Susie Morris and Stuart Lyles, owners and operators of The Lighthouse Inn – Bed and Breakfast, have transformed a distinctive Fort Screven home into a warm, comfortable, elegant island retreat. As I opened the gate into the side yard garden I suddenly felt twelve years old again. The home that is now the Lighthouse B&B [...] -
Tybee Life
Our village is glad to welcome Andrew back home. You were missed and you look fabulous. Just Julia’s sister, Sarah, from Penny Lane in England came to Tybee fleeing the Royal Wedding. Tybee’s new Chief of Police Robert Bryson spoke at the Quarterly Island Women’s Prayer Breakfast hosted by St. Michael Catholic Church. He was charming, [...] -

MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK IN 2011
The 2010 hurricane season was very active but you wouldn’t know it by the damage it caused. Nineteen storms were named and no hurricanes made landfall on the United States. That is quite unusual with such a large number of storms. The long term average number of storms in a given year is ten. It [...] -
Dear Fran Van Flanders

Taking a Break from the History
For something different I thought you might like to know how these articles originated, where they have been, and where they might be going. Or not. When I was researching the history of Tybee’s cemetery and the people known to be buried there for a booklet I was preparing circa 2004, Diane Sikes at City [...]
