In 1965, newlyweds Henry and Charlene Doyle traveled by Greyhound Bus from their hometown of Metter to Savannah so Henry could attend barber school. Back then, Highway 80 took you through the middle of downtown and through Savannah Avenue which was and remains one of the prettiest streets in Statesboro. It was on these rides down through Savannah Avenue that they fell in love with Statesboro and began dreaming of living here.
