othiana Roffiel first came SCAD, she was caught between two ways of seeing the world. Photography or painting. She walked into the photography building, looked around, then walked into the painting building. Something changed. “I didn’t feel what I felt when I went into the painting […]

THE FUNNY THING about meeting Peter Relic is that it takes a while before you realize who you’re talking to. The conversa-tion starts with coffee, rain, and a joke about Stevedore’s name. Outside the coffee shop’s windows, Eastern Wharf disappears behind a summer downpour. Inside, Relic is telling stories. One minute we’re talking about Savannah. […]

I’m not sure which comes first as you’re driving down Wheaton Street. Whether you catch the smell of hickory smoke or see it drifting into the sky. But one way or another, you know you’ve arrived. Then you notice the line. People waiting to order, others picking up takeout, all standing patiently because they already […]

“I like to do things I don’t really know how to do very well. It puts me in an uncomfortable feeling. That’s when you’re learning.” “I’ve got friends who are retired and friends who aren’t, and I almost can’t tell the difference.” It’s one of those observations that stops you for a second.   Trusted […]

Ashley Simeone is sitting in Municipal Bar talking about flavor, but the longer she talks, the more obvious it becomes that flavor is only part of the thing. The drink matters. The texture matters. The cold glass, the lemon oil, the bubbles, the herbs, the salt, the snap of something bright against something fatty. She […]

The first time Andy Barrow tried explaining what he was building, I didn’t completely get it. I wanted to. I knew enough to know it sounded interesting. A replica of Forsyth Fountain. Months of work. Advanced scanning technology. Local stores beginning to carry them. But some things are easier to understand once they’re sitting in […]

I told Mashama Bailey that I didn’t want a drink. That was a lie. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, I had yoga later that evening, and I was trying to make at least one responsible decision that day. So when one of America’s most celebrated chefs asked if I’d like a cocktail, I […]

Thank you, Enmarket Arena. You changed Savannah. 5 years ago, if you wanted to see a major concert, you got in the car. Atlanta. Jacksonville. Maybe Charleston. You sat in traffic, fought parking garages, and eventually found your seat somewhere inside a massive building that never felt connected to where you lived. Then you showed […]

Hannah Dasher has the kind of voice that makes people turn around before they even know why. Part of it is the sound. Part of it is the timing. But a lot of it is that she still feels unmistakably Southern in a way that cannot be manufactured. Not softened for mass appeal. Just fully, […]

There is a moment when a coffee shop stops being a coffee shop. It becomes the place people drive past other places to reach. The place where the light feels right. The chairs feel considered. The team remembers how you take it. The room somehow knows what it is before you do. That is the […]
