If Your Appliances are Dirty They Aren’t Cleaning Anything!

Everyone cleans their clothes and dishes regularly but when was the last time you actually made sure that the appliance responsible for doing the cleaning was clean itself?

“Signature Playground” Coming to Daffin Park

Daffin Park is about to get a big upgrade, as Savannah City Council has approved a $1.1 million contract for the city’s first “signature playground.” The project, which is part of the city’s Recreation Re-Imagined initiative, promises to offer a modern and inclusive play area for children of all ages and abilities.

Scheduled for completion in 2025, the playground will span several “zones” offering a wide variety of play experiences, including dual ziplines, saucer swings, a twist tower, a splash pad, and even a “mega zone” featuring inclusive climbing units. Designed to accommodate everyone, the park will include ADA-compliant play sets, surfaces, and adult changing stations in public restrooms, ensuring it’s a place where all kids can enjoy the fun.

Wrap up the week by sharing your opinion! Every Friday, vote on a local question and see how your thoughts line up with others in Savannah.
