Places to see in ( Savannah - USA )
Savannah, a coastal Georgia city, is separated from South Carolina by the Savannah River. It’s known for manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture. Its historic district is filled with cobblestoned squares and parks such as Forsyth Park shaded by oak trees covered with Spanish moss. At the center of this picturesque district is the landmark, Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.
Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).
Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
Savannah is known as the 'Hostess City of the South' – and a good hostess will stuff you to the gills with all things battered and fried before sending you on your merry way. This is a city where people come to indulge in decadent, traditional Southern and soul food, but top chefs are also reimagining things with a 'New South' cuisine, where classic themes and ingredients meet innovative preparations. With Savannah's proximity to the ocean, seafood features heavily on most menus, and good grub doesn't stop at Southern staples – fans of diverse international fare can find great options, too.
Dubbed the Creative Coast (with a local entrepreneurial organization of the same name), Savannah boasts a vibrant arts and design scene that's fueled not only by the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), one of the finest art schools in the country with students and faculty from far and wide; but also bolstered by the natives and transplants whose initiatives make the arts more inclusive and accessible. From superb museums and galleries in the Historic District to the Starland section between Midtown and the Victorian District catering to locally crafted pursuits, creativity is the lifeblood coursing through Savannah's artsy heart.

Georgia: Savannah
Savannah is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia. Established in 1733 on the Savannah River, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia. A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War, Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport.
Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings. These buildings include the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third-oldest synagogue in the U.S.), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in the U.S.).
Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
On February 12, 1733, General James Oglethorpe and settlers from the ship Anne landed at Yamacraw Bluff and were greeted by Tomochichi, the Yamacraws, and Indian traders John and Mary Musgrove. Mary Musgrove often served as an interpreter. The city of Savannah was founded on that date, along with the colony of Georgia. In 1751, Savannah and the rest of Georgia became a Royal Colony and Savannah was made the colonial capital of Georgia.
By the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, Savannah had become the southernmost commercial port in the Thirteen Colonies. British troops took the city in 1778, and the following year a combined force of American and French soldiers, including Haitians, failed to rout the British at the Siege of Savannah. The British did not leave the city until July 1782. In December 1804 the state legislature declared Milledgeville the new capital of Georgia.
Savannah, a prosperous seaport throughout the nineteenth century, was the Confederacy's sixth most populous city and the prime objective of General William T. Sherman's March to the Sea. Early on December 21, 1864, local authorities negotiated a peaceful surrender to save Savannah from destruction, and Union troops marched into the city at dawn.
Savannah was named for the Savannah River, which probably derives from variant names of the river used by Native American.
Savannah's historic district has 22 squares (Ellis Square, demolished in 1954, was fully restored in early 2010). The squares vary in size and character, from the formal fountain and monuments of the largest, Johnson, to the playgrounds of the smallest, Crawford. Franklin Square is the site of Savannah's Haitian Monument, which commemorates the heroic efforts of the Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue in the 1779 Siege of Savannah and for an independent America. One of the few black regiments to fight for the American side in the Revolutionary War, the soldiers were recruited from present-day Haiti, until 1804 the French colony of Saint-Domingue.
Among the historic homes that have been preserved are: the Olde Pink House, the Sorrel–Weed House, Juliette Gordon Low's birthplace, the Davenport House Museum, the Green–Meldrim House, the Owens–Thomas House, the William Scarbrough House, and the Wormsloe plantation of Noble Jones. The Mercer–Williams House, the former home of Jim Williams, is the main location of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
Savannah hosts four colleges and universities offering bachelor's, master's, and professional or doctoral degree programs.Savannah hosts four colleges and universities offering bachelor's, master's, and professional or doctoral degree programs
Preserving America's Landscape Legacy
This video examines the importance of preserving the integrity of America's historic landscapes. Beginning with the role of landscape in film, the video uses landscapes familiar to most Americans to foster an understanding of how landscapes grow and change, but must still be preserved.

Arts Center MARTA Station
Join MARTA's Director of Government Relations, John Bayalis, as he takes us on a tour of MARTA's Arts Center Station in Midtown, Atlanta.
Arts Center Station lives up to its name since it is located next to the Woodruff Arts Center, home to the famous High Museum of Art, Alliance Theatre, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. John interviews Andrea Witta with Woodruff and she shares interesting footage that highlights each of the three destinations.
MARTA's Arts Center Station is located across the street from Colony Square with plenty of shopping, dining, offices and hotels. Piedmont Park is an easy walk down 14th Street so this MARTA station is a popular alternative to the Midtown station one stop south.
As part of our walk around the neighborhood we stop at the Center for Puppetry Arts, currently undergoing renovations to brighten and enlarge the theaters and display areas. Across the street is the Breman Jewish Heritage Museum that is dedicated to Jewish history, with special emphasis on Georgia and the Holocaust.
