                     RECOGNIZING SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring recognition 
to the city of Savannah, Georgia, as it was named among the best places 
to retire by Southern Living.
  This travel publication considered numerous factors such as cost of 
living, home values, hospitality, accessibility, and others. Savannah 
was even nicknamed the ``Hostess City of the South.''
  The city was highlighted for its arts and culture, as well as its 
historic charm. Being an important asset to the city, the Savannah 
College of Art and Design fills nearly 70 buildings downtown and hosts 
an annual sidewalk arts festival named ``Chalk of the Town.''
  However, there is much more beyond this incredible culture. The city 
dates back all the way to 1733, which shines through the carefully 
preserved historic buildings, roads, and homes.
  Savannah offers trolley rides through picturesque squares, as well as 
dozens of historic cemeteries. The city holds the key to the most 
excellent quality of life.
  The city is my home. It is where I have lived all my life, and I am 
so very proud of the city of Savannah.
