Secret Savannah: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781681062297)

Who is buried under the runway at Savannah Airport? Was Jingle Bells really written in Savannah, despite a distinct lack of snow to dash through? And what is the source of that peculiar echo on River Street? Find the answers to these and many more questions in Secret Savannah: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure. While it may be renowned for its majestic moss-draped oaks and historic architecture, there are many more things to discover in this beguiling coastal city. Did you know that Football Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath once tried to turn one of Savannah's most remarkable homes into a nightclub? Or that Martin Luther King Jr. gave an early version of his famous I Have a Dream speech in Savannah before he delivered it at the Lincoln Memorial? Local author Christopher Berinato has scoured the fringes of greater Savannah to dig up some deep cuts of history, legends, and maybe even a few ghosts. Let his eye-opening guide astound you with fascinating tales of the most charming city in the South.
