    In a city like Savannah that is overflowing with creativity and talent and home to SCAD, the city's…read moreprestigious art school, it's mind boggling why there aren't an overabundance of art murals around the city. Having said that, I have definitely seen an increase of art murals in the short time I have lived here and Starland Mural Project (SMP), organized by the owner of Starlandia Supply is trying to do just that. To increase the accessibility and number of public murals, primarily in the Starland District. SMP's goal is to create eight new murals, in eight weeks by eight local artists on the walls of the old Starland Dairy, located on the corner of Bull Street and 41st Street. The murals will be up for only about a year, while the Starland Dairy completes its makeover. SMP seeks sponsors and donations to reach a $15,000 fundraising goal to be able to compensate the artists for their work at a fair and decent wage. You may recognize some of the participating artists: - Amiri Geuka Farris: he's done murals at the Savannah Children's Museum - Tyriq Maxwell - Jose Ray: we saw him working on the mural during our visit. Always cool to meet and watch an artist in action. - Jon Witzky - Xavier Hutchins - Kevin Bongang - Dana Richardson - Juliana Lupacchino: She is also known by the name of Ju Lu and her murals are in Starland Yard, as well as various prints on items around the city. She has a fun and playful style to her art and I can recognize it immediately! My kids and I stopped by to see the progress of the murals and as of this writing (week of Thanksgiving 2019), some of the murals seem incomplete. We saw and met Jose Ray on site, finishing up his mural and he said that all the artists were trying to finish by the "First Friday in Starland" as an unofficial deadline. So needless to say, the pics I've attached is the "work in progress". Love hunting for art murals and there is a gold mine of them, 8 to be exact, that can be found on Bull and 41st Street. Happy mural hunting and Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

    Whenever I visit an area, I love looking for local art and murals. Starland Mural Project in…read moreSavannah is an example of one. It's smaller than I've seen elsewhere, but I'm sure will increase in time. If you ever go to downtown St. Pete, FL, you can actually take a tour of all of the beautiful murals everywhere, a walking tour and a biking tour. Back to this local mural project, I love the color and the expression. My doggie loves to take pics next to them too. Well, he doesn't seem to mind as you can tell from the pics lol! Check it out! They are not far from Starland yard which is a food truck park(which is cool to see in Savannah) and down the street from Back in the day Bakery. One of these days when I visit again I'll check it out.

    This is one of Augusta's most rewarding museums, a place that manages to tell a 12,000‑year story…read morewithout ever feeling overwhelming. The Augusta Museum of History is the city's oldest historical institution, founded in 1937 and now the only accredited museum in the Central Savannah River Area, which gives it a level of curatorial depth you can feel as you move from room to room. The museum's signature exhibition, Augusta's Story, begins with the region's earliest Indigenous cultures, including artifacts from the Stallings Island people, and then moves through the Colonial Era, the antebellum period, the Civil War, and the city's twentieth century reinventions. You see everything from slave‑made pottery to a 12‑pounder bronze Napoleon cannon tube and an 1869 steam fire engine tied to the devastating 1916 fire that reshaped parts of the city. It's a rare chance to see Augusta's full arc laid out in a way that feels comprehensive. The museum also excels at capturing the city's cultural identity. The James Brown gallery is a highlight, celebrating the life and global influence of the "Godfather of Soul" with photographs, stage pieces, and biographical context that show how deeply he shaped Augusta's modern identity. Several media options to watch him performing and to hear other leading figures discuss his influence. The golf and Masters Tournament section offers a thoughtful look at how the sport became intertwined with the city's reputation, and the medical history exhibit includes an impressive wall of antique medicine bottles that gives you a sense of how local healthcare evolved over generations. One of the most enjoyable parts of the visit is the Transportation Corridor, which brings Augusta's mobility story to life with a 1914 steam locomotive, a 1917 steam trolley, a reconstructed 1930s gas station, and a range of early vehicles. Walking through the restored streetcar and stepping into the rail car for photos adds a tactile, playful element that balances the more traditional exhibits. Upstairs, the museum's radio history exhibit traces the rise of WBBQ, one of Augusta's most influential stations, including a "then and now" section installed for its 60th anniversary. There are also exhibits on local law enforcement and firefighting, as well as a gallery of regional legends that highlights entertainers, athletes, writers, and other notable Augustans. The entire museum is comfortably explored in about two hours, which makes it an easy and rewarding stop whether you're spending a full day downtown or pairing it with the Morris Museum of Art or the Riverwalk. It's the kind of place that leaves you with a clearer sense of Augusta's character, from its earliest settlements to the voices and industries that shaped the city you see today. Don't miss it.

    We were in town for the weekend and decided to pay this place a visit. The admission price was…read moreonly a dollar so you really can't go wrong with that price. The first floor has a pretty extensive history of the city and was very interesting. The second floor has about five other sections including golf, James Brown, medical, and locals.
