Location Placed: River Street Sweets, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/3/11 at 3:39pm





The explanation for this placement picture? Certain people become a wee bit uncivilized when they get into candy stores. The lady that blindsided me was casing the candy displays for some chocolate-y goodness (and that stores wares were particularly good) and walked right into me while I was taking the photo. I was so stunned that she neither apologized nor even seem to realize that she ran into me that I promptly left. Hopefully that lady really enjoyed the candy she ended up buying.

In one of those perfect crane placing moments, remarkable ended up at Paula Deen's restaurant, The Lady & Sons. The food, well you guessed it, was remarkable. Everything from the biscuits to the sweet tea to the chicken pot pie was amazing. I even loved the flash fried collards, and I don't even like collards. I also listened to my waiter talk to another table about how the restaurant runs as well as their seating capacity, which was really interesting. The icing on the cake? Said waiter gave me a cup of sweet tea for the road. Pretty key on (yet another) sweltering day. If I lived in Savannah, I'd be a regular there, so it might be a good thing for my waist-line that I'm not!

There were tons of little artist shops in the Market Center portion of Savannah. If I had tons and tons of money, I'd certainly know where to spend it all. Granted I would've never been able to put it all in my one checked luggage piece, but that is totally besides the point. I did end up getting a couple smaller things from a place down by the river but I really wanted to pick up a couple things here.

When it comes to going on a vacation by yourself, you certainly need to be unabashed. Several people during the trip were surprised to hear I had gone on my own but I didn't really think about it much. I planned a little trip, got to do all the things I wanted to do, and kept busy for the most part. I'm glad that I was able to get to go see the places I did and chat with some of the interesting people I did.

I was all excited when I made this one because I decided that the paper matched the word. Until I realized that fanciful was in imagination only. No paper could be fanciful. But I decided to make my own definition up that allowed me to consider this pretty paper fanciful.

If this crane isn't the poster 'child' for not making my cranes late at night the night before I am slated to fly out, I don't know what is. I'm obviously not too mindful of my spelling late at night.

Prior to placing this crane, I went to Bonaventure Cemetery, although I wasn't quite sure why I had placed it on my list of places to go. It was a cool cemetery in terms of old markers and different ones (my favorite being a piano shaped one). It wasn't too far from Wormsloe Plantation so swinging by on my way back to my hotel was no big deal. Another scorching day made a Lemonade Iced Tea look all the better.

277. Insightful

277. Insightful
Definition: (adj) exhibiting clear and deep perception
Location Placed: Cutters Point Coffee, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/2/11 at 2:12pm





I wish I had something insightful to say about this location but it was just one of those release and run sorts of cranes. The inside of the coffee place looked pretty pretty inviting with a wooden bar but definitely hard to take a picture of it while trying to be inconspicuous. I was pretty impressed with the model sailboat at the end of the bar. No idea what the significance of it was, but I certainly approve.

The quintessential southern dirt road covered by moss dripping trees? It must've been based off Wormsloe because it was a completely accurate depiction. If I had been shooting with a film camera, I would've blown through a full 2 rolls with the number of pictures I took. It was exactly what I was looking for during my trip to the south and I couldn't be happier to have captured it. I tried getting a picture of my crane with the trees but the sunlight kept washing everything out. But a quick google search of pictures will give you a good idea of what I saw. It's an absolute MUST DO if you are spending any time in Savannah and you have access to a car.
