City (DMOs are non-profit organizations that help promote and market local attractions restaurants and more.) Rebranding their DMO helps the city stand out from the crowd of other regional destinations' marketing “We are excited to introduce Choose Garden City as the new face of our destination marketing efforts,” said Garden City Mayor Bruce Campbell “Our new brand celebrates what makes Garden City such a special place to live In late 2024, Garden City passed a memorandum of understanding with Visit Savannah to promote the city as a destination for tourists The city previously contracted with another DMO the Garden City Convention Center and Visitor’s Bureau but after more than a year of no communication with its leadership they reached out to Visit Savannah along with locally owned marketing agency RobMark conducted venue visits and listening tours with hoteliers and city officials to hear from the community and business owners to develop the creative foundation for the new brand Ianonne said they began working with RobMark in late 2024 and hit the ground running early this year “Our ultimate goal is to drive more visitation to Garden City and fill in more hotels and restaurants,” Ianonne said its about reshaping perceptions and aligning the brand with current market trends community values and traveler expectations.” Ianonne said there was no desire to try and reinvent Garden City the goal is to honor its authenticity while also recognizing its advantages because of its proximity to major attractions in surrounding cities the Ghost Pirates Ice Cover and Anchor Park in Port Wentworth It’s also home to the Georgia Ports Authority and more than half of the city's land is devoted to industrial or commercial uses related to it “We recognize who Garden City’s visitor is today,” Ianonne said “They include people doing business at the ports Families traveling for youth sporting events in and around Chatham County and general leisure visitors preferring a more affordable hotel price point when visiting to experience all that Savannah has to offer Garden City embraces and welcomes them all.” New brand rooted in valuesThe new brand is rooted in values that they heard consistently from city leadership and community members — pride in Garden City’s hometown feel through conversations with business owners “Garden City isn’t trying to be something its not—it’s proud of who it is People here are welcoming and eager to offer visitors a comfortable The branding seeks to reflect the balance of being so close to industrial and commercial opportunities while still having the warmth and character of a smaller community while the blue nods to the river that connects the city to the port and beyond The next step is the development and launch of a new tourism website with a mid-summer launch date the DMO will partner with digital and print media outlets and billboard companies throughout the region Destini Ambus is the general assignment reporter for the Savannah Morning News April 30 was a rare performance for Michigan commit Ethan Armstrong not the 12 strikeouts the right-handed junior threw in six innings of work ensuring the Garden City baseball team a 7-0 win at Melvindale's Szalka Field But the fact that the win came in Western Wayne Athletic Conference play The league isn't your typical blueblood conference Kensington Lakes Activities Association or Oakland Activities Association one school dominates in a particular sport like Romulus in girls basketball or Redford Union in football Armstrong's 95 mph fastball isn't needed unless it's a game vs Most teams use those games to get their players more reps in the batter's box and experience for the back end of their bullpen which gets to pitch Armstrong and simulate future playoff games "It's big time for us," coach Avery Emerson said "It just brings the playoff baseball atmosphere to our games it brings playoff experience into the regular season."   They've already beaten Woodhaven, which is two years removed from finishing as the Division 1 state runner-up while they have upcoming games with Livonia Stevenson it'll play Birmingham Seaholm under the lights Armstrong is expected to start in a few of those no matter its conference prestige or enrollment That's the impact a future Division I arm on the mound can have on your team it's way better than anybody I've ever caught," noted sophomore Ethan VanBelle which is saying something because the catcher helped Michigan win the Little League World Series in 2021 and has been around some stellar pitchers over the years Armstrong never set out to be an elite arm but he thought he'd be a better hitter and infielder than pitcher It wasn't until he started traveling around the country that he realized he had the stuff to pitch in the Big Ten was the eye-opening experience he needed to change his approach to the sport That's when he dedicated himself to getting bigger the pitching started coming along," Armstrong said and I just started becoming a better pitcher These guys were bigger than me and stronger than me Having someone with that pedigree in Garden City's dugout has inspired the Cougars to play their hardest every time they step onto the diamond it shows them what the goal and intensity should be like every single day," Emerson said Added VanBelle: "He's a leader who pushes the guys to get better every day we can compete with anybody in the state."  that's the goal during the Cougars' upcoming slate of non-conference games as they've almost wrapped up the league championship they hope that rings true once the district tournament begins Armstrong should give them a chance to upset a team or two Brandon Folsom covers high school sports in metro Detroit for Hometown Life.
