Angie said: “Juliette Gordon Low’s Birthplace! She is the founder of girl scouts.”
Kimberly said: “I’ve lived there my whole life! Moved to North GA almost 2 1/2 years ago. For a better beach, you may want to try Hilton Head which is not far from Savannah. Downtown is rich in history… just be cautious on weekends and late evening. Downtown is nice for the history and museums but be sure to venture out to the other areas. Some of the surrounding areas have things to do as well.“
