As the buzz finally dies down about Midnight in the Garden of Good and
Evil—John Berendt’s Southern gothic bestseller set in Savannah—a new, stronger,
and more lasting identity is emerging: Savannah as an art center. And one of the
major forces since 1978 has been SCAD, the country’s largest art and design
college. "It’s amazing," attests Jennifer of One Fish Two Fish. "SCAD will take
a big, dilapidated structure in a questionable area and transform it. Whenever
that happens, investors start buying up everything around. SCAD can make a
neighborhood. They’re forward thinking, and they instill confidence in their
students."
(j) Housed
in an adapted early 20th-century pharmacy, SCAD’s Gryphon Tea Room boasts all 14
original stained-glass windows with a mortar-and-pestle theme.
(k) Indulge your writerly side at la paperie, purveyors of hard-to-find
European stationery and journals. (l) Satisfy your sweet tooth at Paris Market
& Brocante. (m) Limited-edition plates by Working Class Studio with
illustrations by the late Ben Morris are used in the Gryphon Tea Room.
(n) It’s not your traditional floral shop. Madame Chrysanthemum’s Asian-style
arrangements incorporate found objects. (o) Tupelo honey, a prized local
specialty, displayed in fluted bottles at One Fish Two Fish.
