Midtown Life Style     Midtown  Life Style Midtown Atlanta is a district in Atlanta, Georgia situated between the commercial and financial district of downtown to the south and the affluent residential, shopping, and nightlife district of Buckhead to the north. It is roughly bounded by North Avenue to the South, the Downtown Connector to the west, Monroe Drive to the east, and Interstate 85 to the north.                   Piedmont Park Piedmont Park-Piedmont Park is the "Central Park" of Atlanta, Georgia, located in Midtown, north of the city center. Originally the land was owned by a Dr. Benjamin Franklin Walker, who used it as his out-of-town gentleman's farm and residence. He sold it in 1887 for use as the site of the Piedmont Exposition, during which the first commercial showing of a motion picture in the U.S. was made. The park today is largely as Joseph Forsyth Johnson designed it for the exposition. After that, the Piedmont Driving Club puchased it for their golf course and club. The original Walker residence has been incorporated as a room in the clubhouse.                 The High Museum of Art The High Museum of Art is the primary art museum in Atlanta, Georgia. The museum is a division of the Woodruff Arts Center, which also includes the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta College of Art, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Young Audiences and the 14th Street Playhouse.   Fox Theatre The Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia is one of the grand movie palaces built in the United States in the 1920s. The theatre's unique origin and Moorish design sets it apart from others of the era. Originally intended as the Yaarab Temple Shrine Mosque, a headquarters for the Shriners, the $2.75 million project was completed only with funding and a twenty-one year lease by movie mogul William Fox, who was building theatres around the country at the time. The 4678-seat theatre, which replicates an Arabian courtyard (complete with a sky of flickering stars and drifting clouds) opened on December 25, 1929, just two months after the Stock Market Crash.     NEWS | MOVIES   To Learn more, contact us at  404-312-3459 or email Justin.Herring@southeastmortgage.com     Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Atlanta Symphony Orchestra-The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is an American orchestra based in Atlanta, Georgia.
