The first thing you encounter is the "No Nonsense" Security. They ARE NOT messing around. If you are a visitor from out of town, this can seem incredibly off putting. They don't care if you are a tourist, they don't want to make your stay in Savannah the best it can be. They want to get you the heck through security safely. Be ready. Don't expect service with a smile. Second, the person responsible for our marriage license did seem to be a joyless bureaucratic machine, but we did get our license completed with no fuss or muss. The person after us was there to renew his carry permit and he also went away with what he came for. In-between we had some random person who wanted to ask "A quick question". She disallowed this to continue to focus on the business at hand and directed them to someone who was not involved in an activity. So while I don't disagree with Karen D's assessment, I think they do provide the customer the service they arrived for, they just rarely do it with a smile.

Haunted Square…read more There are 22 of these "Squares" in Savannah. Squares are like parks. One of them is Wright Square and it was one of the original four squares to be laid out in Savannah's Historic District. The Square is named Wright Square in honor of Sir James Wright, the last Royal Governor of (the Province of) Georgia. Two monuments reside on Wright Square. Not a military person but one of the monuments honor the life and achievements of a wealthy and influential railroad tycoon named William Washington Gordon I. Yup, there he stands in the center of Wright Square. The other memorial is that of Tomochichi, a Yamacraw Indian Chief. The memorial is actually a huge boulder of Georgia granite located in the Southeast side of the square in memory of Tomochichi. He assisted James Oglethorpe in the establishment of the Georgia colony and was buried in Wright Square in 1739. The ghost of Tomochichi (allegedly) still resides in Wright Square. Located on Bull Street between State and York Streets, bordered by courthouses and other historic buildings, it is one of the oldest of the City's squares... and haunted! But then most of Savannah is haunted like the true story of Alice Riley, the first woman to be sentenced to death in Savannah in the hanging tree! I always find it interesting to find out the history of these places! In the daytime it looks like a normal park... oh, if you only knew the haunted stories behind this Square. Review #1853

For our Monday visit the streets were pretty empty due to Covid and I was able to get some nice shots of the buildings. Interesting trivia: The Four Corners of Law was coined in the 1930s by Robert Ripley, creator of Ripley's Believe it or Not! and it has been called that ever since. Review #1847

This seems to have been a change when those charged with a crime have to come in and check with an officer at a desk before the second metal detector. Of course, you can enter from Broad Street (the actual address of this courthouse is 100 Broad Street) and then you only have one set of metal detectors to go through, but where do you park your vehicle on Broad Street? Good luck with that. After a decade or so, this courthouse still seems fresh and new, having been well maintained.

My nightmare started on 8/1/2023 with my wife and I returning from our vacation in Florida. I was traveling NB on 95, in the middle lane when I seen Mr. Parker standing on the side of the road with something in his hands. As I get closer, I look at my speed 81, 82. I look back and Parker is running to his car! Parker jumps in his car, lights blaring closes the gap between me and himself extremely quickly. Parker proceeds to tailgate me, until I pull over to the shoulder. Very, very, very unsafe by the unprofessional person. Parker approaches my driver side window. Parker informs me that he pulled me over for "driving at an excessive speed". Never in my 60 years have I NOT been told how fast I was traveling to be pulled over. No transparency. Identifies himself, and ask for my drivers license. He sprints away, with my license returning quickly and hands me a citation for 87 MPH in a 70 MPH zone. I ask, how did you clock me? Parker, immediately points to my cruise control to verify this legal extortion. When I was in Florida I had my cruise set to 85, not in Georgia, and definitely not in the middle lane. That was his justification on the stop. I point out that if I indeed had my cruise set to 85, then why write the ticket for 87? Parker's response was he used laser as his clocking device and it was just calibration 2.5 days ago. LOL I FOIA Parkers P.O.S.T records (Ga. Training Records), his salary, the calibration certificates for the tuning forks used during my traffic stop. There was more things I requested, but I won't list them all. The leader of this pack is Trexler, he is an elected official who denied my FOIA request, based on the case is still open. I need to file a discovery to obtain this information. Think.....If, there was nothing to hide, why not send it to prove I'm wrong? Hmmmmm....No Transparency.... BE CAREFUL IF YOU'RE AN OUT OF STATE DRIVE IN THIS COUNTY!!!

On the front, "Colleton County Courthouse. The original section of this courthouse, completed in 1822 after the county seat moved to Walterborough from Jacksonborough, was built by contractor William Thompson. The front portico is attributed to Robert Mills, who completed an unfinished design by William Jay. The courthouse was in such poor condition within a few years, however, that it was extensively renovated in 1843-44." On the reverse, "Colleton County Courthouse. This courthouse, listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, is built of brick covered in stucco to imitate stone. It was enlarged in 1916 by a frame wing on the west elevation. In 1937-39 a project of the Works Progress Administration covered the west wing with brick, built a new brick wing on the east elevation and an addition on the north entrance, and remodeled the interior. Erected by the Colleton County Historical and Preservation Society, 2001" Walterboro is the county seat of Colleton County, which is named after Sir John Colleton, 1st Baronet, one of the eight Lords Proprietor of the Province of Carolina.
