24 e

With an eclectic collection of furnishings and accessories Broughton Street’s award winning 24e hopes to help people fuse their individuality and inventiveness with their home environment.
“We have traditional styles to contemporary furniture. Its more than a furniture store, its a lifestyle store,” said Ruel Joyner.”
And as our likes and dislikes often change so does 24e.
"Our store literally changes from every 7 to 14 days and I think it morphs along with fashion and trends.”

"We've had people from Alabama in U-hauls which is cool."
And its no wonder people come from afar...24 e recently won the number one specialty furniture store in the country in the Arts awards, the equivalent to the Oscars in the design industry.
"People like Bloomingdales win this, Neiman Marcus and we won this in Savannah."
But 24e’s notoriety doesn’t end there.
They designed the main stage at the Inc 500 conference where Bill Clinton spoke…the green room and situation room for President Bush.
And even a home that was featured on the popular HGTV show "My Celebrity Home"

Plus, with schools like SCAD they are seeing an influx in talent that contribute to the success of the store.
"We employ a lot of the students and they give us a lot of energy and a lot of great ideas."
Even if not in the market for a new look for your home.... 24e is still a place that can keep you updated on the latest trends
"Even if you’re coming in just to get inspired or get ideas it’s something really unique."
24 e is located at 24 East Broughton...

Learning to Fly at Savannah Aviation

Imagine using a typical four-seat plane to take weekend trips with your friends and family....turning an all-day drive into a short flight in a private plane.
You don’t have to be a commercial or military pilot to take enjoy the view from up above.
Savannah Aviation trains people just like you and i to become private pilots...and while it may be challenging..that’s not all that it is.

On an introductory flight you can expect to be flying a Cessna 172 from engine start to takeoff to landing to shutdown. Once you’re in the air you’ll literally see the world from a whole new perspective.
We had some great views of a cargo ship traveling the Savannah River, the beach and the Tybee pier jutting into the ocean.

Flying lessons involve both flight and ground work in which you learn about aerodynamics, weather, FAA rules and how to plan a cross country flight.
And while all of this may seem exciting I know some of you may be wondering just how dangerous flying lessons are.
"I have duplicate controls on my side of the airplane. So in terms of a risk factor there is nothing the student can get us into that i cant get us out of, " said instructor Bob Whitmer.

Lessons cost between four and seven thousand dollars...you pay as you go and you can take as much time as you need.
Even better...you don't have to own a plane, you can simply rent one .
