(and you thought it was just about haunted happenings and witches!)<BR/><BR/>I did a pictorial essay about the city on my blogsite -- cobblestones and all.<BR/><BR/>http://radiopatriot.blogspot.com/2007/09/no-place-like-home.htmlAndrea Shea Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096392660279770757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-7609017914030378272007-09-29T12:24:00.000-07:002007-09-29T12:24:00.000-07:00I thoroughly believe in spirits, Joker, so you'd t...I thoroughly believe in spirits, Joker, so you'd think we would have noticed "things" happening in that old house, wouldn't you? But I didn't. <BR/>OPD, do you remember anything odd happening?<BR/><BR/>We had four busy months in Savannah during our training. The workday, followed by the playday, stayed pretty full, so we didn't get around to do much "tourista" stuff at that time. OPD referred to the "custom made coffee table"...<BR/>We threw a party for classmates and informed all that the price of admission was an item to help fill the old house with furniture and accessories. Two imaginative couples built a coffee table that appeared to have an on-going game of poker taking place on it...<BR/>cards displayed, ashtrays, and even cigarettes that looked, for all intents, like everyone had just gotten up from the table to take a potty break. It was AMAZING!<BR/><BR/>I returned to Savannah post-Viet Nam to teach Vietnamese Air Cadets to fly Hueys, and was there for 30 months. I lived outside the city then and didn't get into the older part of town often at night. Obviously this was all pre-release of "The Garden of Good and Evil"... actually much of what happens in the book was probably goin' on while I was there.<BR/><BR/>Its a wonderful, beautiful town.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-36891384747884537512007-09-27T10:56:00.000-07:002007-09-27T10:56:00.000-07:00I know you were busy with bars, beach parties, dri...I know you were busy with bars, beach parties, drinking and "women!", but did you ever go to any haunted places there?<BR/>I've heard it's one of the most "haunted" cities in the US.<BR/><BR/>I bet your 200+ yr old townhouse was haunted.The Jokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901382895476261522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-1888894373424862992007-09-27T08:16:00.000-07:002007-09-27T08:16:00.000-07:00You didn't mention the beach parties, daquiries, c...You didn't mention the beach parties, daquiries, custom made coffee table or the BAR.
