Victory Drive (formerly known as Estill Avenue from West Broad Street to Waters Avenue and as Dale Avenue east from Waters to the town of Thunderbolt) served as Savannah’s southern limit during the late nineteenth century. With the development of Chatham Crescent (14.2) in 1910, 460 palmetto trees were planted along Estill and Atlantic avenues, the central north-south spine of that development, with Georges Bignault consulting on its design. Victory Drive acquired its present name in 1923 to commemorate America’s role in World War I, and during the early and mid-twentieth century it was a center of Savannah nightlife, with clubs, restaurants, and a drive-in theater (including Johnny Harris’s Restaurant and Lounge, which opened in 1924 and still operates here). Some of the earliest strip malls in Savannah appeared at the intersection with Skidaway Road.
