Savannah has the loveliest parks every four blocks. Even General William Tecumseh Sherman thought so.
Well I may have missed a boring match/loss while traveling for the wedding but on my way back from Pittsburgh to Western Kentucky the wifey and I did some back roads driving and exploring and hit both Moundsville, West Virginia and Serpent Mound Crater in Ohio the latter of which was actually VERY cool and it was definitely a magnetic anomaly situation and the wife got very dizzy and weak kneed. I recommend highly. The Moundsville mound is literally across the street from Moundsville prison which closed in 1995 as a working prison and there are prison tours (we didn't have time) but it's certainly an imposing structure.
Sounds interesting. I have only been to Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia once. Pittsburgh is the only "big city" in the Eastern part of the nation that I have not visited (outside of the Carolinas). I've been considering it for years. You highly recommend your wife getting very dizzy and weak kneed? Got it!
I think she got more weak kneed seeing the Perry Como statue in Canonsburg, PA. Mostly because of this SCTV Joe Flaherty skit. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/6842
The Serpent Mound is AWESOME. As for Pittsburgh, might I suggest the Montour Hotel and Lounge? https://www.facebook.com/p/The-Montour-Hotel-and-Lounge-100057088075508/
Serpent Mound in Ohio is next to an ancient meteor crater on a fault line. There are also many serpent mounds near meteor craters in Keene, Ontario, Canada as well as in Scotland and...other serpent mounds around the world that are remarkably the same as well as....prepare to be amazed.... Thatcher Woods on the Desplaines river in Chicago. Who's covering that up? Obviously the Illuminati.

I love the chicken bones on the floor. Also, I was so happy to be vegetarian while there. It wasn’t easy, but certainly easier than eating the meat dishes…
Not as exotic, but I am at Copper State Brewing in lovely Green Bay, Wisconsin. I have a conference in Sturgeon Bay and decided to stay in Green Bay. Enjoying some fine ales and listening to a bit of live jazz.
Now, I have moved on to Titletown Brewing (got to love breweries directly across the street from one another), makers of Johnny Blood Red (a staple at my Wausau local). They have a great roof top tap room overlooking the Fox River and downtown...too bad it is 55 degrees and raining, so the outside is closed. Beer here is a bit hoppy for my taste.
Day one of our European odyssey. I have not slept in three nights, including an uncomfortable flight to London. Landed this morning. Went to the Tate Modern (my better half's favorite museum, turns out we have paintings from two artists hanging in the Tate) and then a play in the West End (although we left at intermission). Now at The Ship on Wardour Street (where I had one of my all time favorite drunken nights back in 1999, drinking heavily as we were all singing the Damned Buzzcocks, etc.), enjoying a couple of pints of Fuller's (real ale, of course). Good zog, "craft beer" is everywhere. The first pub we went into (and left) had three types of Goose Island. Tom Baker (4th Doctor Who) worked here waaaay back in the day. Off to Poland at 7:00 am tomorrow. Seeing my friend Maciej, who I would drag to dozens of Fire games back in the day.
Fuller's is good! None of our craft brewers want to make London Ale because it doesn't sell. The Midwestern beer palate still can't get hast hoppy, fruity,and other goofy stuff to put in beer.
Yep, which is very sad. There are a couple of brew pubs by me that brew decent ESB and other English Ales.
