Common movie related tourist questions: 

Where is the bench? - Answer: unknown or 'in storage'- reference to the bus stop park bench used in Forrest Gump (movie with Tom Hanks.)   The street was shut down during the shooting of the movie and the bus that was seen in the movie traveled the wrong way on the street.

Where is the bird-girl statue? - Answer: It is housed in the Telfair Museum (picture below, right - bird-girl image is also present.)  This is a direct reference to the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Where is Bonaventure Cemetery? - Answer: Bonaventure Cemetery (picture below, left) is located in Thunderbolt, Ga (along the ICW - Intra-coastal waterway.)

We refer to it as 'The Book'  - Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - Savannah tourism saw a significant increase after this book was published.
