[[File:Savannah_2.jpg|thumb|274px|Savannah seen from The Vannah Hotel]] A nice peaceful city located in a valley/forest-like area in Georgia, Savannah also serves as a major Atlantic seaport where ships and cruise liners can offload supplies and passengers. Similar to the cities of [http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Fairfield Fairfield], [http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Newburg 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.
