As a Savannah local, I can confirm these are all super accurate! One other thing I’d like to add is tourists just being rude to us or thinking they know more about what’s acceptable in the city when we’re trying to do things. I had the worst experience with a tourist when I was doing a photo shoot outside of the St. John the Baptist church (the beautiful church that everyone loves to come visit). If you’re local, you know this is a hot spot for photos, especially wedding pictures, so there’s usually always someone taking photos there on the weekends. I was doing a photo shoot in front of the left side of the church (away from the entrance) and a tourist came up ranting to me about how she was offended by the fact that I was taking photos in front of the church because it was offensive to her religion. I asked if she was a member of the church, but she told me she was visiting, but she spoke on behalf of the entire catholic religion. I was appalled, as I wasn’t the only one around doing a photo shoot, and I told her I was a local and I’ve taken photos in front of this church for years and I even know a few of the members that run the church and give tours, and they don’t mind at all that people are using the beautiful building as a backdrop in tons of photos. I even went on to explain to her that I was also religious and I didn’t see how it was an issue since we were being respectful to the church and others in the area while taking photos (I maybe had a crew of 3 people and 3 models and we weren’t making a bunch of noise compared to the constant hum of downtown traffic). She berated us for a few minutes, yelling at us that it wasn’t right and that she was offended. I just carried on what I was doing and apologized that I offended her, but I wasn’t doing anything illegal (or even out of the ordinary) so I was just going to get back to my shoot. After she finally left, a few other tourists that were a part of her tour group came back and apologized on behalf of her because even they thought she was being ridiculous for ridiculing us. I’m just glad that I wasn’t the only one that thought she was being extremely rude and entitled. Please don’t act like you own the city when you are just visiting and respect the locals that have been here long enough to know what’s acceptable!

Savannah is our home and I’m a 4th generation native. We live downtown near our family businesses so we have work, our kids school events and others things to do and it can be a bit challenging to maneuver around tourists at times. Thanks Again!
As a local, the line for Leopold’s is totally worth it. We will absolutely judge you if you don’t eat at real restaurants, and don’t ask us about Paula Deen’s because none of us have ever been. She’s not even from here, she just adopted us. Everyone hates the bar bikes and we are absolutely judging you and your wedding party. Most crucially, these are real streets with real cars, look before you step off the sidewalk. It’s not Disney World. And like Wolter said, don’t mosey as you cross the street. We are yielding begrudgingly but are absolutely thinking of just running you over because you’re taking a leisurely stroll through moving traffic.

Thanks for talking about the traffic around our squares. Great it like a roundabout because that's what it is. Another thing is on main streets like Oglethorpe and Liberty, unless marked otherwise, treat it like you would a divided highway. You can make a left turn, just yield to oncoming traffic. When there's a light, roll on.
Omg born and raised in Savannah and still live here. These are pretty spot on and definitely my fav is when you mentioned whoever is driving in the square has the righter way! 👏🏾
I adore Savannah , I go on the off time I suppose but I love the people, the food and just the air of being there. So much to do and see and I just can’t say enough wonderful things about it.

I was warned away from Lady & Sons. My favorite is Little Duck Diner.
I was born and raised here. You nailed it. I couldn't have said any of this better myself lol.
I have lived in Savannah since January of 2008 and you are spot on with this video.
We live two hours south of Savannah. Every day-trip of weekend is great fun! It’s NOT St. Augustine, it’s NOT Charleston and definitely not Atlanta. We love NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami and much more. Savannah is a fun foodie, historic, chilled town. Take a hop on hop off then walk walk walk, don’t wait until you’re thirsty, drink lots of water even before coffee. Mark and I can tell you the best restaurants but you should find your own special spots (they’re everywhere)! One last thing, thank you Mark for all the wonderful videos. I owe you a big beer!
30-year Savannah resident, here. It's my adopted hometown. We're so proud of our city and we love visitors! They don't call Savannah the Hostess City for nothing! For driving around our squares, just remember that it's the same as driving in a roundabout. The vehicle already in the square has the right of way. Another piece of advice... Don't be offended if locals address you as "sir" or "ma'am". In the south, it is considered polite and respectful to address strangers and elders this way, so just know that the locals are trying to show you respect, not insult you.
As a local, the only thing that bugs me from tourists is not understanding the squares and right-of-way. Think of the squares as big roundabouts with parks in the middle. If a car is "on" the square, it has right of way. All cars coming "onto" the square must yield to them. To be fair, some locals are guilty of this too, but education has to start somewhere!
I as in Savannah last year. Loved it.
I'm from down the road (Bluffton,SC).Love Savannah
I grew up there. Worked at Savannah Smiles. Had a blast there. VERY accurate, BTW!
You missed the 2 most annoying things. 1) Don't stop in middle of the street because you are lost or taking pictures. 2) Tour buses are like following snails and take both lanes...at a snails pace.

I was born in Savannah and sweet tea is normal tea-it's ok to ask for un-sweetened tea (bless your heart) and many places will ask if that's what you want but being clear upfront is always appreciated----another tip for tourists is the Spanish moss has red bugs so don't let the kids grab an armload

When we lived down in the Savanah area, we never heard it called "Slo‐vannah". As far as driving, y'all can't drive, no matter tourist or locals. As far as the bugs go, I never had a problem w/the skeeter. I, however, was eaten alive by the no see-ums and ticks. I can't reccomend "Huey's on the River" enough. We had to move and I do miss Savannah.
I agree. Not only when driving but walking downtown. It will be entire families taking up the entire sidewalk, walking -3 mph like nobody is behind them or people don't have places to be. It's deeply inconsiderate.

I appreciate to know the local culture and learn how to keep it that way.. If I wanted other places to be like where I am from, why would I visit? Slow is why I am there, I am there to learn and share in their culture not spread mine. That is anywhere I go. Too much of the same thing is boring! Again, why I am traveling would be for the above mentioned.
Extremely accurate born and raised in the 912. Manners go along way. Be courteous.
Two other tips I'd like to add, and these are extended to food delivery drivers as well. You are not allowed to stop (even with your hazards on) on Drayton or Whitaker. Old school cops will write you up in a second for this. Also, when you're traveling Oglethorpe and Liberty (east or west) and you're turning off, when in the median, you DO NOT HAVE TO OBEY THE RED LIGHT. You, by law, should continue through the light as it only pertains to the traffic already traveling North and South. One more little thing. I don't mind Slowvannah. And, I even prefer Sadvannah. Sometimes this place is just hurting and you have to take the good with the bad:) It isn't perfect. Nowhere is. The segways are far more annoying than the slow rides. edit: mispelling

Leopold's is definitely worth the wait. The line moves quickly. Savannahians don't eat at Lady & Sons because they know the food is slightly below average.

@@disembwl I can only imagine how crazy that must've been!
I'm not local, but I work in Savannah frequently. I've never heard "slovannah" before. Lol I love that you showed Wiley's BBQ. It's one of my favorites. I'm going to disagree with you about Leopold's. Their Honey Almond ice cream is AMAZING. I don't go if the line is crazy long though. You can find off hours to visit.
