Whether you’re a long-time resident of Savannah regularly donning the green, or just green from visiting for the first time, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah is certain to be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

Friends, family and media members gathered on Friday night at Bay Street’s newest hot spot to grab a craft brew and a bite to eat, Moon River Brewing Company’s 5,400-square-foot Beer Garden. In the form of the traditional Friday evening 6 o’clock toast, owner Gene Beaco and brew master John Pinkerton stood on a make-shift podium to thank those who made opening the garden possible.

“Welcome to our regulars, welcome to our irregulars,” Beaco began. “If Bay Street is the smile of downtown, six months ago the smile was missing a tooth,” he said.

The humble chair has much in common with most politicians: Neither inspires a great deal of thought unless unduly rigid, overly soft or when they’re conspicuously absent from view. In commemoration of the Telfair Museums exhibits, The Art of Seating: 200 Years of American Design and Sitting in Savannah: Telfair Chairs and Sofas, South explores the history and origins of the chair featuring some of Savannah’s most ardent art supporters posing with their favorites.
