If you live in this area then you know most of things that make it special. Food has gotten a lot of attention over the last few years, and rightly so. But what to eat isn’t the only thing that attracts national attention. The ghosts have shared some time in the spotlight, as has Savannah’s place in America’s history.
Heck, if you count the number of times a television series or major motion picture has been shot in and around Savannah, then you would have to agree that there has been a never ending flow of national attention.
But you don’t always get travel host royalty spending time in our city. Not on the clock at any rate. That changed last week when Samantha Brown spent a few days popping around town for a new episode for the 5th season of her show “Places to Love.”
Photos bubbled across social media for the better part of the week as Samantha and her film crew made their way to The Wyld Dock Bar, Cha Bella, Big Bon Bodega and Service Brewing Company, which is where I caught up with her before Service’s Weekly Run Club, which she was about to participate in.
At Service she told me it had easily been a decade since she’d been in Savannah. She loved what has become of the city and was excited about what they had featured already.
She and the team had been in St. Augustine, Florida before making the trip here. Their next stop was to be Chattanooga, Tennessee.
It is obviously not the first time a major TV host has stopped in Savannah. Years back Man vs. Food Host Adam Richman visited Savannah. Same goes for Andrew Zimmern, who has stopped off in Savannah more than once.
“Places to Love” Season 5 will air early 2023. Find more on her website here.
