I host the YouTube Channel "Goose and a Gander" and I'm excited to say that I'll be bringing my content over to Rumble! I have my new show "Taking a Gander" which posts every Thursday at 6pm ET. In additional I'll be posting a selection of my favorite videos here too with the label "GaaG Classic." Thanks for coming along!

There's no doubt that Savannah is beautiful. There's no doubt it's unique.

What you may not know is that the entirety of downtown Savannah is considered a national historic district, one of the largest in the country. The reason for this is what's known as "The Oglethorpe plan." This specific plan places "Squares" at the center of each city ward(similar to city blocks), and expands the city square by square. Today, 22 of the original 24 squares survive and these squares are one of the main reasons the relatively small city sees millions of tourists a year.
