Savannah Signs

On my first trip to Savannah in two decades, I had forgotten about these “Use at Your Own Risk” stairs leading down to River Street (one of many sets of them, by the way.)

However, I remembered this awesome vintage motel sign the moment it came into view after exiting the Talmadge Memorial Bridge.

It’s comforting to see Sylvia the Psychic has endured among all the old and new tourist destinations along River Street.

An Oyster Bar and a Tiki Bar? Both high on my list of places to visit the next time I’m in town.

Broughton Street, downtown’s main shopping thoroughfare is resplendent with cool signage.

The ratio of vintage-to-modern (or made-to-look-vintage) nearly favors the former here.

I appreciate some of the modern signs, particularly the more whimsical ones.

We need to bring back vertical signage, whether it’s genuinely vintage…

…or contemporary but playful in spirit (if you’re in Georgia, you will see peaches.)

Just off Broughton on Whitaker Street, this Korean restaurant fits in aesthetically while also standing out.

Many storefronts along Broughton contain remnants of historic tenants in their tiled floor entrances. In this case, happily, the Globe Shoe Company still occupies this space.
