Must See Ceilings - 2012 Phoenix Flies Mar 9-25

Things are really looking up and so should you. So much to see at Atlanta Preservation Center's Phoenix Flies.


The Ceiling at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. This is where the Downtown Progressive Organ Recital starts on March 18th at 3pm.
