Savannah is one of the most popular destinations to visit, and I am lucky enough to call it home. I decided to go off to college to get a different experience, considering I have lived there all my life. After being away for even just a few weeks, I start thinking about all the places I miss going to and actually have taken for granted. With that being said, I want to share the places I miss the most and would recommend to anyone lucky enough in visit my hometown.

1. The first stop you will need to make in Savannah is Broughton Street.

Leopold's is one of the oldest and most famous ice cream shops in the country. Michelle Obama even served Leopold's ice cream at one of her White House Tea's. Leopold's is located on Broughton Street, along with some of the cutest boutiques, restaurants, and shops that rival with even the biggest cities.

2. River Street

Sit back and watch the container ships go down the river while you are enjoying a praline from River Street Sweets. If you go on the first weekend of the month, you can enjoy the festivities of first Saturday by shopping for crafts and staying late for fireworks.

3. Tybee Island

Tybee Island is the best example of a laid back, carefree beach town. The sand isn't sparkling white, the water isn't crystal blue, but none the less, it is one of the best beaches you will ever visit simply because of the atmosphere. Take it from people like Billy Currington and Sandra Bullock, who both have houses on Tybee Island.

4. Spanky's

The most popular and locally owned restaurant that Savannah has is Spanky's. You can enjoy their world famous chicken fingers on River Street, Tybee Island, or South Side Savannah. If chicken fingers don't suit your taste buds, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

5. Forsyth Park

Enjoy picnics, a good run or walk, wearing out your dogs energy, a concert some nights, and even observing a wedding taking place by the beautiful Forsyth fountain. You can't go wrong with a day/night in Forsyth park.

6. City Market

City Market is located in the heart of Savannah, and it is great for a night on the town. There are a variety of restaurants, bars, great shopping, and local singers and bands to show off their talents every night. You won't leave here disappointed!

Writing this article has made me even more homesick! Although I love where I go to college and being away from home, I can't deny that Savannah is a wonderful place to call home, and I hope everyone gets an opportunity to experience it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
