Although the buildings right around it are not as nice, the area is not that nasty. Along White Bluff Rd there are many nice hotels and stores and along Abercorn St there are several well kept shopping centers and futher down is Ogelthorpe Mall, Savannahs primary mall. Across White Bluff Rd from the globe is Hunter Army Airfield. http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=h&hl=en&ll=32.018811,-81.139097&z=15 @ koen - I used to live near Savannah and have seen tammo’s globe in person.

Have to drink some more of that fine Ecuadorian coffee to get the art of replying on GSS just right! ;) Keith's globe is pretty cool by the way, though it looks like a nasty part of town.
