The Savannah Waterfront Association promotes the eclectic vitality of the shops, restaurants, pubs and hotels that create the one-of-a-kind, family-friendly experience found nowhere else in the world than historic River Street. The SWA is a 501 (c)(3) private organization; the Mission of the Savannah Waterfront Association is to promote, preserve and enhance the historic character and productive use of the Savannah riverfront community for all to enjoy. For more than 30 years the Association has been a integral partner on such projects as First Friday Fireworks, public docks, the hospitality center, streetcar, Maritime History Panel project, the World War II Monument and other improvements to the riverfront. Through sponsorship, membership and events, the SWA produces and funds improvements, firework shows and the world class River Street festival series at no cost to the public.
Enjoy historic River Street… and Celebrate Responsibly!
I lived in Savannah in 1998. At that time I was shown (by my husband)a subtly marked location along the waterfront walkway that was very strange. There is no sign but on the walkway is a circle with an X in it, within the brick pattern of the walkway. If you step on the x, you feel nothing until you speak. If you speak, it feels as if a tunnel of some kind envelopes the sound. It is a ver unusual & odd experience. He said he was shown by a local & that it was supposedly considered a sacred spot by local Native Americans. I can find nothing on the internet of this whatsoever. Is this totally unknown to the public still? I would think it would be quite the attraction. Curious to know. I plan to travel back to see it & perhaps write a piece on it. Thanks so much, Angela Collins
