IN OCTOBER 2001, a local paper named Connect Savannah merged with another local paper named Creative Loafing (which I edited at the time) to create the product you're looking at now.
| August 31, 2010Soon after BP capped the Deepwater Horizon well earlier this month, the all-clear came from the government. It was dutifully echoed by a compliant mainstream media which had lost enthusiasm for the oil spill story and was eager to move on to much more important issues, like where mosques are built.
| August 24, 2010One thing we've learned over the past year or two: the City of Savannah has some serious issues with local bars.
| August 17, 2010It's a myth that hard times bring out the best in people. They don't. It's something we say to comfort ourselves, to find meaning in tribulation.
| August 10, 2010I SWORE LONG AGO that whatever other questionable career decisions I might make, I would never, ever stoop so low as to write one of those schmaltzy, sappy, sentimental, horrifyingly clichéd pieces about a dear, departed pet.

| June 29, 2010The recent attack downtown by two Beaufort-based Marines on a local gay man, Kieran Daly, was not the first such incident. Nor, it must be said, the first involving members of the military.
| June 22, 2010Haha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." - Vizzini (Wallace Shawn), in The Princess Bride

| June 01, 2010Some people are just ahead of their time. Three weeks ago - before it became completely obvious to everyone what a huge, unmitigated disaster the BP Gulf oil spill was likely to be, with no end in sight as of this writing - Lisa Scarbrough decided to do what she could to help.
