Just a quick note about how to find the Portfolio Center. Take Peachtree to Bennett street (the street sign says Peachtree Park) and turn west onto Bennett street (it looks like turning into a parking lot).

The Portfolio Center is all the way at the end of the street (just keep going). You will pass all the antique dealers and look for the Portfolio Center on the right side. Once you are inside look for the door on the left and come on in!
