On Tuesday, Jan. 28, I began one of my journalism classes at Armstrong Atlantic State University with a brief consideration of a newly released “crowd-sourced” video of Neil Young’s recent Carnegie Hall concert. It’s a special topics class about new…
I haven’t read everything that Flannery O’Connor ever wrote — I haven’t yet tackled the recently released A Prayer Journal, for example. But I’ve been immersed to varying degrees in O’Connor’s life and work for I guess about a decade…

Back in the summer, Express spent several days here doing a fashion show and shooting still images for its holiday line. Now we have some of the video from those various shoots and productions.
Re: Magazine is a pretty slick product that has now published three editions. It’s produced by college students in Savannah.
New posts at Peach Pundit, a new tumblr page, still looking for advertisers, plus a little other information and a few links.
Little Beasts is closing, but the versatile gallery space will reopen under another name and under slightly different leadership in the coming weeks. The final group show — Last Beast — is a strong one, well worth a look by Savannah art lovers and collectors.
