Savannah mainstays Bucky and Barry crooned classic hits in front of Wild Wing Cafe on Sunday for a crowd of tourists and locals, a typical weekend sight in City Market.

The hometown rock duo is a typical weekend sight in City Market, but the last week has been anything but typical for the area. Following a shooting and subsequent fatal car crash that killed three after the July 4th fireworks celebration.

A shooting and subsequent fatal car crash that killed three after the July 4th fireworks celebration shook the popular Savannah tourism and nightlife destination. Crowds in the area dwindled this weekend as a result.

On Sunday, the tables facing Bucky and Barry were well populated; only a few tables were empty. But Friday and Saturday night, the area was much more barren, according to Heather Sanders, a bartender at Molly Macpherson's pub.

"We've closed before 2 (a.m.) both days, Friday and Saturday, and that's very early," Sanders said. "The bands usually quit playing at 2 (a.m.), and they've stopped at 1 o'clock and 1:30 (a.m.) each day. They would finish a song, and there was almost no one here, so the silence was really eerie."

Local Jacki DeSantis and her friends decided to head downtown Saturday night. DeSantis said her group decided to head over to West Congress Street to check out The Rail Pub and The Congress Street Social Club around 9:45 p.m.

They were held up a bit by the rain, but wound up at The Rail around 10:30 p.m. DeSantis said the streets were nearly empty, but the bar was a little more populated.

"There were more people inside the bars then there were outside," DeSantis said. "But even then, The Rail on Saturday night - if you go upstairs after 10, you can't even move, but we got a spot at the bar, no problem."

Next door at Boomy's, manager Jayme Simmonds wasn't expecting to receive a usual weekend crowd. Simmonds said business wasn't great this weekend, and the City Market area as a whole has dwindled in patronage since the shooting and crash.

"Everyday since then has been significantly less than what it normally is. It's also the time of year as well, but Friday should be a lot busier than it was," Simmonds said. "People are really still concerned about gang violence and retaliation violence. Everybody's emotions are still raw, still trying to make sense of it."
