Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 8/28/23 “Taylor Square”

Posted on by Neal Saye

Marveling. Marveling. Marveling.

My beautiful small southern city of Savannah has twenty-two extant squares, each unique, in our Historic District.

Robert and I live just off the northeastern-most one, Washington Square, close to the river.

But this morning is about the Square formally known as Calhoun Square.

Here’s the link to the article in case you are interested. (It made the national news.)

Oh, and just so you know, the previous name of the square? Calhoun Square, named after John C. Calhoun, a former vice president of the United States, who owned slaves and vigorously defended the institution of slavery.

“What he stood for is not what Savannah stands for,” Savannah mayor Van Johnson said.

Way to go, Savannah!

And Congratulations to Susie King Taylor!

HR in Taylor Square this morning. The old name markers have been removed, but the new ones are not up yet. Soon!

  3. This is map porn for me. I LOVE a city with a grid design. Why on Earth would anyone design any other way? And KUDOS to Savannah! Now get that handsome husband of yours out of that park lest some smitten passerby thinks he’s out advertising his goods.
