Heads up for pet parents: An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.*

Institutional appetite fuels project: Earlier this month, LCP Group closed $104.5 million in construction financing for Savannah’s first Ritz-Carlton, paving the way for a 168-room luxury hotel with a rooftop pool, spa, and dining -- get all the deal details.

Restaurant scene in flux: The Cuban Window has closed, with its owners opening Your House in Starland. Marbled & Fin is taking reservations in Savannah and will expand to seven days on April 27 -- see what's opening and closing.

Casting calls around town: Glen Powell has been in Savannah filming Comeback Kid. A video shows him singing Wagon Wheel at a bar, apparently for the movie. Filming is expected to continue for weeks -- get all the details.

The bill everyone over 50 should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half — this free comparison tool makes it easy.*

Retirees are making moves: After gold's best year in nearly five decades, more folks than ever are moving part of their savings into precious metals. Not all of it... just enough to hedge against inflation. AHG put together a free guide that explains how it works -- grab your copy here.*

Crave-worthy local pours: This week, slip into Starland for small-batch creativity from Two Tides Brewing Co. where hazy IPAs and bright, flavor-bomb sours rotate often enough to keep your taste buds curious. It’s the kind of easygoing neighborhood spot that makes catching up with friends feel refreshingly simple.

Neighborhood date-night upgrade: Cotton & Rye is that Savannah staple you keep meaning to revisit... scratch-made breads, charcuterie vibes, and burgers ground in-house, all in a midcentury bank with a breezy deck. It’s creative comfort food that feels special without trying too hard, perfect for this week’s “we deserve it” dinner.

Your midweek sugar fix: When the late-day slump hits, River Street Sweets has your back with fresh pralines, chocolate bear claws, and glazed pecans you’ll “save for later” then immediately eat. Savannah-made since 1973 and fun to watch in action, especially if you like seeing candy crafted right in front of you.

That patch of scalp that wasn't there a year ago: It's more common than most folks talk about. Especially in your 50s... hormones, stress, and nutrition all start pulling at hair density at once. Nutrafol is a drug-free daily supplement designed to work on those causes together — and in clinical studies, 93% of women said their hair looked healthier after six months. *Take a look →

The slower you walk, the more it works: Tai Chi walking is trending online. Turns out it's centuries old — slow deliberate steps, paced breath, attention on the body. Thirty minutes a day burns fat, lifts your mood, and builds balance. No gym, no treadmill, no pounding on the joints. Take the quick quiz to see if it fits, then use code BASELOCAL for a discount on the coaching plan. *See how it works →

For women who've been feeling off for years: The fatigue, the weight creeping up, the mood swings, the sleep that won't hold. Turns out most of those "it's just aging" problems are actually caused by hormones, and proper HRT can get you back to feeling like yourself. The catch? You can't get it without a full hormone panel and a doctor who understands what those numbers mean. Most women never get either, but Hone Health gives you both. *See how it works →

Two sprays before bed, no more snoring? It really is that simple. No mouthpiece to wrestle with, no CPAP mask, no nose strips that peel off at 2am. This doctor-developed throat spray has been keeping sleepers quiet for 30 years, and first-time orders are 40% off right now. *See how it works →

Your homeowners insurance has a blind spot: It covers your house if a tree falls on it. It doesn’t cover your furnace when it quits in January, your AC when it dies in July, or your water heater when it starts leaking on a Tuesday. Those are all classified as "normal wear and tear," and they're 100% on you. American Home Shield can help fill that gap for ~$1/day (even if your appliances and systems are really old).*See what it covers →
