PWelcome! icturesque, charming and Savannahatmospheric,continues to rank as one of America’s favor ite cities. It’s a pitch-perfect blend of stately but lively, familiar but unique, chic but classic. It’s also a place found ed on the principles of the Enlightenment, and built upon the strength of the friendship between General James Oglethorpe and Chief of the Yamacraw, Tomochichi. Here, you will find a multitude of architectural gems, 22 of the city’s 24 original squares, endless rows of towering live oaks, and amazing stories about those who have lived here during the last 300 years. In the fall, the heat settles but Savannah’s lush and verdant landscape remains the same. It’s an ideal time of year to take in the city in the open air, or drive out to the wonderfully scenic Tybee Island, just 20 minutes from downtown. This breezy barrier isle has a great vibe, fresh seafood and plenty to do. Bike from one end to the other, climb one of seven surviving colonial-era lighthouses, choose from a variety of water sports, charter a boat or just enjoy the feel of the sand and the sounds of the sea. In this issue of Savannah Scene, we sample the incred ible flavors of Sichuan foods with E-Tang, cruise the Historic District with Savannah Cruzers and tell the story of the singing impressionist who will channel Frank Sinatra for Savannah on September 25th!
There’s so much to discover here, and at Savannah Scene, we hope to guide you as you experience it all. As always, our Calendar of Events will keep you up to date on what there is to do and see and our “Must Taste” feature high lights some of the city’s most popular dishes.

Tess is also really proud to be filling a void she observed in Savannah’s tour offerings back in 2018, when she bought a five-passenger golf cart and started running tours all by herself. “They were almost all walking tours at that time, so those with physical challenges, time constraints and young children were unserved.” Hopping on also allows for the coverage of far more ground, but what you really don’t want to miss are “the stories,” Tess enthuses, “unbelievably strange but true, heart tugging narratives.

It’s also ranked #15 of 244 listed tours in Savannah! “I am humbled by the wonderful response” says Tess Scheer, Secretary of the Bonaventure Historical Society and founder of avannah ru ers. ’m so proud of the amazing team we have assembled.”
I f you ask the Internet about Savannah Cruzers, you’ll find endless rave reviews about its expert guides.
BonaventureGolfHistoricElectricCruzersSavannahCarToursOfSavannahCartToursOfCemetery
Tours run seven days a week, year-round. Reservations are requested, but walk-ups can hop on when seats are available, and outings usually last about an hour.
“Visitors asked me all the time whether or not our team could conduct tours downtown in similar low-speed vehicles. I did some research and found the GEM: a quiet, eco-friendly, batterypowered, six-passenger car with a smooth ride, comfortable bucket seats and ample leg room.” But the pièce de résistance was this: the roofs are glass. “I always preach look up,” says Tess. “Gargoyles, Mansard roofs, the intricate details — so much of Savannah’s beauty is in the rooflines, and having an unobstructed view while protected from the elements is just perfection.”
These top-notch operators are in their element as they analyze and interpret Victorian symbolism, reveal personal stories, and discuss the meaning and historical relevance of Bonaventure Cemetery’s foliage, crypts, headstones and sculptures. Tour-goers report feeling transported, and often call out their Savannah Cruzers tour guides by name for their depth of knowledge, humor, and reverence for Bonaventure’s sacred grounds.
It’s no surprise, then, that Savannah Cruzers has earned TripAdvisor’s coveted “Traveler’s Choice” badge again in 2022.

Ask about discounts for second and third tours on your trip and getting picked up at the door of your hotel. The hardest part? Deciding which tour to do first, of course!
What may not be so obvious is that Tess has taken her show on the road (well, down the road) to the Historic District.

