Being from Chicago, East is water. In Savannah, the river is north. Along the river is the historic district. The historic district is the downtown, major tourist area and college town all rolled into one package. This district is served by DOT, a free bus service and is very walkable.
West of the historic district are Pooler and the airport. East are the barrier islands, the easternmost being Tybee.
South is the rest of the city. Savannah reaches south. There are numerous districts. South of the historic district is the Street car district that has the largest park/square Forsyth Park.
We lived on Skidaway, a major north/south street approximately a half mile from the southern boundary of the city. Immediately south is the Sandfly area and south of that Wormslow and the rest of the southern barrier islands ending in the exclusive Skidaway Island. The rest of the city is served by CAT, an hourly bus service.
I did not see walkable grocery shopping in the close areas. We are a half mile from the Food Lion; walking with groceries would be difficult because there are no sidewalks here. The sidewalks end at DeRenne about a mile from our cottage. It seems that most people drive to malls that surround the city.
