"City at a Crossroads"

"City at a Crossroads", my article to be published in La Voz Latina, covers thoughts on Savannah, Georgia's growth and history. This article was inspired by a walking tour sponsored by Savannah State University and Historic Savannah Foundation. The main focus was urban planning in regards to Savannah’s projected growth, its residents, historical sites, and retaining small businesses downtown.

At the end of the tour, I thought, In 20 years, will Savannah still have soul? Or will work together now in a way that makes a future redemption unnecessary?
Thank you very much to the interviewees. I appreciate your time and words.
