The Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center is a theater located in the SoNo district of Atlanta, Georgia. The theater, which seats 4,600, regularly hosts touring productions of Broadway musicals, concerts, seminars, comedy acts, and high school graduations and commencement ceremonies for Atlanta's John Marshall Law School. In addition to performances, the civic center can host conferences and exhibits as well, with 5,800 square feet (540 m²) of meeting space. The civic center is owned and operated by the Atlanta city government’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, but brings in enough revenue to be self-supporting.The Atlanta Civic Center was built in 1967 on the site of Ripley Street and part of Currier Street in the Buttermilk Bottom slum. It was partly built as the city's convention center, a role now largely filled by the state-run Georgia World Congress Center. It once served as the home of "Theatre of the Stars", a summer series of Broadway musicals featuring well-known stars of the entertainment industry. The Balanchine production of "The Nutcracker" was performed there annually for several years. The Civic Center also served as the site for the 1996 Summer Olympics cultural program.

It is located in Atlanta's SoNo district. This station has seen an increase of faregate totals and ridership in the past years due to the Megabus, which drops off and picks up passengers above the station. Additionally, there has been an increased interest in high-rise buildings in the area.LocationCivic Center station is located in SoNo, a sub-district of Downtown, with convenient access to the southern end of Midtown Atlanta. The station is named after the nearby Atlanta Civic Center three blocks east at Piedmont Avenue NE, Centennial Hill, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Peachtree Summit and SunTrust Plaza skyscrapers to the south.

AT&T Midtown Center I is a 206.4m, 47-story skyscraper in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. Completed in 1982, it serves as the regional headquarters of BellSouth Telecommunications, which does business as AT&T Southeast, and was acquired as part of AT&T's acquisition of BellSouth. BellSouth Corporate headquarters was located in the Campanile building, also in Midtown.BackgroundThe company, then called Southern Bell, originally planned to build the parking deck for the tower one block further east at the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and Peachtree Street. This would have required the razing of the historic Fox Theatre which would have been an especially great loss to the city after the downtown Loew's Grand Theatre was destroyed by fire in 1978. Tremendous opposition, protests, fundraising, and petition drives within the community prevented the Fox's demolition. Even Liberace spoke out on behalf of the "Fabulous Fox". In the end, a complicated deal was struck to build the parking deck on an alternate site north of the main tower on West Peachtree Street.
The Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans Administration Building, commonly known as Tech Tower, is a historic building and focal point of the central campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, Georgia, US.Located at 225 North Avenue NW in Midtown Atlanta, it was erected in 1888 as the Academic Building, with classrooms to complement the hands-on training in the adjacent shop building. It was the second edifice completed on the Georgia Tech campus and it is the oldest surviving one.Tech Tower has achieved local, cultural, and historical significance. Monuments and plaques commemorating philanthropy towards Georgia Tech adorn the building and surrounding landscape. The red brick, Victorian-style building is the architectural anchor of the Georgia Institute of Technology Historic District, a landmark of tradition and school spirit, and the present-day administrative hub of the Institute. It has been the site of many ceremonies and important events, including a visit by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and its dedication in honor of Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans, "Tech's greatest benefactor."Lighted signs spelling TECH hang on each of the four sides of the seven-story central tower, dominating the building's facade and visible from many parts of the Georgia Tech campus and surrounding area. Georgia Tech students have several times stolen the letter 'T' from one of these signs, a prank once tolerated but now strictly forbidden.
The Carnegie Education Pavilion, more often known as the Carnegie Monument, is a marble beaux-arts monument located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The pavilion was constructed in 1996 from the exterior facade of the Carnegie Library, named after Andrew Carnegie. The monument pays homage to the legacy of Carnegie by serving as a monument to higher education in Atlanta, with the seals of nine local area colleges and universities embedded in the floor of the monument. The monument was commissioned in 1996 by the Corporation for Olympic Development in Atlanta and designed by Henri Jova. The pavilion is located in Downtown's Hardy Ivy Park, at the curve in Peachtree Street where it intersects with Baker Street. The monument's inscription reads: "The Advancement of Learning." It also features the inscriptions of the names of three famous Western poets "Dante", "Milton", and "Asop", in addition to the library's namesake, "Carnegie".The Carnegie LibraryFrom 1899 to 1901, Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate and philanthropist from Pittsburgh, donated $145,000 to construct, furnish, and supply a new public library in Atlanta. A site was chosen at 126 Carnegie Way in downtown Atlanta. The library, built by New York architects Ackerman and Ross, opened in 1902. It was renovated in 1950 and 1966, and remained the central library of the system until it was demolished in 1977 in order to make way for the controversial Marcel Breuer-designed Central Library. The architectural bays of the original structure were preserved and used to create the pavilion twenty years after the building's demolition.

