Did you know the movie Eastwood made from the book Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil (by John Berendt) is filmed in the Mercer house in Savannah, GA? It's a bit of a weird book & film, but I love the way he captures Savannah. Many of my relatives live(d) in Savannah.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-90743338067043645672009-11-09T09:38:17.925-05:002009-11-09T09:38:17.925-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-57020752531290624622009-11-09T09:27:12.383-05:002009-11-09T09:27:12.383-05:00Oh, I missed that so will get the dvd!
