Here's a few 'tourist spots' for the 1920s traveler to Savannah Ga:

The newly planned 'suburb' called Chatham Crescent was in full swing, many of the bungalow style homes were coming to completion. One of the contractors even built a home for himself and built one for his brother next door. You could catch the streetcar and go all the way down town.

The small rail line out to Tybee Island still took revelers out to the Tybrisa Pavilion, one of the most popular spots for dancing and hearing a band with the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop. They even wrote a song called 'Where the Georgia Peaches Go' in 1926 that was often heard at the pavilion.

The Central Georgia railroad was running into the roundhouse complex on the west side of town, and the Union Station allowed passengers to disembark and take their business into the city. There was a connecting streetcar that took you to the train that went to Tybee Island.

Flannery O'Connor was born in a house across the square from St John the Baptist and its twin-spired cathedral. The DeSoto Hilton was a beautiful brick hotel with terra cotta decorations that boasted a beautiful reception hall and a grand wrap around porch with rocking chairs.

Johnny Harris opened his dining establishment, that eventually became a place to dine and dance as well. The Bannon Lodge at Thunderbolt Island was famous for its seafood and did even get mention in some national press for its fresh seafood.

The Lucas Theater opened in 1923 and was one of the first to boast air conditioning.

Bales of cotton still lined the docks at the port on their way to destinations as far as Europe, but the boll weevil made them go away, so paper and fiber processing and sugar became the regions bread and butter.

Ellington, Calloway, James Johnson, and Bessie Smith were among some of the musical acts that made their way through Savannah. And although officially frowned upon, home made liquor was not difficult to get on the West Side, from Yamacraw, or in Frogtown.

Lots of people knew that you could get your dry cleaning done by one of the greatest ball players to ever disgrace himself [some say he never did]. Shoeless Joe owned the Savannah Valet Service that opened in 1921. It had 2 locations...

Grayson Stadium had replaced Botlon Field and folks could go see the Sallie League Indians play the Jacksonville Tars.

People listen in to WRAB starting in 1923 and can fly out of the airport on eastern air lines starting in 1928 to both Miami and New York City.
