Life is about more than work, and entrepreneurs are especially tuned to what makes a community come alive. What attracts millions of visitors to Savannah may well not be what attracts talent, energy and innovation to Savannah, though there may be some synergies such as music, especially local musicians and hole-in-the-wall venues. Most of Savannah’s amenities concentrate heavily on attracting visitors who fill up hotel rooms, support high-end restaurants, and leave behind hotel and auto rental taxes that they paid. Greater Savannah want to identify and promote those venues that give the place a personality that speaks to entrepreneurs – just a cities such as Nashville and Austin have done – they support local talent, local business, local brands, local ownership – because brands such as Starbucks, Victoria Secret, GAP, Ben & Jerry’s, l’occitane, Five Guys, and the like create nothing distinctive or attractive to entrepreneurial talent.