In 1982, Coca-Cola acquired the Associated Coca-Cola Bottling Company for $417.5 million. In 1986, Coca-Cola acquired the bottling operations of Beatrice Foods and the bottling operations of the Lupton family. Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. was spun off from The Coca-Cola Company in 1986. The purpose was consolidating the many independent bottling groups in the Coca-Cola System. Previously, independent businesses in small geographic areas, generally a central city or town and its hinterland, bottled Coca-Cola products and distributed these to stores. Coca-Cola headquarters began to buy up these bottlers in 1980 and then spun this function off to anchor bottlers in various parts of the world. Coca-Cola Enterprises continued to acquire regional bottlers throughout the 1990s.

Our “I Have A Dream”® Story “I Have A Dream”® of Atlanta, Inc. – A. D. Williams Chapter was launched in 2001. Our chapter adopted 60 randomly selected 2nd grade children attending A. D. Williams Elementary school. The school was located in the Atlanta Housing Authority’s Bowen Homes Community. (The community has since been razed and the school has closed.) At the time of the initial launch of the A. D. Williams chapter, the elementary school faced the many challenges associated with concentrated poverty. At the time, the principal of the school indicated that without a program like “I Have A Dream”®, less than 10% of these students would graduate from high school. The A. D. Williams Chapter was founded and continues to be supported by a unique collaboration of members of 2 downtown Atlanta churches: Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Our chapter will always work with the same 60 Dreamers for the 12+ year duration of the project.

The Imhotep Architectural Youth Society (I.A.Y.S.) is an organization made for Urban youths of the United States of America. I.A.Y.S. INC. is a youth society that uses the career of Architecture to teach Urban American youth self-esteem and character development. I.A.Y.S. has a high level of expectation of its member. I.A.Y.S. INC. is divided into four stages, seven years total. Through special graduation ceremonies at each stage each member/youth will learn more about the field of Architecture and life lessons with a higher level of expectancy and discipline. In addition, each stage is two years long except for the final stage which is one year. At the end of each year each member/youth will have to complete an end of the year project and at the end of each stage is one of the graduation/transition ceremonies. These ceremonies summarizes and symbolizes the lessons of that particular stage. The final stage is inclusive of an annual trip to Egypt. Each member/youth will learn and internalize the lessons, ideals and values of I.A.Y.S. INC. as they move through each stage. As apart of the mentoring rites each student will complete in order to satisfy the program, they are obligated to partake in a special community development program that provides housing for needy families in their communities. The knowledge gained from Imhotep Architectural Youth Society INC. is an accumulative process. Thus, I.A.Y.S. INC. will primarily except eleven and twelve year old youths and track them for seven years through the four stages of the I.A.Y.S. process. I.A.Y.S. will except Urban youths at almost any grade point average, but by the end of their first year they must be on the honor roll at their particular school to maintain membership of I.A.Y.S. INC. Upon completion of the I.A.Y.S. INC. process each member/youth will have developed healthy and productive positive character with the skill and knowledge of Architecture that will allow them the ability to actually work in an Architectural firm with no additional training. With this level of accomplishment each member/youth will be equipped with true leadership skills and the knowledge base to meet the day to day life challenges that face young African-Americans and Urban Youth in general today.
