ON T H E C O VER :
Stratton Leopold, a feature film producer
for more than three decades, shares a
specialty sundae with his wife, Mary,
outside Leopold’s Ice Cream in Savannah. The family business, begun in 1919
by Stratton’s father Peter and uncles
George and Basil, is his “day job,” says a
sign in the popular Savannah shop. (The
sundae is the newly created “GEORGIA
Magazine Sundae”—get a scoop today!)

FROM THE EDITOR
What’s better than strolling
Savannah’s riverfront and viewing its
historic sites? Try dipping into an ice
cream sundae at Leopold’s Ice Cream
while you sightsee! The many ice
cream varieties, toppings and special
sauces are one-of-a-kind—and the
business is too. Family-owned and
begun in 1919 by current owner Stratton Leopold’s father and uncles, the
shop is a Savannah icon. It ranks tops
in anyone’s book, and, in fact, Leopold’s Ice Cream helped make Savannah No. 1 in Travel+Leisure’s 2013
America’s Best Cities for Ice Cream!
What makes the shop even more
intriguing is the Hollywood connection. Aside from (real) ice cream
shop period pieces, including the
original shop’s stone counters, there
are movie posters and celebrity photos on every wall. Leopold, a native
Savannahian, has been a feature film
producer for more than three decades
with credits including “The Sum of All
Fears” and “Mission: Impossible III.”
He’s also filmed many movies in our
state, including some in production
and others still up his sleeve.
What’s more, he’s created the
“GEORGIA Magazine Sundae,” which
he and wife Mary are enjoying in our
cover photo. Come try this Georgia
pecan- and peanut-filled confection
this month! See “Sweet success,” page
16, for more on “The Scoop”!
While on the Georgia coast, don’t
miss watching the dolphins frolic in
the waterways, especially off Tybee
Island. These wild estuarine Bottlenose dolphins are being studied by
an all-volunteer organization that
records dolphin behavior and creates
photo IDs. The Dolphin Project will
celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2014
monitoring the health of the coastal
marine mammal population; for more
details, see “Tracking the Bottlenose
dolphins,” page 22.
Enjoy!