In 2022, Bob continues to bring the spirit of Ol’ Blue Eyes to audiences around the country through his acclaimed reenactment concert event, “One More For The Road.”
Named the No. 1 Singing Impressionist in the World by VH1 and People Magazine,
Eight hours later, he was opening for Nancy in the main showroom. Anderson soon became a regular on television, racking up more than 200 national and international appearances, and is the only performer ever to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson twice in one week.
Bob has been inducted into The Las Vegas Entertainers Hall of Fame, the Casino Legends Hall of Fame, and was voted Best Entertainer in Las Vegas six times.
“One More for the Road” September 25th at 7 p.m. Johnny Mercer Theatre 301 W. Oglethorpe Ave. Savannah, GA ON Bob Anderson
Now, after spending many years in Vegas and Branson, Missouri, where he worked with the late Andy Williams, Anderson lives in Savannah! When he’s not touring, you might catch him on the golf course, hanging out with his son and grandkids, or singing impromptu in one of his favorite “Oneclubs.More for the Road” is a performance you’ve got to see to believe, but you can catch a glimpse of Bob’s incredible transformation on YouTube! Tickets to this onenight-only event are on sale now through www.Ticketmaster.com.
“You had me the second you walked onstage,” said singing legend Tony Bennett after seeing Bob up there as Sinatra. “Frank would have loved this show.” Stephen Sorokoff of the Times Square Chronicles echoed this sentiment. “There have been lots of Sinatra-type tribute shows over the years performed by many talented artists. However, the one that brings you the closest you will ever come to the man and his music was performed by Bob Anderson at Carnegie Hall. You had to remind yourself that it was really Bob Anderson and not the Chairman of The Board.”

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!
by Dani Ray I f you can believe it, Bob Anderson’s career started with a stroke of luck. The 23-year-old Vietnam vet happened to stop into the Sahara hotel in Las Vegas when Nancy Sinatra was there rehearsing with the Everly Brothers. When the siblings got into a fight and walked off, nderson approached the stage. “Hey, I’m a singer,” he said. “I can do whatever you need.”

VIRGO Happy Virgo season! This is your time to let plans flow more freely, since you rule grounded in communication. Make your spreadsheets and to-do lists more dynamic or rearrange your home space—beautiful things can come with the slightest of changes.
46 Savannah Scene September-October 2022 savannah.com HOROSCOPE SEPTEMBER 2022
CANCER You often nurture others, but this is the time to be a little more selfish. You may want to start by thinking about your own, personal wants and needs, then listing them in order of priority.
AQUARIUS Innovation and progression are your games. You refuse to conform, and these are some of your most compelling traits. At times, it’s important to regard tradition before leaping further—you can learn the most from how history tends to repeat itself.
ARIES
As a sign ruled by Mars, this month is due to bring you rapid changes regarding your career. Don’t hesitate to take these opportunities, but be sure to take them one at a time so as not to overload your plate!
LEO This month is a good time to shift your energy away from the things you can’t control and toward what you can. Remember: letting go can be equally as empowering as taking the lead.
LIBRA Diplomacy can lead you to being indecisive. Opposing viewpoints can be very valuable as context, but this month, relying on your gut for the answers will serve you well.
SCORPIO Be bold with your feelings! Your opinions are just as important as everyone else’s, and while silence can be powerful, you’ve been quiet for too long. When you feel passionately about something, say so!
SAGITTARIUS As a Sagittarius, you love to explore, but you can also operate very spontaneously. How can you gear your attention towards being more organized about your pursuits?
TAURUS This month, consider how your stubborn nature helps you move through life, and also how it affects your relation ships. As an earth sign, it’s not always bad to be like water fluidity can work best sometimes.
GEMINI Let’s face it—we all know Gemini are the true chatterboxes of the zodiac! How can you focus on using speech as a grounding force during this communicationruled month?
CAPRICORN Do you fear backlash when you let go of your routine? Remember: a lack of structure can be your best asset. Don’t lose all the structure you’ve built, but learn to let loose a little bit!
PISCES Your sister sign, Virgo, is in the spotlight this month along with Libra. Now, it’s time to focus on being less dreamy than you’re used to. Stay diligent, focused and clear-minded. Practicing this will bring you great rewards, and soon!

