“He dropped me in front of the City Market and wished me a good day, which I returned. The famed historic market once was just that, a place to which, more than two centuries ago, farmers and fishermen hauled their produce and brought in the day’s catch to sell to the city’s residents. At the time, the market was the commercial and social center of life in eighteenth-century Savannah. Today, the popular destination draws tourists and natives alike to the art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants... that crowd either side of a pedestrian walkway. I walked with difficulty down the center of the market, leaning on the shillelagh Warner Payne had given me and trying not to trip over all the youngsters around me. A Dixieland band was playing down the street and several children were dancing, their parents clapping hands in time to the music. Other children licked big green puffs of cotton candy. Still others chased each other around the easels set up outside by artists who were making charcoal sketches or pastel portraits of Saint Patrick’s Day visitors.MoreLess Read More Read Less
