Bicycles and Sidewalks: What’s the deal anyway?
While it’s illegal for those over 12 to ride on the sidewalk, we receive mixed messages. One Savannah resident told me she was ordered onto a sidewalk by a law enforcement officer, who used his patrol car’s loudspeaker to issue the command.

Stopover: Top Five at Five (Years)
FIVE years ago, Kayne Lanahan saw an opportunity: tastemaker fest SXSW was getting much too large, and bands were heading down I-95 without hitting Savannah—an easy place to, ahem, stop over on the way to Austin.
