In a twitter exchange today I learned of the Fifth Grouper restaurant becoming dog friendly. I disagreed with that and the restauranteur apparently complained and I've been suspended from Twitter. No problem as that's nonsense but as a dining patron I feel it's a violation of health code to have non-service animals next to other diners tables. I'm feeling a sneeze coming on already. Thank you for your ruling. The Thunderbird Hotel was also a part of the discussion. Thank you.

I'm a new resident to the shopping district. On any given Friday or Saturday night (and most week nights and days) multiple cars with stereo's grossly exceeding the city noise ordinances can be heard driving the city streets. This extends as late as 4:00 AM on some nights. These stereos are so loud, the cars can literally be heard approaching 2 blocks or more away. I've noticed repeat offenders - that is, the same vehicles repeatedly breaking the law. This is highly annoying as a resident, and embarrassing when I bring friends, family and colleagues to Savannah to visit. Why are the police not actively targeting the operators of these vehicles?

I have a win-win suggestion that I hope you will take a moment to consider. I realize much pro-environmental legislation costs money, but not in this case :). Places like Ireland, China, and various progressive American cities have already implemented a tax on plastic bags at retail stores. A very reasonable tax on plastic bags would not only reduce pollution and help to protect our tourist attractions (specifically, the coastline and coastal wildlife), but it would also help to raise money for our city government. Business costs for retailers would also be reduced as people begin to bring their own bags.
While a single individual can make but minimal impact by doing these things, our city has the power to make a significant difference to our coastline and to mark Savannah as a Green city in the South--without costing a penny. In fact, you'd make several pennies per person, I'm sure :). Please give this some thought!

Come meet industry expert Ian Hanou whose firm Plan-it Geo has been contracted by Savannah Tree Foundation to conduct a county-wide urban tree canopy assessment. The study will assess Chatham County tree cover using aerial mapping, geographic information systems and related technologies. Mr. Hanou will explain how canopy studies provide communities like Savannah/Chatham County with a powerful tool for resource management through identifying urban forest trends and anticipating opportunities and challenges. His firm has previously worked with 50+ clients from government, non-profits and universities in complex geospatial projects. The presentation will provide an overview of the study’s methodology and initial findings applications. Savannah Tree Foundation representatives will outline plans for making the canopy study tools and data freely available to anyone involved or interested in our urban forests. Free. Reservation required.

The homeless dump out the garbage as well as urinate in the area at night. In my two years of living here I have only one time seen anybody cleaning the area! What a disgrace.
