    The meet up location to start the tour will be the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts, it is on the edge the city so it makes a great starting and ending place. This building is a great example of Greek and Roman architecture revival and is where the symphony and off Broadway acts preform. I will also go over my introduction to the tour before this stop.
