Savannah in Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil also comes to mind; the city really feels like it has a personality independent of its inhabitants.

Faulkner's Mississippi. Breece D'J Pancake's West Virginia. Tennessee Williams' New Orleans. I think Southern writers do a great job of turning place into character. Faulkner’s Mississippi.
