So get this…the “Creative Coast” moniker rocked a mention in the New York Times! Together with Brandi’s hotshot interview on being gluten free earlier in the year, that ain’t too shabby.

Check out the quote from the full article:

Perhaps most notable is a budding art scene that includes the high — a major expansion of the Telfair Museum — and the low — a scene energized by students and instructors at the booming Savannah College of Art and Design. Civic boosters are even trying to reposition the region as the “Creative Coast.”

How cool is that!?!?!

They also profiled one of our local fav’s…Back in the Day Bakery. Yum.
