I’ve been writing a lot in my City Talk columns about the employment recovery in Savannah and in Georgia’s metro areas (some rural areas are still so weak in terms of hiring that it’s hard to use the word “recovery”),…
In my City Talk column for March 29, I talk again about Meldrim Row. (Click here for a post from June 2014 with more detailed background.) It’s absurd that the homes weren’t saved on the basis of their history, but…
It was a long 10 months or whatever in the wilderness for us Legion refugees. I live about 5 very short blocks from Savannah’s American Legion Post 135 and I’m sort of a night owl and I don’t watch much…
Yes, a post about the dress. If you’re irritated by it, don’t click on it. But I’m bored today, and I was curious just how easy it would be to manipulate “the dress” into either white/gold or blue/black. It took…
I wasn’t able to attend any of the Savannah Book Festival this year, but I’ve been following some of the action on Twitter and Facebook. (By the way, the SBF could be a lot more active on social media when…

My City Talk column today is about The Grey. I love it. I took a few photos with my new Fujifilm x100t when a friend and I ate there last Tuesday night.
With the 2015 state legislative session (for which I do not have high hopes) upon us, the AJC has released a fascinating interactive poll on a variety of issues. Let me say at the outset that one could make a…
From the Bureau of Labor Statistics today: Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 252,000 in December, and the unemployment rate declined to 5.6 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains occurred in professional and business services,…
