Savannah

[Kerry]

If you saw Savannah 15 years ago you wouldn't recognize it today.  Savannah developed a realistic plan to re-urbanize downtown one block at a time and then stuck to it.  Not a silver bullet project to be seen.  Jax is the exact opposite - no plan, no stick-to-it-izness and endless silver bullet projects that NEVER materialize (and if they did materialize they wouldn't work).

I lived in Savannah about 10 years ago and if u think that city has become what it is in 15 years, I have a NBA franchise to sell u

I know it has been a process that Savannah has been executing for a l8bg time but 15 years ago Broughton St was all boarded up.

Imagine it back in the late 1980s and early 1990s! It took Savannah a while to revitalize to the point where Ben Carter got fed up with Jax, sold his share in SJTC and shifted his focus to redeveloping Broughton Street.

Let's face it, Jacksonville is from another planet. We just haven't figured out which one yet.
