    The Forrest Gump benchFilm & TV LocationsBonus

    The bench sat in Chippewa Square — which you walked through this morning — for the length of the shoot and was then taken indoors, because it was a film prop and the square wanted its square back. It's in the history museum now. Life is like a box of chocolates was written in a Savannah square, and the square is still exactly as it looks.
