30 minutes over Savannah, in a B-25 bomber
SEVENTY-FIVE years ago this month, one of the most courageous acts in military history occurred: The fabled “Doolittle Raid.” Sixteen B-25 bombers, designed for land-based operations, took off from the deck of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier U.S.S. Hornet. Twin engines straining and lightened of all extraneous weight, the bombers took off on a one-way…

Editor’s Note: Devil in the details with Memorial buyout?
While on the surface this seems like a great deal, if you scratch the surface you see a few potential issues come up. Issues that, frankly, have received scant attention in the generally fawning regional press coverage of the deal.

In Hollywood, where there are cavernous prop warehouses, some props get returned to storage or donated. For productions shot anywhere else—including Savannah—chances are that it all ends up in the garbage.
2017 is #theyearofvegan with Tephra
VEGANISM. Plant based eating has been gaining traction over the last few years. While the first modern day vegans coined the term in the 1900’s, it seems like eating vegan food has become mainstreamed, and dare I say, trendy. People who identify as vegan choose to not consume or utilize anything that derives from animal…

Trail fever is spreading everywhere but here
I’VE BEEN thinking about alligators a lot lately. Haven’t we all? There’s the video of a scuffle between a wild horse and an alligator at a state park in Florida. And the South Carolina family’s encounter with a 9-foot long gator that “climbed a 15-foot staircase, broke open a screen, and barged into their enclosed…
