Picker Joe’s
Antique Mall
“I’ve got what I call PFPT, Passion for the Past,” says James Plumlee, owner of Picker Joe’s Antique Mall. “It’s not just the items. It’s the people I meet and the history along the way that I love most about this business. It’s when people come in and say, ‘Oh, my grandmother had this,’ and we share stories. It’s about memories.”
The third Mint Car Wash location opens earlier this year at 302 Commercial Dr. in Savannah. The third Mint Car Wash in the Savannah market, and the first to be built by a local construction company is open for business on the southside.
The location is 302 Commercial Dr. near the corner of Hodgson Memorial Drive and was built by the Dewitt Tilton Group, a local commercial and industrial construction company.
“The challenge of a building like this, which is so unlike typical retail or commercial establishments, is one we welcome,” said Chris Tilton, president of Dewitt Tilton Group. “To see it opening is what I love about commercial construction.”

LeAndrea Mikell, I arrive to find Past President
Cynthia Cradduck outside with her 1-year-old son
Emerson.
As we walk inside the neighborhood gastropub, I tell Cynthia that I am a longtime fan of this international program for young professionals that develops leadership skills through relationships and service to others. I always look to see who the new members are and who has moved up in their leadership roles.
Guess who is the new president? My favorite Calvary Day School dude
Gordon Hunter! Looking dapper in a black suit and yellow-striped tie, Hunter tells me, “I am excited to share our 2021 chapter plans with our members on Feb. 2 and invited two new guys tonight.”
Over 100 gifts donated to Savannah’s Union Mission
For over 25 years, the Savannah College of Art and Design has partnered with Savannah’s Union Mission to provide presents for children and their families while they are either experiencing homelessness or struggling to provide for themselves. This year SCAD donated clothing, toys, books, electronics, bicycles, and more to these families in need, spreading some much needed holiday cheer.
A donation of $1,000 to Backpacks of Love
For the second year in a row, the Dewitt Tilton Group supported Backpacks of Love’s fight to eliminate hunger among school-aged children living in Bryan County by donating $1,000 toward their cause. Along with providing this funding, Dewitt Tilton Group employees also lent a hand in assembling food packages that were provided to underprivileged schoolchildren and their families.
