The group spills out of McDonough's Irish Pub into a low golden light and the city exhales its history. Cobblestones click underfoot as your guide threads stories of Native American trade routes, Irish immigrants, and the Gullah Geechee communities into the rhythm of afternoon happy hour. The Savannah River hums nearby, daring you to slow down and look across to the working waterfront where ships once brought rice, cotton, and salt marsh stories.
