SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - For businesses in downtown Savannah, the festivities around St. Patrickâs Day typically bring in new customers and a big influx of income.
âWe rely a lot on tourists. We do have a lot of solid locals who shop with us, but a lot of our business is foot traffic. So, without foot traffic people donât find us and if people donât find us, we donât have orders to fulfill,â said Satchel Shop Manager Mary Kate Polsinelli.
