Save Savannah’s Globe

The globe is all the way from the 1950s and was made to hold natural gas as a high pressure storage tank. It’s important to Savannah’s history. It’s one of the first things you see when you enter the city and is also noticeable from the road while driving. Many of us grew up looking at it as they drove away so it’s personal to local lives. Tearing it down to replace it with yet another gas station (there are several already in the area) is wrong. Not only is it historical, but it’s iconic, nostalgic, and personal to many Savannah citizens.
The early 20th century was a time where architecture was thought of differently. Many buildings shaped like literal objects, such as a the Donut Hole donut shop, were built to represent different things. Over the years, they have been torn down more and more, and there aren’t many left. Don’t let them tear this one down too! It is part of a group not only important to Savannah’s history, but also national history.
