Jacksonville and Savannah

By Bob Damron

Jacksonville and Savannah are just over 100 miles apart...but the twa cities are separated by far more than geographical distance. Jacksonville. America's largest city in area, is a busy seaport... as well as the financial commercial and industrial center of Florida. In spite of this, many locals still view the world with a red-necked, bible mentality! On the other hand, Savannah is a

laid-back, delightful old south-show bar attracting some lesbiern city...where nobody gives a damn what you do, as long as you do it discreetlySurprisingly, Jacksonville is. Florida's largest city, with a population of nearly 600.000. The Old Plantation is the only gay club open on Sundays. There is also the hot Brothers at 484 May St. The Phoenix at 1440 San Marco is the city's levi and leather bar, while the New French Quarter at 527 Main, is a

ans. Bo's Crowbar at 504 N. 1st is the only gay bar at Jacksonville Beach. but forced Sunday closure is hurting. Ladies like the Back Door, while the Junction gets a tired, older clientele. CB C.'s popular Club Jacksonville is located at 1939 Hendricks... I stay at the Hilton Hotel, which has a.splendid view of the St. John's River and downtown Jacksonville. It is expensive, and budget minded travelers may prefer the nearby travelodge. Brother's Corner House at Edison and May is a good mixed, restaurant Most straight restaurants in town are uninspired, although Whitby's Wharf at the Hilton isn't bad...and the waiters are cute. If you're into sightseeing, you may want to visit Fort Carolina National Monument. Also the Zoological Park, the spectacular Friendship Fountain and Marina at St. John's River Park, and several art museums. Jacksonville is also the home of the annual Gator bowl football game.

Savannah, with a population of 125.000 is Georgia's second. most important city. Founded in 1733, it was the first settlement in the State... and is rich in historical lore! Visit the charming and often cruisy squares along Bull Street, Christ Church. Forsyth Park. The Owens-Thomas House and nearby Fort Pulaske National Monument.

Tueys is Savannah's most popular gay club. It occupies the third floor of a building on the corner of Bay and Jefferson. Enter thru the unmarked door off the rear Parking lot... and just follow the disco beat. Who's Who, at 217 E. Bay St., will probably have opened their new disco by the time this article is, printed. The Planter's Tavern, downstairs at the elegant Pink House attracts a closety. mixed clientele This i! one of several very good (mostly straight) restaurants in town. Others include the Pirate's House, Boar's Head, Johnny Harris and Tassey's Pier. I usu ally stay at Howard Johnson's Motel.

Savannah and Jacksonville are two very different southern cities. Yet both can be interesting in its own way. Except for the middle of winter, both have warm, hurnid climates. The bars can be warm and friendly too, and you have fun, especially when you're
