Review of Savannah, Georgia


Climate and Crime in Savannah Ga.
Star Rating - 6/12/2007
Most the year the climate here is quite wonderful as are most of the people. But the months of July & August are Africa-HOT!!! And I know because I am African. Savannah prides itself as being a traditional southern town and it is, minus the red necks and bigots of days gone by. Unfortunately there is a crime problem here that surprised me when I relocated here from NYC area. However, the city mayor and new police commissioner seem determine to stem the tide. There are plans to open 11 new police stations, in addition to the walking patrolmen they have already added, and mounted police in areas where we never saw a police presence before.

All in all, I love it here. If I want to enjoy some big city attraction and culture...Atlanta with all its hustle bustle is north of here by 5 hours...and Jacksonville Florida is south by 2.5 hours.

Good luck y'all!
