Our fabulous tour of Atlanta, Georgia, started in the Downtown and Midtown areas, where we drove past some of the city's more well-known landmarks, such as the historical Fox Theatre (near the intersection of major north-south running Peachtree St. and 3rd St.), which is one of the country’s best preserved picture palaces from the Golden Age of cinema. Designed and built in the 1920s, the theater was originally the Yaarab Temple Shrine Mosque, the headquarters of the Shriners. Visitors encounter an indoor Arabian courtyard with flickering stars and drifting clouds when they come to see the Atlanta Ballet, a summer film series, Broadway productions, and other musical performances. That classic building is located across the street from the Georgian Terrance Hotel where the stars of Gone with the Wind stayed during the Atlanta premier of their movie in 1939. It's also one of 33 Downtown or Midtown hotels in CEDIA's official room block for EXPO 2009.
