The keys to financial freedom could be in your mouth
“You could be just weeks away from learning a skill that has the potential of earning you millions and millions of dollars,” the web site assures you. This is a promise made by MakeGoodTeeth.com, a Savannah-based web site and company that teaches people to make gold choppers. They go on to explain: “Gold teeth have absolutely exploded in popularity over the past several years and you’re about to be offered an opportunity to cash in on this craze. You can’t turn the TV on these days without seeing someone with a full set of gold grillz in their mouth.” Where do I sign? Well, if I had an extra $4,800 kicking around and more than $3,000 for school supplies, I’d go to www.makegoldteeth.com.

In most towns, a couple dozen stores located within a ten-block area would consider themselves competition. But 22 shops in Savannah have joined forces to create the Downtown Design District, an impromptu outdoor mall in the heart of the historic district. Visit 
According to local news reports, Savannah mayor Otis Johnson returned home Monday from a Memphis, Tennessee hospital where he was recovering from a heart attack. What does style have to do with it, you ask? Well, it just so happens that Mayor Johnson flew back to SAV in a Gulfstream jet, which will cost the city somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000, according to City Manager Michael Brown. Now if we could only take care of that pesky crime problem… Go to

The hustle and bustle of downtown Savannah is a fitting contrast to one of the city’s newest escapes. Tucked away in the heart of our beautiful historic district, wedged between the Ballastone Inn and Cora Bett Thomas Realty, is the Savannah Day Spa on Oglethorpe Street. In this unlikely setting, you can receive couples and pre-natal massages, manicures and pedicures, deep pore cleansing facials, Brazilian (and even … gasp … back-) waxing and more, for women as well as men. They even offer a full-service hair salon. Prices are competitive, and you can’t beat the convenient location. Owner Celeste Hobson is even launching Indulgence — her own line of customized body products that, according to their web site, “utilize the freshest imported organic fragrances and healing oils, including internationally grown herbs and flora.” Rounding out the line is Indulgence loungewear made of soft 100% cottons that have been featured in fashion magazines from Lucky to InStyle.

Savannah, meet style. For so long, the two were rarely used in the same sentence, at least in the Hollywood red carpet, “too-sexy-for-my-shirt” kinda way. Savannah style used to mean genteel, conservative, grounded. Think seersucker and white nubuck oxfords. But with an infusion of art school students, booming economic development and an enormous tourism influx, style in Savannah has taken a new twist.
An hour’s car ride from Savannah will take you back in time at the Old Sheldon Church. Nestled in the woods near Pocotaligo, South Carolina, the roofless church stands as a gothic icon of years past, and is considered to be one of the first examples of Greek Revival architecture in the New World. William Bull, one of the architects of the City of Savannah and eponymous city street, helped establish the church. He and his family are entombed at the site. The church, burned during both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, was built between 1745 and 1755. It was destroyed in 1779 by British troops under the command of General Augustine Provost, and again by General William Sherman’s troops in 1865. Annual services are held the second Sunday after Easter (April 30, 2006). To get there, take I-95 north to the Pocotaligo exit, then US 17/21 for a few miles until you see a sign for Old Sheldon Church, then turn left and it will be approximately one mile up on your right.
