Michelle Robertson and and Alix Martichoux,
The call of the South pulled them from the Bay Area at different points in their lives and for different reasons.
Tom Kerekes moved to Atlanta from an affluent East Bay suburb with his parents, just as he was starting high school.
Catherine Devlin left for Irving, Texas, upon graduating from UC Berkeley. After 22 years in the Bay Area, she wanted to see the world outside Northern California.
East Bay native Molly McTarnaghan, moved to Charleston, S.C., to study. After graduating, she stayed.
