Since it\u2019s built right over Indian burial grounds and old cemeteries, almost everyone has their own account of a haunted experience.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">3.

Bars, restaurants, and shopping line the street, so we put on our white powdered wigs and get wild. We don\u2019t actually, but you\u2019d definitely get a free drink for it.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">7.

And humid. When you step outside in the summer you wade through thick, sticky air. If you move faster than a turtle, you die. At least that\u2019s the general consensus. On the flip side, every building is air-conditioned to the point of icicles and the other three seasons are, dare I say it, perfect.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">9.

More aptly: flash floods. The sun is out one second and then, before you can say \u201cMamma\u2019s biscuits and gravy,\u201d the temperature drops and your clothes are soaked right through. Buy an umbrella. Carry it with you at all times.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">10.

If you\u2019re only there to see The Bird Girl statue, you\u2019ll have to go downtown to the Telfair Museum of Art\u2014a must-see as well. They also have the Bonaventure After Hours program where you can get a private tour of the grounds.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">13.

We\u2019re not too committed to the whole sports thing, but we sure do like tailgating.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">16.

So that\u2019s roughly 8,000 pairs of thick black glasses, 4,000 mustaches (assuming its halvsies), and an overall hipster appearance sighted all around town. But! Savannah loves SCADies. Their diversity creates this unusual mash-up of slow, old south mixed with young, creative energy and it just works.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">17.

Lots of them. But these aren\u2019t your stuffy, sterile type. SCAD grads have reinvented the gallery concept by creating hip spaces, like Le Snoot and Sicky Nar Nar, replete with loud graphics and exceptional branding.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">19.

SCAD runs the show, of course, and features workshops, lectures, and eight days of nonstop films\u2014student and award-winning. The best part? The celebs choose to hang at bars and eat (like normal people) at restaurants because we let them be. Our mammas taught us not to stare.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">20.

Locally owned boutiques and big name retailers inhabit the restored historic buildings on Broughton Street, giving it an air of old fashioned sophistication.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;margin-bottom: -10px\">23. Zunzi\u2019s.
