Teasing the Korean Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Any place in or near Savannah I should hit while I'm there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 When are you going to be there? I'm playing at The Sentient Bean with the 4th Ward Afro-Klezmer Orchestra on Saturday, August 27. I was in Savannah about a year ago, and there's really nothing left in the way of record/CD stores. I always hit Youman's, a junk store a little out of town (take President Street east, toward the islands) - they have some records; some are pretty junky, but I've gotten some good stuff there. There's another junk/antique store called Universe Trading Company on Franklin Square, near the City Market area, where I've gotten some good records - I found a mint copy of Pee Wee Russell's Pee Wee Plays Pee Wee there. There are several high-end/collector type used bookstores in the downtown area. Savannah's a really interesting little city. I enjoy just walking around. King Oliver was living there on Montgomery Street at the end of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyJazz Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Just returned from a brief vacation in Savannah. Wonderful sights and homes in the Historic District. However, because my hotel was nearby I did spot and visit the antique/junk store in Franklin Square by the City Market and while there are 3 or 4 shelves of LPs, there is no order whatsoever to them and I could not see any jazz during my admittedly cursory review. Be forewarned should you still want to visit that store, no A/C!!!! All the fans in the store did little to mitigate the intense heat at this time of the year, i.e., upper 90s every day.

jeffcrom Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Oh - and go to The Shrimp Factory on the riverfront and have a Chatham Artillery Punch. They'll only serve you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