Arts Center Station is across the 75/85 Connector from Atlantic Station and its abundance of shopping, entertainment, condos and apartments. The free shuttle runs 24/7 between MARTA and Atlantic Station. In addition, Arts Center Station serves Cobb Community Transit buses, GRTA Xpress, and MARTA's popular Route 110, 'The Peach'.

Many stores these days have signs or information about renewable energy credits or RECs. Certain companies tout how you can help the environment by cashing in on these energy credits by buying their product or purchasing gift cards. But how these credits actually help the environment is unclear to many people.
Patrick Nye wants people to understand how these energy credits work because he says they can make a difference. Our power grid pulls in energy from many different energy sources. Patrick likens the power grid to a polluted lake with streams flowing in representing the different sources. Right now many of those streams -- or power sources -- are produced by burning fossil fuels which emit fumes that are harmful to the environment.
Patrick says that sustainable energy forms -- like wind and solar power -- can replace the streams as power sources and because they're cleaner forms of energy -- the lake (power grid) will slowly over time become cleaner and better for the environment.
Laura Turner Seydel traces her passion for eco-awareness back to her upbringing and family environment. Her father, CNN founder Ted Turner, has long been an outspoken advocate for and investor in the future of the Earth. But now Turner's daughter is taking this awareness to a new level by showing she's not just about talk.
Laura's now sharing her personal story about going green -- why she did it, and why you should too. One area she's excited about is the science of wind energy, and how that power can be harnessed and turned into sustainable energy. Laura has even built her dream home in Georgia called EcoManor. The house is a showcase for eco-friendly living and is made entirely of green products and is environmentally friendly.
Wind energy typically costs more than other energy sources -- so companies have come together to create Renewable Energy Credits or RECs. The credits help purchase energy credits that help wind energy and other forms of sustainable energy get plugged into the power grid.
Silk Soy is launching program that will increase funding for wind farms so that eventually they can replace the burning of fossil fuels which provide power for us now and that are hazardous to our environment. For every cap collected, Silk Soy will make a donation to help grow America's green power grid by replacing the power produced from burning fossil fuels like coal and natural gas with clean, renewable power created using wind farms. Wind power is an affordable and inexhaustible energy source that does not cause pollution, generate waste or deplete natural resources.
About Laura Turner Seydel:
As a national environmental activist and eco-living expert, Laura's mission is to educate families, youth and individuals alike about the opportunities and benefits of earth-friendly living. Laura is active on the boards of many other local and national groups including: Georgia Conservation Voters; The Nature Conservancy; The High Museum of Art; Atlanta Boy's Choir; Council for Western Rivers; Defenders of Wildlife; Ron Clark Academy; Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; Southern Environmental Law Center; Atlanta Ballet; Oglethorpe University and The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund.Laura is a Trustee of the Turner Foundation, a private family environmental grantmaking foundation created in 1990. In her capacity as Trustee, she is involved in all aspects of the Foundation's operations, from reviewing funding requests and establishing policy to identifying funding priorities and overseeing special initiatives. Laura is also a Trustee of the Jane Smith Turner Foundation, a private family grantmaking foundation, whose funding priorities include the arts, children's health and education and the environment.
About Patrick Nye:
Based in Portland, Oregon, Patrick Nye leads the non-profit Bonneville Environmental Foundation's (BEF) primary fundraising activity of selling carbon offsets from renewable energy facilities (such as wind and solar) across North America. Patrick works with clients ranging from organic food producers and film productions to events, households and utilities. Patrick also serves green builders and is a LEED Accredited Professional with the U.S. Green Building Council. Patrick has been with BEF since 2002 and in October 2007 his pioneering SkiGreen™ program won national recognition from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Leadership Awards. Patrick's first experience in environmental work took place on board the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Planetree where he was part of the first response for the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. He later served on board the Coast Guard Ice Breaker, Polar Star, where he participated in Arctic research around Greenland and the North Pole.
Great Day In Georgia!
We officially left Florida after enjoying 4 months of sea birds, palm trees, and manatees to head to the great state of Georgia to speak at Athens Technical College and the University of Georgia, Athens.
Before heading to Athens, we spent a few days with our friends and owners of the North Georgia Zoo, Hope and Tom. They run a small, private farm full of goats, cows, sheep, alpaca and many more for guests to connect with and enjoy. In addition to having people visit the zoo, they do over 600 outreach programs a year, connecting thousands upon thousands of people to nature.
Although we always love time at a farm, Georgia's pollen kicked our butts; unfortunately, we spent most of our stay hiding in the tiny house dealing with severe allergies.
