"Moving the big Great Dane dog to Indiana is an insult to Savannah, where it was known and loved as a landmark for many years. Better to have it here locally as part of the Bay Street renewal. And let them create a duplicate up North. Thank you."

"So Jane Fishman was totally on the mark - like she took the words right out of my mouth. Way to go, Jane."

"Yes, the reasons I have maintained my subscription: Leonard Pitts and Streeter. Thank you."

"Good morning. I heard that the 'American Pickers' are coming to Savannah. Could we find out somehow the date they're coming and how we can gain contact with them. I have some old things of our grandfather's that I would like them to look at if they're looking at individuals. Thank you so much." (Editor's note: There are no specific dates set, but you can contact the production team at americanpickers@cineflix.com or 855-OLD-RUST.)

"All of Savannah should approve the excellent work of Mayor DeLoach. Republican or Democrat, he is a man of common sense."

"Jane Fishman's article 'No more stalling with words' was spot on. The 'ya knows, 'I means' and 'sos' drive me up a tree. Thank you, Jane. At least there's one person left who understands."

"Greetings from Milwaukee. I saw in the Savannah Morning News about the Polar Plunge on Tybee Island. It's kind of been interesting because the Milwaukee Polar Bear Club did the same thing on New Year's Day. The biggest difference was the temperature in Milwaukee was minus 3 degrees, the wind chill was minus 16 degrees, and the water temperature was 33 degrees, and yes, rescuers were standing by. If any of y'all want to join in next year, you're more than welcome."

"I'm always hearing how crazy Donald Trump is. If he's so crazy, we need to pass around some of that crazy because I'd sure like to have some of that money. Thank you."
