Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Andrea Goto has called Savannah home for 16 years, finally replacing “you guys” with “y’all” and “pop” with “Coke.” As a writing professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design, frequent contributor to Savannah magazine, and mother to a native-born child who insists she’s a “Bulldog,” Andrea can almost pass as Southern—bless her heart.
