We came back for the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra performance and didn't ride because it was cold and we needed to bring chairs. The performance was great, but the back gate to S.

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!

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.

Nice historic building that has been renovated keeping historic architectural elements.

Oak trees are most likely included in any description or picture of Savannah. That's what makes up…read morethe charm of this city, coupled with the Spanish Moss draping over the oak's large canopy and it makes even the not-so-nice parts of town, still so pretty! Candler Oak, however is a special oak tree. It is one of the oldest living landmarks in Savannah and os estimated to date back to around the 1700s. Thankfully, in the 80's, a group of citizens formed a group when the tree was at a risk of dying and have made great efforts in keeping this tree alive and protected. History was made when the group obtained the first conservation easement on a single tree. - Parking - Street parking. - Location - It's located right next to Forsyth Park, on Drayton and E Gaston Street, on SCAD's Ruskin Hall's property. There is an iron gate that surrounds the tree that is kept under lock and key. You can't get past the gate. As we visited it today, there were a group of workers, repaving the cement walls that surround it from the street. It looks like the cement walls have slowly collapsed over the years and there were quite large cracks to the foundation. The information board is also contained inside the gated area. According to the board, the last time they measured the tree was in 2003 and it is as follows: Diameter - 65 inches Circumference - 17 feet Height - 54 feet Width of the canopy - 110.25 feet - Fun facts - 2001 - Designated a Georgia Landmark & Historic Tree 2004 - Placed on National Register of Historic Trees Tip: There is actually a Dot bus stop right in front of it and Dots are free to ride in Savannah. If you're walking around Forsyth Park, it's definitely worth going over to the end of Forsyth Park to see this beautiful tree.

The Inglewood Night Markets = delicious food from around the world lining four blocks of my…read morefavourite street in Perth. I'm a Beaufort Street groupie, and I absolutely love night markets, so these markets really hit the spot. There is a lot of choice, both sweet and savoury. In fact, it's sensory overload for any self-respecting foodie. The temptation to try everything is strong, not helped at all by the friendly vendors who often seem to hand out samples. Out of those I tried, my favourite stalls were Marcelita's Empanadas (potato for this vegetarian), Patisserie Venezia (that chocolate and peanut butter concoction is divine), Lena Lu (arancini heaven) and Kommunity Brew (truly quaffable sparkling tea). It's not just about the food though. There are musicians everywhere as well as other performers, which creates a great vibe. More than anything else, I really like the sense of community the markets bring. Now for some useful/boring stuff... Firstly, the markets are open from 6 to 9:30 on Monday nights during the warmer months, and they're located between 7th and 10th Avenues on Beaufort Street. Secondly, although some of the stalls have EFTPOS, not all do. Fear not! There are ATMs on the East side of the street. I saw an ANZ across from the library and a Westpac near Miss Kitty's Saloon. Next, there are toilets at Mondo's and the library. Finally, the 950 bus goes down this strip frequently on its way from Morley to UWA (passing by Perth train station and the busport), so the markets are well connected as far as public transport goes. To sum up, the Inglewood Night Markets are a great night out, and you should definitely give them a go!

The music is playing, the smell of hot and fast cooked food is wafting and the queues start early. There is a range of food trucks dotted around - Soul food (pulled pork, slaw and chipotle bun $10), Tex Mex, Marcelita's Empanadas, Miam Miam and more. The local restaurants and cafe have accommodated for the influx of people such as Miss Kitty's, Sugar and Nice, Estia, Himalayan Nepalese, Golden Star and some even offer special menu deals. Further up, closer to the Inglewood library there are fresh produce, arts and craft stalls selling all kinds of trinkets and body products and buskers. It's really heartening to see a community come together and support local businesses. This definitely freshens up Inglewood's image and brings a festive vibe to the area.
