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!
