AARP'S GUIDE TO SAVANNAH  Along the busy riverfront stands a captivating city — a haunting mirage punctuated with a shiny gold dome, ornate church spires, Spanish moss-draped squares,


architectural showpieces and sparse traffic that creeps along cobblestone streets as slowly as a horse-drawn carriage. This is Savannah, Georgia, America’s first planned city, built high on


a bluff in 1733. It still has a small-town feel, with a population of about 147,000. This is a destination where you can enjoy a whole lot of porch sitting, storytelling, ship watching,


libation sipping and devouring of good vittles — as they say in the South — without the citified rush. So pull up a rocker and sit a spell.
