Jay481985 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I know short notice and I have not been on here a while but my friend from high school is a west pointer and just found out she is being redeployed to Iraq in a month or so. She always mentioned that I should come visit so that I am and its my spring break. I will shoot straight down i-95 to Savannah but going back up I have a free week when I leave monday or so. Is there anything specific I can do, eat, see etc on the way back up or is anyone willing to let me audition their systems? I am up for pretty much anything and everything. Thanks guys.

o0O Bill O0o Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Amen for last minute booty calls! You better send her off well. In Savannah hit the anywhere around Congress st. for bars.. Go to Hunter Army Airfield. Just about any BBQ hut in NC, SC, and GA is worth eating at. I'd find some high end hi-fi shops along the route, and sample there wares. Major cites, DC, Baltimore, Richmond, Raleigh, Columbia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT FAN Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 While you are in Savannah you MUST have lunch at Miss Wilke's Dining Room. A Savannah institution for decades, it was in the papers last week because Pres. Obama ate there, and yes even he bussed his table after lunch as all customers do. The best fried chicken I have had in my life. Dining is family style, the table is laden with more food than you can eat. Brunswick stew, cornbread, black eyed peas, greens...hungry yet? [] No booze served there, sweet tea is the norm. The website is down right now. If you head over to Tybee Island for the day, have lunch at the Crab Shack, http://www.thecrabshack.com/ Outdoor dining, speakers hanging from the trees playing Marley & Buffett, ice cold beer in coozies. We're not talking fancy here, there are holes in the middle of the tables to sweep your garbage into when you are done and paper towels on the table. Get the Sampler Platter, a "Low Country Boil" shrimp, clams, mussels, crawfish, keilbasa, corn and new potatos piled high. A cold beer or some white wine and you are set.

Well......from some one who's lived here for 25+ years........... Mrs. Wilkes - very nice TOURISTY place. The food? Decent, but nothing you couldn't get at my house any day of the week. Besides, at my house you can also get deep fried turkey. Me? I'd rather go to Clary's or Bella's. Bar food?? Wild Wing Cafe and make sure you get a side of their China Syndrom sauce. HOT!!! The Crab Shack use to be decent until the TOURISTS found out about it. You want plain seafood? Go to the Shellhouse at the intersection of I-95 and GA HWY204. Good stuff. Slightly off the beaten path is Love's seafood that sits right on the bank of the Ogeechee river and has been there forever. Try their all-u-can-eat catfish. OMG it's good. And if you can find Old School, you'll definitely bring back some stories for your friends & family. The place looks like crap and yes, you'll be parking on old worn out carpet, but there's a reason why hollywood celebs and famous folks seek this out in the boonies place out. Mmmmmm........I hear their steak calling me now. In Charleston, SC is Read Brothers Stereo. Lord knows how long they've been there. Use to carry Klipsch at one time. A couple of their sales folks own Klipsch and 'ol Sunburnwilly hangs out there from time-to-time. In fact, while you're there, be shure to eat where Sunburn works - Magnolia's. Unbelieveable food and awesome wines. And the service ain't bad either. [] Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of their sales folks own Klipsch and 'ol Sunburnwilly hangs out there from time-to-time. I was going to suggest Charleston! It's a fascinating place, very colorful and very nicely preserved buildings and atmosphere. Great eating, too, although I don't recall the restaurants I and my bro went to when we visited Charleston and Savannah last year about this time.We found Charleston quite a bit more interesting and atmospheric than Savannah. It's history is engrossing, and I suggest going on one of the tours. We had a great, exceptionally knowledgeable tour guide on ours. Academia is a surprise, too, with good schools at the University of Charleston. The horses are required to wear diapers, a good thing.

skonopa Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well, if you hit the Fredericksburg, VA area at a decent time (located about halfway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, VA right on I-95), you'll have to stop off of Exit 130. I live not even a mile from the interstate. Will have to let you listen to a full RF-7 setup with B&K amp as well as treat you to some good Mexican at Poncho Villa's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