CANCER Let your feelings run free once in a while! As exhaust ing as it can be, crying can be a very cathartic experience, sometimes. Bottling up your emotions will eventually backfire!
CAPRICORN This is your time to meet your new best friend. You usually direct yourself inward, but now, your job is to look outward. Trust and human connection are soft spots for you, but with your diligence, anything is possible.
TAURUS Your sister season of Scorpio comes into full swing soon! You care about the overall, natural beauty of things, but Scorpio focuses on the logical well-being of things in order to be beautiful. How can you find a balance here?
PISCES Entering the waterdominated season of Scorpio, you are lamenting and looking back. Having an emotional past doesn’t always have to weigh you down, though. Let it fuel you!
VIRGO This month, your organized and structured ways will be especially helpful to you! Use these skills to analyze your deepest thoughts for better mental clarity. In the meantime, though, find a moment now and then that is unscheduled, and enjoy the peace of having nothing to do.
LEO Extravagance isn’t always superficial! You’ve recently brought out the most lavish and honest side of yourself. Scorpio season, though, forces you to shift your energy to being the most mentally healthy you can be. Sensitivity and empathy are key in this endeavor.
While you can share your needs and emotions easily and honestly, this month is about you focusing on how you can be vulnerable without being reactive. Less is more when it comes to interacting with those who don’t know you well yet.
SCORPIO With Scorpio season beginning alongside Halloween season, allow yourself to be the main character! This is the time to potentially reform your identity for the next year. Who can you become when you use self-awareness as your life source?
48 Savannah Scene September-October 2022 savannah.com HOROSCOPE OCTOBER 2022
GEMINI Having a fleeting mind is not a bad thing. In a season filled with intimacy, using your communication skills to create beautiful, honest partnerships will carry you far in the future.
LIBRA Have you felt beautiful this month? Now is your moment to really express your inner self. Living with opulence comes with a need for balance but you will be lucky in that this month. Just keep in mind the need to honor your desires while maintaining a healthy grounding.
SAGITTARIUS Slow down! This is an important time to rest, recharge, and prepare for your next adventure. We all know that you live your life in the fast lane. However, without any breaks, your ventures can’t materialize as rapidly as you wish. Be patient!
ARIES
AQUARIUS Uniqueness is your strong suit. However, progress isn’t possible if you can’t take inspiration from others. Their thoughts may differ, but perspective is what you need most!

N ovisit to Savannah is complete without a visit to the city’s historic cemeteries, each of which serves as a final resting place for many of Savannah’s most fascinating residents. Every one of these cemeteries is situated amid incred ibly scenic surroundings.
HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monument: Confederate Brigadier-General Alexander R. Lawton, Bonaventure Cemetery
Savannah photographer Jack Leigh captured the image that graces the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — a burial statue, nicknamed The Bird Girl, that once stood in the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery. The statue is currently on display at the Telfair Museum of Art.
Bonaventure was originally a 600-acre plantation, which was sold for $5,000 in 1846 to Savannah businessman Peter Wiltberger, who turned the land into a pub lic cemetery called Evergreen Cemetery. The City of Savannah purchased Evergreen Cemetery in 1907 and renamed it Bonaventure Cemetery.
Bonaventure CemeteryImmortalized by John Berendt in his bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Bonaventure is the final resting place for many of Savannah’s most prominent citi zens, including songwriter Johnny Mercer (1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken (18891973) and plantation owner Noble Jones (1701-1775), one of Savannah’s original settlers who colonized the city with General James Oglethorpe in 1733. Located along the scenic banks of the Wilmington River, Bonaventure Cemetery also features group burials for the American Legion Field, the Confederate States of America, the Order of Railroad Conductors and the veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Entrance to Colonial CemeteryPark
HOW TO GETTHERE: The main entrance is located at the corner of Abercorn St. and Oglethorpe Ave.
Colonial Park Cemetery is the city’s only nonactive cemetery, meaning that no more burials take place on this historic plot of land, located at the corner of Abercorn St. and Oglethorpe Ave. Walk through the graceful arch erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and you will discover a window into Savannah’s rich past. Many of Savannah’s earliest settlers are buried in Colonial Park, and their gravestones date back to the 1700s. Today, Colonial Park Cemetery serves as a park for many Savannah residents. Many Savannahians stroll through the cemetery in the early morning or walk their dogs with in the cemetery’s wrought iron perimeter in the evening.
Established in 1852, Laurel Grove Cemetery has thousands of graves that reflect Savannah’s rich history, situated amid groves of live oak, magnolia and dogwood trees. This contemplative site, which features ornate ironwork and magnificent statuary on many of the lots, was once called Springfield Plantation.
Laurel Grove is divided into two distinct sections by a highway con nector. Laurel Grove North, perhaps the better-known part of the cemetery, is the burial place of hundreds of Confederate soldiers, as well as prominent citizens like Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts, and Florence Martus, Savannah’s Waving Girl. Laurel Grove South serves as the final resting place for many members of Savannah’s African American community. Many enslaved people, freedmen and even two African American Confederate veterans are buried in Laurel Grove South.

