SCAD Warning: Paper Mill!
Savannah's a great town, but all towns have their bad aspects...
One such aspect is the one thing most visitors and new SCAD first-years had a difficulty with back in the day was the smell of the Paper Mill that was upwind/upriver of the city. Twice a day (and on hot muggy days, seems like all day) the smell of the Paper Mill, that of a big wet smelly fart, would waft over Downtown, the closest part of the city to the River.
It's not fun... but at least you KNOW it wasn't your roomate or the person next to you on the bus who ripped a bad one. (or maybe it was... and he used the paper mill as an excuse?)
Don't worry though, if you spend enough time downtown, you WILL get used to it. By spring of my first year I stopped noticing it. It's not so bad once you get used to it.

I moved to the Southside my last two years, and traded with smell of the paper mill with salt marsh. mmmmmm.

Well, thanks for warning me. I'll be better prepared for the stink now.

You mentioned earlier that you've been in Savannah for a couple of days. I'm surprised you hadn't yet experienced it. Hooo-eee!

Well, most of my time there was either spent in a van, in the hotel or inside some building. I don't think I spent enough time outside to catch a whiff of it. But I'm sure I'll smell it all the time what with getting to class every day.

Just a little group for Dutchies, and Dutch minded people to gettogether. Here we can invite each other to go out in either Amsterdam, the Hague, Rotterdam, or any other Place in Holland. Watch a movie together or go out drinking. Whatever you want.
