In the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt, the author captures the unique social atmosphere of various cities in Georgia. Unlike Atlanta, where residents focus on professional connections, Macon emphasizes religious affiliations, and Augusta shows an interest in family heritage. Each city has its own distinct social priorities that reflect its culture.

In contrast, Savannah stands out for its hospitality and focus on leisure. Instead of business or ancestry, the first question visitors are greeted with is about their drink preference, highlighting a relaxed and welcoming attitude. This reflects Savannah's charm and its appeal as a place where social interactions prioritize enjoyment and comfort over more formal considerations.
