Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre

The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre (God, what a long name) is the main center of cultural events in Marietta, Georgia. When I arrived in Atlanta in 2010, Tom Jones was performing here, and in the same week there was a huge concert featuring the gospel choirs from churches in southern George. The Cobb Energy Perf ... (yeah, you get it) is fantastic, with glass walls, marble columns, and a carpet on the stairs. Ticket prices can range from $12 to $55. I paid $45 for two seats for Cindy Lauper and Dr John. We were sitting on the balcony, but the acoustics were fantastic, so it didn't matter too much.
