Morning News Gets New Digs

The Savannah Morning News has moved into it’s new home. Like many businesses, they have outgrown their old facility. Working for the News-Press in the late 80s and early 90s, we felt very much a part of city, sitting in the midst of everything. The annual St. Patrick’s Day parade passing by out front. We were only a stone’s throw from City Hall. Moments from the ports, the police barracks, and all sorts of other key Savannah institutions. But while it’s sad that the paper is moving out of their 100+ year location in downtown Savannah (my hometown), it’s clearly a great new facility, and the costs to add these types of improvements on the old building would have been prohibitive.

I particularly liked seeing this image of the building as it appeared in the 1930s, with delivery trucks lined up on Bay Street – exactly where I used to park as a young photographer, ready to dash out to cover breaking news anyplace around town. We didn’t see too many Model-As, however, or railroad tracks on Whitaker or Bay!
