I think the opening of Savannah’s Whole Foods Market later this summer is going to be a major milestone for the city. Savannah’s food culture has developed in positive ways in recent years, with larger numbers of residents investing in…
Maybe I should begin by saying that I’m trying out Facebook’s new graph search using my old Mac laptop, OS 10.5.8, with Safari 5.0.6. Maybe the age of those systems is contributing to the new search system’s abject failures here…
The Wild starts a long summer tour today in Cincinnati that will take them from coast to coast supporting their stirring new album Dreams Are Maps. I’ve been following The Wild’s energetic, passionate music for about a year and a…
Ben Tucker’s passing is certainly one of the saddest and most newsworthy events in recent memory here in Savannah. But the New Orleans-style processional after the funeral service at Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Ascension was joyous and beautiful. And…
I wrote just a few days ago about Damon and the Shitkickers and their great debut album Short Cups and Long Nights, so I won’t say much more here. The extended happy hour at The Jinx to launch the album…

In the second half of my City Talk column today, I write about the obvious incompatibilities of having a racetrack serve as an access road for businesses on Hutchinson Island and for several planned or plotted high-end residential developments. Adam…

I didn’t know Matt Kohler, but it sounds like he was a great guy. From Moon River Brewing Company’s event page for Matt’s Moon River Cruise: This event is named in memory of Matt Kohler, who was hit from behind…
From the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 175,000 in May, and the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged at 7.6 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment rose in professional and business services,…
UPDATE, 6/7, about noon: Most of the rain from Andrea stayed on the west side of the storm as it came up the southeast coast last evening and night. It looks like we had something less than 2 inches of…
Apparently this video/audio has been making the rounds for awhile, but it just crossed my desk tonight:
I include relatively short block quotes from many published sources in posts here at Savannah Unplugged. Often, those 1-3 paragraphs (almost always less than 10 sentences, I’d guess) give my readers here a pretty good sense of the key information…
