Hi Joe,
There are not any "real ballrooms"
in Atlanta.....
However about the closest you will find to a real ballroom in
Georgia
is:
Knights of Columbus on Buford Hwy.
Or
Shriners on Ponce De Leon downtown.....here's another list for
you.....hope
it can help...
Be sure to call first---especially on thre bars, etc. they
are
always closing as you probably already know.
I'm sorry I could not call this afternoon, but will try you on
Sat....or
if you don't work Sat. I will get you on Monday........kathryn
