Savannah

Savannah is the second largest city in the state of Georgia following Atlanta and serves as an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is the first city seen in Dead Center campaign in Left 4 Dead 2 where the survivors meet together for the very first time.

History
A nice peaceful city located in a valley/forest-like area in Georgia, Savannah also serves as a major Atlantic seaport were ships and cruise liners can offload supplies and passengers. Similar to the cities of Fairfield, Newburg, and New Orleans, this city was once flourishing with people and tourists who spent their time and money shopping and buying commercial items and products from malls, strip malls, and local shops which helped with the economy. A local hero named Jimmy Gibbs Jr. is also well known throughout the city and was asked to reveal the newly renovations of Liberty Mall in the fall of 2009.

Two of the main survivors, Coach and Ellis, are born and raised in Savannah where Coach teaches at a local school and Ellis who works at an auto mechanic shop. Ellis seems to know more about the city as he points out more landmarks and places to the other survivors when leaving the city.

Another minor survivor living in Savannah is 60 year-old Whitaker who owns a gun store in the downtown area near Liberty Mall. It is unknown if he was born in Savannah however he is currently seen still living in Savannah at his gun store.

Current Status
Savannah has only just been hit by the Infection and CEDA is seen mobilizing as there was a chance to save the city since the infection has just started as several evacuation centers and CEDA decontamination trailers can been seen throughout the city. The Vannah Hotel served as CEDA's central operations and evacuation base but with the infection raging out of control and CEDA trying to save everyone, the hotel and mall were easily overrun. CEDA slowed down the infected at the hotel by setting parts of the building on fire while they evacuated refugees by rooftop helicopter.

The Survivors arrive on the hotel roof just too late to board the last evacuation helicopter. With no other option open to them, they agree that the best thing to do is to get across town to the other CEDA facility at Liberty Mall which too was also overrun (however the survivors didn't know this at the time).
