In 2009, while I was still a “News Guy” at the local FOX affiliate in Savannah/Hilton Head, I wrote a blog about my mother. It was called “I’m Going Back for Mom.” I very simply told the story that while I had chosen to make Savannah my home and raise my daughter there, my work […]
Do you remember a time about a year ago when this city was seemingly strung out as tightly as a rubber band ready to snap whenever the subject of Food Trucks came along? It was about this time last year that the dialogue with the City of Savannah was pretty hot and heavy over what

We arrived at Treylor Park a bit early for dinner, around 6:00 on Monday evening. It was not crowded, so we were immediately escorted to our table. The place was cute, clean and cleverly decorated.
