Since some of Savannah’s earliest days, its residents have met and mingled in this district between Ellis and Franklin Squares to shop and trade. Today, Ellis Square has been restored as a space for public enjoyment, and the four blocks surrounding it are the reinvented City Market, still bustling with entertainment, dining, art and retail.