Although we had puffy faces, scratchy throats, and runny noses, we mustered what energy and passion we had left to head to Athen’s Tech and UGA. Steph spent the day teaching about the environmental impact of living a minimalist lifestyle in the tiny house at Athen’s Tech, while Tim spent the afternoon talking to UGA students who were learning to build their own tiny house about the positives and negatives of tiny house living.
At this point, we have reached over 10,000 people with our sustainability message in 7 cities in both Florida and Georgia and it’s only the beginning! Our goal is to reach 50 cities and over 1 million people in 2017 and 2018! If you love and value nature and a healthy planet, please consider joining our troop by pledging to get out in nature and live a more sustainable lifestyle. To support our tour, consider buying Creative Animal Tour swag like a sticker or a shirt to keep our tour rolling down the road. :-)

Contemporary extension of the Hunter Museum of American Art
As the birthplace of the tow truck, Chattanooga is the home of the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum.[106] Another transportation icon, the passenger train, can be found at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, called TVRM by locals, which is the largest operating historic railroad in the South. Chattanooga is home to the Hunter Museum of American Art. Other notable museums include the Chattanooga History Center, the National Medal of Honor Museum, the Houston Museum, the Chattanooga African American Museum, and the Creative Discovery Museum.[107][108][109][110][111]
Arts and literature
Chattanooga has a wide range of performing arts in different venues. Chattanooga's historic Tivoli Theatre, dating from 1921 and one of the first public air-conditioned buildings in the United States, is home to the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera (CSO), which became the first merged symphony and opera company in the United States in 1985. The CSO performs under the baton of Kayoko Dan.[112] The Chattanooga Theatre Centre offers 15 productions each year in three separate theater programs: the Mainstage, the Circle Theater, and the Youth Theater.[113][114] Another popular performance venue is Memorial Auditorium.
Chattanooga hosts several writing conferences, including the Conference on Southern Literature and the Festival of Writers, both sponsored by the Arts & Education Council of Chattanooga.[115][116][117]
Attractions
Chattanooga touts many attractions, including the Tennessee Aquarium, caverns, and new waterfront attractions along and across the Tennessee River. In the downtown area is the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, housed in the renovated Terminal Station. Also downtown are the Creative Discovery Museum, a hands-on children's museum dedicated to science, art, and music; an IMAX 3D Theatre, and the newly expanded Hunter Museum of American Art. The Tennessee Riverwalk, an approximately 13-mile-long (21 km) trail running alongside the river, is another attraction for both tourists and residents alike.
Across the river from downtown is the North Shore district, roughly bounded by the Olgiati Bridge to the west and Veterans Bridge to the east. The newly renovated area draws locals and tourists to locally owned independent boutique stores and restaurants, plus attractions along the Chattanooga Riverpark system, including Coolidge Park and Renaissance Park.[118][119]
The Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park is located a short distance from the downtown area.
Parks and natural scenic areas provide other attractions. The red-and-black painted See Rock City barns along highways in the Southeast are remnants of a now-classic Americana tourism campaign to attract visitors to the Rock City tourist attraction in nearby Lookout Mountain, Georgia. The mountain is also the site of Ruby Falls and Craven's House.[120] The Lookout Mountain Incline Railway is a steep funicular railway that rises from the St. Elmo Historic District to the top of the mountain, where passengers can visit the National Park Service's Point Park and the Battles for Chattanooga Museum.[121] Formerly known as Confederama, the museum includes a diorama that details the Battle of Chattanooga. From the military park, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Moccasin Bend and the Chattanooga skyline from the mountain's famous point or from vantage points along the well-marked trail system.[122]
The Heritage park is a park that lies in East Brainerd. Heritage park has a bocce ball court, a playground complete with swings, and a walking pavement. The park also features an off-leash dog park which is operated by the Friends of East Brainerd, the City of Chattanooga Parks and Recreation Department, McKamey Animal Center and the Goodwill Assistance Dog Academy.
Near Chattanooga, the Raccoon Mountain Reservoir, Raccoon Mountain Caverns, and Reflection Riding Arboretum and Botanical Garden boast a number of outdoor and family fun opportunities. Other arboretums include Bonny Oaks Arboretum, Cherokee Arboretum at Audubon Acres, and Cherokee Trail Arboretum. The Ocoee River, host to a number of events at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, features rafting, kayaking, camping, and hiking. Just outside Chattanooga is the Lake Winnepesaukah amusement park. The Cumberland Trail begins in Signal Mountain, just outside Chattanooga.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Savannah () is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733 on the Savannah River, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia. A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War, Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia's fifth-largest city, with a 2017 estimated population of 146,444. The Savannah metropolitan area, Georgia's third largest, had an estimated population of 387,543 in 2017.Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
