Southern Cross Cottage Improvements!

1 Comment / General /

     There’s been some work going on over at 1716 Chatham Avenue…and we wanted to share the “new and improved” Southern Cross Cottageporch pictures with you!

We just love the inviting atmosphere…and isn’t that vintage Tybee sign wonderful!
There are so many nooks and crannies where you can sit and just enjoy the ocean breezes!
Doesn’t this picture make you want to grab a friend and relax with a nice cold pitcher of sweet tea? Joe and Sherry did a great job! We hope you make plans to visit and enjoy the changes soon!

Live Like a Local: The Tybee Post Theater

1 Comment / Live Like a Local /

The Tybee Post Theater is definitely a local treasure. If you don’t know about it, let us give you a little background history!

an old post card of the theater

The theater was built in 1930 on Historic Fort Screven by the U.S. Army, and was in use until 1945. It is said to be one of the first theaters in Georgia to show sound pictures, called Talkies. The fort was decommissioned and in 1947, the City of Tybee acquired the property. Private owners continued operation as a movie theater (then known as The Beach Theater) up until the mid 1960s, when it was finally closed for good.

Well thankfully, in 2001, the Tybee Island Historical Society purchased the building, saving it from demolition. The non-profit group Friends of the Tybee Theater acquired the theater in 2006. The restorations began quickly after that in 2007!

The goal of the group is to create a place for the Tybee community that hosts all sorts of events. Banquets, movies, plays…you name it! The Arts are always an important part of a community’s well being. And, of course, that’s usually good for the local economy too!
This October, Tybee Stars FUN-raisers begin all around the island in support of the continued restoration and completion of the Post Theater. These events will run through January and are sure to be loads of fun! Join the community for the first FUN-raiser October 3rd at Marlin Monroe’s Surfside Grill…you won’t want to miss a minute of this one!  Put on your best costume and participate in the Miley and Mullets Contest! If any one has ever mistaken you for Miley or Billy Ray Cyrus, this is the contest for you! The proceeds go to benefit the efforts to restore the historic Post Theater and give the Tybee community the gift of the Arts for years to come. It is fun for a great cause and we can’t wait to see you there!

Sea Turtle Update!

Leave a Comment / Sea Turtles /

Nest #9 hatched last Friday night! There were 9 volunteers on hand to see all the babies emerge and make their way safely to the water!
Tammy, with the Tybee Sea Turtle Project, excavated Tuesday and learned more about the nest. There were one hundred and five eggs that hatched successfully out of one hundred and seventeen. She also found seven live babies still in the nest and released them near the water. So, all told, there were 97 little success stories born last week!

There are only two nests left to keep an eye on for the 2010 season! We are so grateful for the hard work of everyone involved with the Tybee Sea Turtle Project. Make sure to visit their Facebook page and see the amazing videos of the Nest 9 babies they have posted! Truly beautiful footage! To learn more about sea turtles in our area, you can also visit the Tybee Island Marine Science Center website. Or better yet, plan a trip! We can’t wait to see what the rest of the turtle season will bring!
