Making healthy changes — one small step at a time
When life is busy and happiness seems far away, it’s easy to look for instant gratification, such as that second or third beer before dinner, or a big dish of ice cream rather than a healthy lunch.

IF THE NAME R. LAND doesn’t sound familiar, perhaps the Atlanta-based artist’s “Loss Cat” poster might ring a bell.

Editor’s Note: Ben Carter, tourism, and ‘unknown facts’
While tourism in Savannah is robust, our numbers of “actual” tourists are likely far lower than usually cited by local movers and shakers in order to justify whatever it is they want to do, and want us to pay for.
