Editor’s Note: Tony Thomas takes City Council with him to rock bottom
JUST TWO DAYS after the incredibly ugly spectacle of last week’s censure hearing of Alderman Tony Thomas, City Council entered a retreat to come up with a strategic plan for all of Savannah. There’s no punchline — that’s the joke. Yes, the same almost cartoonishly argumentative and mutually mistrustful group attempted, with a consultant’s help,…
The art of the chef’s knife
OF ALL the equipment in the kitchen, the chef’s knife is the most personal and useful tool you’ll ever want for. Its general shape hasn’t changed since the Middle Ages. The standard European design was meant to be as utilitarian as possible to slice, dice, and butcher. The chef/cook’s knife cost a lot of money…

Laiken Love: In demand and in control
HAS ANY Savannah singer come as far, and as fast, as Laiken Love? Barely five years after taking voice lessons and starting her own band and two years after she says she “turned a corner,” she’s one of our city’s most in-demand female vocalists. Jazz, funk, blues, classical, pop, you name it, her style and talent emerged in a short…

Explore the new Savannah African Art Museum
IN THE TRANQUIL Thomas Square neighborhood, the cream-colored, Spanish-style manse stands out among the historic Victorians. But what’s inside sets it apart even further—an entire continent apart, in fact.

A modest proposal re: Home-sharing
When it comes to home-sharing, the City has decided to prohibit the entire base activity, rather than find a way to curb any potential problems, which can probably be handled by enforcing laws and regulations already on the books. Instead, we get a blanket taking of property rights from home-owners.

Was there ever any determination as to the dangerousness of Agent Orange?
If it seems surprising that the U.S. has yet to fully flush a Vietnam-era toxic agent from its system, consider that nobody’s figured out how to get rid of Henry Kissinger either
