It appears The Walla - Newark pulled up to Savannah and got a taste of something real!
From the exquisite fine dining of The Grey Market, Savannah to the down-home love of Simple Soul of Savannah, it seems to have been unforgettable…

Then the Yale University Gospel Choir started singing IN THE MIDDLE OF SIMPLE SOUL!!!

This is the kind of Southern hospitality you can’t plan — only Savannah can serve it up like this.

🌟 A New Era for MLK Boulevard in Savannah! 🚀

Exciting news for Savannah! 🏙️ The Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Celebration Corridor Initiative has been approved, marking a major step toward revitalizing this historic Black business district and reconnecting it to the city’s booming tourism scene.

Our CEO, Katina Wheeler, shared why this initiative is so important:
🗣️ “This was a community of Black businesses that was very much self-sufficient. You could at any moment walk down this street and find anything this community would need.”

For too long, decisions like the I-16 flyover separated this corridor from Savannah’s economic progress. But now, the city is taking bold steps to restore, uplift, and celebrate the legacy of MLK Boulevard!

🔹 What’s Next?
✨ Restoring walkability & beautifying the district
✨ Strengthening economic & community connections
✨ Honoring MLK’s legacy through cultural preservation
✨ Reconnecting Black Savannah with the city’s tourism hub

This is more than a project—it’s a movement to ensure that Savannah’s Black history and businesses continue to thrive for generations to come!

📢 We want to hear from YOU! What changes do you hope to see along MLK Boulevard? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
