Look familiar? Known locally as the Wisteria House, the historic Joseph B. Chesnutt residence is coveted for its architectural details — its turreted facade, twin copper roofs, gracious front porch and side verandas, and, of course, its climbing wisteria vines. Situated adjacent to Forsyth Park, the landmark home was built in 1897 for Chesnutt, a merchant who lived there with his family for three decades.

The current owners, Midwesterners Charlie and Kelli Kunkel, purchased the property in 2021. They spent more than a year renovating and restoring the 5,600-square-foot home with the help of Alchemy Restoration, Savannah Victory Gardens , Williamson Millworks, Savannah Surfaces, Garden State Tile, and others.

To read more and see more photos of this crown jewel in Savannah’s Historic District, pick up a copy of the January/February issue of Savannah magazine.

Meet Kristen Kutchey Patterson. She and her family own The Mint Green Tag Sale Company, helping people through major transitions, like selling a home or intentional downsizing. Managing and staging estate sales is a far cry from the typical 9-to-5 job, but even an ideal day off for Patterson doesn’t bring much change in pace. When she’s not running laps around the city in preparation for an upcoming sale, she has two little ones running laps around her — and she’s loving every minute of it. Tag along with this born-and-raised Savannahian as she shares some of her favorite spots around town.

When Chazito’s Latin Cuisine was first conceived in 2012, Chaz Ortiz was serving just three items — empanadas, plantains and pinchos (a Puerto Rican kabob) — under a pop-up tent at local events. By 2015, his grandfather purchased an old Frito Lay’s truck, which they converted over the course of six months into the now-recognizable red food truck. In 2016, a second truck was purchased, and the Pooler brick-and-mortar location opened to the public. Read more about Chazito's Latin Cuisine's road to success — including being voted Best Food Truck in Savannah magazine’s 2024 Best of Savannah — here: https://savannahmagazine.com/best-of-savannah/chazitos-latin-cuisine-is-on-a-roll/

It’s a new year — and a new direction — for the House Museum - a property of Historic Savannah Foundation. “Old Chan Magic: Chinese Roots, Southern Branches” is the first exhibition in which the museum will focus on a subject outside of the 1820s, when the Davenport family and its household staff lived in the residence.

The photography exhibition, which opens Jan. 16 and runs through May, celebrates the influence and lives of multiple generations of the Chan family, who lived at the Davenport House when it served as a tenement from around 1890 to 1955.

On Friday, Jan. 17, author , who provided the Chan family photos for the show, will discuss her memoir “In the Garden Behind the Moon,” which traces her family’s journey from pre-revolutionary China to Savannah.

Improving one’s health is one of the top New Year’s Resolutions made by many Americans. While stress-reduction, flexibility, strength training and a balanced diet are key aspects of a healthy lifestyle, recent research has been pointing to the gut as ground zero for mental and physical wellness. But what, exactly, is a healthy gut? Why does it matter, and what does it have to do with our mental well-being? Local health professionals from ExperCARE, Holistic Wellness Center of Savannah, and Gastroenterology Consultants of Savannah weigh in.

We’re celebrating a big milestone in 2025: our 35th anniversary. 🏆 Turning 3-5 is no small feat in the print publishing world, where even the most celebrated titles can slip into obscurity. Volume I, No. 1 of Savannah magazine debuted in Summer 1990 with just 64 pages. (Our smallest issues today run at least 152 pages.)

The magazine’s inaugural cover image featured the smiling, mustachioed Thompson’s Sporting Goods softball team. 🥎 The team was profiled as they kicked off a new season, in hot pursuit of another national Amateur Softball Association Class A championship. Thompson's Sport Shop - Savannah remains in business to this day, supplying team uniforms and sports equipment to area athletes.

The issue also featured a story on the groundbreaking for Truman Parkway and news of Donald Trump’s expected yacht visit to the Hyatt Regency Savannah riverfront docks. An ad for a new community called The Landings Company, which was a little less than half finished, encouraged interested buyers to complete an attached form and mail it in. ✉️ In its full-page ad for Dixie Crystals sugar, Savannah Foods & Industries Inc. touted the sweet stuff as a nutritional powerhouse, Bay Camera Company offered one-hour processing of film 🎞 onto Kodak paper, Millie Lewis touted the advantages of modeling school, and Atlantic Cellular showed off a pricey – and bulky – new technology called the cell phone 📱.

We – and Savannah – have come a long way since 1990. Cheers to 35 more years! 🥂
