I'm lovin it already! It'll be so nice to see some of Georgia's most historic city's history restored. Will the new Ellis Square be laid out like the old one (paths, statues, fountains, etc. in the same places as theold one)?

Great to see the garage go!

This is a most definite positive. Savannah is such a treasure and a historic yet under appreciated asset to Georgia. Anything to improve the urban fabric of Savannah is a great leap forward.
