After years of being just one more eyesore in downtown Savannah, The CVS Corporation, with cooperation from property owner Freidman Jewelers, have put a new face on the building prominently located at 119 Bull Street on the corner of State and Bull Street. This story actually begins though with Downtown Neighborhood Association past president Bill Stube who more than two years ago cajoled the folks at the CVS Corp (who footed the bill) to get this facade changed which is to the benefit of everyone. Located just off of Broughton Street within sight of the newly renovated City Hall with it’s gold leaved Dome, this is just one more example of a Savannah citizenry willing to do what it takes to make our city more beautiful than before. Thank you Bill! Bill has also been one of the recent driving forces to improve other aspects of the public street scapes particularly those in high visibility areas of downtown. Following up on Mills B Lane’s efforts, Bill and DNA board member Diane Houston also recently replanted some problem tree lawn areas - this time with funds raised with the DNA’s Holiday Tour of Homes. Thanks go out to all concerned!!

Until Next Time,
