If you're planning a trip to Savannah

Just to help you have realistic expectations.

1. Unless you go to a drag queen show, you probably won't see all that many transvestites.
2. We do have crimes that aren't racially motivated. Like armed robbery. Our thugs are equal opportunity thugs.
3. Paula Deen's restaurant is overrated, overpriced, and overcrowded. There are a dozen other places within a block that have better food and are much more reasonably priced. And probably won't be nearly as crowded. And aren't looking to screw over ignorant tourists. Or at least not as much.
4. Unlike Disneyworld, most of the people you'll see in the Historic District don't actually work for the city, and really aren't there to entertain you or serve as guides. If you want someone to show you around take one of the tours. Yes, you'll have to pay somebody for that.
5. Don't sit around and complain about how much more wonderful things are Up North. If it's so fucking wonderful in Yankee-land, then remember that nobody is forcing you to come here, and nobody is forcing you to stay.
6. Before you start complaining about how the Civil War is history and we just need to get over it, think back and try to remember who brought the subject up in the first place. Was it you? Yes.
7. Don't drive around the squares in your car at 2 miles per hour so you can stare at the houses. And don't just stop in the middle of the street and get out to take a picture of a house. Believe it or not those are public roadways and people are trying to get from point A to  point B. Just like they do in your town. Believe it or not.
8. Being On Vacation does not mean that you can ignore traffic laws.
9. If you see someone sitting alone at a table in a restaurant and that person tells you that he is waiting for someone and does not want you to join him in the mean time, please believe him and go away.
10. Just be nice, have fun, and understand that not everyone around you is on vacation. Do that and you'll have a lot of fun.
