📰 In the news
Multi-night runs nationwide: Phish will bring a 21-date summer tour to Savannah for the first time with two nights at Enmarket Arena, with the run beginning July 7 and ticket requests open now — see how to request tickets.
Civic legacy honored through art: Savannah dedicated a new art studio to former council member Bill Durrence at the Otis Johnson Cultural Arts Center, with his donated artwork set to be displayed for the community — learn more about the dedication.
Tranquility under the canopy: Parkgoers have a new retreat as the City of Savannah and Trustees Garden Club celebrated the Forsyth Park Shade Garden, offering a peaceful place to relax beneath the trees — read the full story.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Where pasta cravings land: From baked ziti and lasagna to spaghetti and meatballs and penne alla vodka, Corleone’s Trattoria delivers cozy Italian comfort with an easy wine-bar vibe. Expect simple, plate-scraping satisfaction any night of the week, with portions made for appetites and friends.
Treasure hunt for your closet: House of Strut is a local go-to for decade-spanning vintage, from 60s minis to Y2K extras, with browsable racks and staff who love a good style story. Ideal for a lunch-break pop-in when your outfit needs a little main-character energy.
Reset with a plunge: When the week’s got your shoulders near your ears, Rooted Living Wellness brings cold plunge cryotherapy, infrared sauna, and legit bodywork together so you bounce back fast and sleep like a rock. Consider it your chill-meets-restore ritual, Bluffton-style.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild
This fully renovated four-story brick townhome on Jones Street spans 4,656 square feet and comprises four luxe units with custom beaded inset cabinetry, Circa lighting, Zia zellige tile, and hand-painted wallpaper. A new roof and updated systems provide turnkey ease. Rare NON-OWNER OCCUPIED STVR certificates, off-street parking, and Forsyth Park proximity amplify an iconic Historic Landmark District address.
