SCAD has always had some good exhibition spaces and the college’s Museum of Art in Kiah Hall on MLK has had some outstanding exhibits through the years. But now the Museum of Art has dramatically expanded — an additional 65,000…
Apple’s costumer service isn’t living up to its innovative technology. A friend of mine here in Savannah went to his carrier AT&T’s store on the Southside last Friday to preorder the new iPhone 4S. His current contract with AT&T has…
I used to be a big fan of David Brooks and his NYT column, which sometimes dealt with politics through a realistic, right-of-center perspective and sometimes seemed to channel significant cultural trends into a nifty 750 words. But what’s going…
The full lineup for the Savannah Film Festival is now available via a PDF download at the Savannah Box Office website. If you’re looking for IMDB links to a lot of the films, check out a previous post here. Some…
