*An Exorcism at the Hampton Lillibridge Home-Too Creepy for Occupancy*
The Haptom Lillibridge house located at 507 East St. Julian Street in downtown Savannah is quite frankly the most haunted house in Savannah. However, it is not open for tours. It is a private home and has been up for sale for years. But no one wants to buy it… I wonder why?

This boat was anchored in front of Fort Jackson yesterday. Aboard were workers and divers preparing to work on raising the CSS Georgia. The work is in its initial stages and the ship will not be raised until 2014 but it’s exciting to see the work moving forward.

Savannah is No. 6!
“Older cities such as Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, remind tourists that they just might be walking on bones. Savannah is “literally built on its dead,” Hawes said. “When they’re going to put up buildings, they have to do tests, core samples, to see if they find any bones.” … Nope, they didn’t find bones when they were building the new Beer Garden.

Buddy Walk is Tomorrow!
Join the Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society for the 2013 Buddy Walk on Saturday, October 5, 2013. The Buddy Walk is a one mile fundraising event around historic Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia.
Thousands of people are expected to attend the event, which raises awareness and funds for local programs, including Camp Buddy, that benefit people with Down syndrome and their families. Last year’s LDSS Buddy Walk welcomed over 4,000 participants.
The Buddy Walk Program welcomes participants of all ages and abilities. Bring your carriage, strollers, wheelchairs, little red wagons and pets. Don’t leave anyone behind as we stroll around Forsyth Park. The goals are to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome and to positively influence local and national policy and practice. Last year alone, Buddy Walk events nationally raised more that $11.2 million to benefit education, research, and advocacy initiatives, as well as the Night of Champions, Camp Buddy and many other services right here in the Lowcountry and Coastal Empire.

Commissioned to design the Custom House on Bay Street, Norris remained in Savannah to build many desirable residences with, the latest in technology and luxury.

The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Georgia purchased the house from her heirs in 1928 and opened it to the public in 1950.
