Little 5 PointsLittle 5 points has it all, food, entertainment, shopping, you name it.

“It's a business community, a neighborhood, and inarguably the coolest spot on the map between Greenwich Village and the French Quarter.”

- www.l5p.com “From a bohemian hangout with a cheap poolroom, our neighborhood has grown into a rich mix of art, theater, and commerce. It's a tasty tossed salad embracing every lifestyle imaginable from Rasta to Gothic, and we welcome you.” - www.l5p.com

Little 5 Points“Junkman's Daughter is probably the best known store in Atlanta's quirky Little Five Points neighborhood. It's colorfully painted facade is certainly hard to miss from the street. Inside, you can find all sorts of fun stuff, from vintage clothing to kitschy trinkets and gag gifts.” - http://atlanta.about.com/library/bllil5p4.htm

The FoxTo build The Fox Theatre today would cost more than $300 million.

The theatre's enormous Bedouin canopy overhang is really a work of plaster and steel rods, and not only serves as ornamentation, but also as an acoustical funnel to project sound to the rear of the house.

The Fox Theatre can seat up to 4,678 patrons.

An estimated 750,000 people visit the Fox Theatre every year.

The Fox Theatre serves more than four and a half tons of popcorn each year.

The FoxThe beguiling sky is in reality a vaulted ceiling, painted ultramarine blue. The twinkling stars are 11-watt bulbs fixed above four-inch crystals. The drifting clouds are produced by a special projector.

The Fox Theatre ballrooms have hosted receptions and special events for visiting ambassadors, noted U.S. politicians and internationally acclaimed people, including Prince Charles himself.

The Fox Theatre spends approximately $40,000 a month on power.

The Fox Theatre was one of the earliest air conditioned buildings in the country, even preceding the White House.
