Beautiful Victory Drive
(U.S. Highway 80)

Built as a memorial to Savannah's soldiers of World War I, this is said to be the longest palm and azalea lined drive in the world. It passes through picturesque residential sections and on to the little town of Thunderbolt and Savannah Beach and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

Ooh! I wanna go down that palm tree and azalea lined drive.
ReplyDeleteAt the bottom left of the Cathedral is The Sisters of Mercy Convent. Jefferson Davis' (President of the Confederacy) daughters were schooled here for a short period of time. To the left of the convent is St. Vincent's Academy, an all-girls Catholic high school started by the Sisters of Mercy. (It began as a boarding school.)
