Letters to the Editor
Communities aren’t only about property values Editor, Savannah is changing. On East Park Avenue the smell of fresh paint is redolent. The neighborhood is coming up. Within a year of our moving here in October 2004, real estate prices climbed an easy $100,000 on the old colonials like ours. It took our breath away. It…
