10 best things to do in Savannah, Georgia
Insider advice on the 10 best things to do in Savannah from a 10Best Local Expert.
Few cities in the US can match Georgia's oldest city when it comes to romance, charm and Southern hospitality. Spanish moss-draped oak trees, stately antebellum mansions, horse-drawn carriages and mint juleps sipped on graceful verandas pave the way for magical memories. The storied squares in this pedestrian-friendly city add a soft touch, enveloping the statues and memorials you'll find around almost every corner in the Historic District.
Founded in 1733 by British colonists led by Gen. James Oglethorpe, more than 800 of Savannah’s celebrated buildings have been refurbished by local organizations, resulting in a living museum in the largest urban National Landmark District in the US.
Visitors looking for a haunting experience won't be disappointed in what's often referred to as America’s most haunted city. Many historic cemeteries and B&Bs attest to frequent ghost sightings and haunted ghost tours - such as Blue Orb and Ghosts and Gravestones - take visitors beyond, the normal tourist experience. Bonaventure Cemetery, Colonial Park Cemetery and the Mercer House are worth a visit, whether you're looking for spirits - or not.
The celebrated Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Church and Congregation Mickve Israel - the third oldest Jewish congregation in the country - are remarkable. Also of note are the museums - from the contemporary Jepson Center to the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum and the Ships of the Sea Museum - there is something for every interest.
Several historic forts offer a peek into Civil War Savannah, while nearby Tybee Island offers refreshing beach time along with eclectic shops and funky eateries.

Following in the Footsteps of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Georgia's Civil Rights Trail
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. announced We've got some difficult days ahead at his final speech in Memphis, Tennessee, hours before being assassinated. Fifty years later, the state of Georgia is coming together to reflect on Dr. King's legacy with the opening of a statewide Civil Rights Trail. From Atlanta to Savannah with plenty of stops along the way, you can follow in the footsteps of the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, including Dr. King who was born and raised in Atlanta. See King's childhood home in the Old Fourth Ward, sing along with Freedom Singer Rutha Mae Harris at Mt. Zion First Baptist Church, and get a taste of Gullah/Geechee culture in rural Pin Point just outside of Savannah. Embark on your own journey to meet the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, the men and women who lived through the struggle, and reflect on your role in the progress of our society.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Country music, also known as country and western (or simply country), and hillbilly music, is a genre of popular music that originated in the southern United States in the early 1920s. It takes its roots from genres such as American folk music (especially Appalachian folk and Western music) and blues.
Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms, folk lyrics, and harmonies mostly accompanied by string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, steel guitars (such as pedal steels and dobros), and fiddles as well as harmonicas. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history.According to Lindsey Starnes, the term country music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to the earlier term hillbilly music; it came to encompass Western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar roots, in the mid-20th century. In 2009 in the United States, country music was the most listened to rush hour radio genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute.The term country music is used today to describe many styles and subgenres. The origins of country music are found in the folk music of working class Americans, who blended popular songs, Irish and Celtic fiddle tunes, traditional English ballads, cowboy songs, and the musical traditions of various groups of European immigrants.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