Yellow Fever’s devastation plagued the early days of Savannah, but just off Reynolds Square, there is rumored to have been a property where malaria patients were committed that included a makeshift crematorium. Legend says victims were wrapped in sheets and burned, right in the middle of what is now Reynolds Square, to keep the disease from spreading. Perhaps that’s why visitors’ photos of John Wesley’s monument feature strange apparitions in the background? The apparition of James Habersham Jr. has been seen at The
THE SQUARESHAUNTED OF SAVANNAH
Just beyond Madison Square is the ground on which many lives were lost fighting during the Battle of Savannah. Before it was named after President James Madison, rumors of spirits and reports of paranormal activity surfaced. Some say a mass grave for dead soldiers lay in this very location, though there is no confirmation. Anchored by the statue of William Jasper, the square’s most common ghost has an eerie resemblance to the sculpture – a solid black shadow in the shape of a full-grown man.
Perhaps even more unnerving is the fact that the Sorrel-Weed House – a home where Matilda Sorrel supposedly committed suicide, which has been investigated by Ghost Hunters and featured on HGTV’s If Walls Could Talk and Travel Channel’s The Most Terrifying Places in America – opens onto the square. Also notable is that the Green-Meldrim House is on this square, which was General Sherman’s Headquarters during the Civil War.

Reynolds Square
Unsettling stories of torture, suicide and war sulk in the shadows of homes and historic areas all around Georgia’s First City. Though much of the landscape has changed, a few things have not. Some say these things are spirits who won’t leave their places of tragedy, while others say peoples’ minds play tricks on them. If you’d like to find out for yourself, explore these supposedly supernatural squares in Savannah.
Madison Square
Legend says victims of yellow fever were wrapped in sheets and burned, right in the middle of what is now Reynolds Square, to keep the disease from spreading. Olde Pink House, which opens onto this square, as well as his grandson, who likes to order a beer at the basement bar. (Be careful in the basement, because invisible children have been known to play tricks on people down there.)
in Wright Square, Yamacraw Chief Tomochichi was buried here in 1739, but 100 years later, his grave was desecrated by the city to make way for a monument to William Washington Gordon, a prominent politician and president of the Central Railroad and Banking Company. Does it come as a surprise that Tomochichi is still spotted centuries later? However, it’s Alice Riley who has attracted the most attention. As the story goes, she traveled to Savannah in 1733 with her domineering husband and several Irish servants. One year later, her husband was found dead in their home – murder suspected. Alice and one of the servants, Richard White, were missing and when suspicion arose, they were sentenced to death. Though she maintained her innocence, ultimately both were hung and Alice was supposedly left on the gallows for three days.
Wright Square Today, Wright Square may be a beautifully shaded section of land where guests learn a little history and enjoy a snack from one of the nearby cafés, but it wasn’t always a place people wanted to visit. One of Savannah’s original squares, this site once held the gallows where many lives were Memorializedtaken.

Seymour is a meek assistant at a floral shop who happens upon a strange plant, which he affectionately names “Audrey II” after his crush at the shop. Little does he know this strange and unusual plant will develop a soulful R&B voice, a wicked sense of humor, and an unquenchable thirst for human blood! The show was recently revived Off Broadway and won the 2020 Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk Awards for Best Musical Revival. This “wildly exuberant” show will make audiences laugh, scream, and give up gardening for good!
