For years,

the perception of the south side of town by north side residents was something

less than desirable.

Well, times

have changed and now it's time to call your friends and invite them to

the Street of Dreams starting this weekend.

Street of Dreams

is a showcase of some of the most fabulous homes in the region and this

year's spring show is at Arbor Springs Plantation in Newnan, just five

miles south of Palmetto.

This is the

first time the show has been south of downtown Atlanta, and officials

are expecting more than 40,000 visitors to gawk at the latest in home

design and furnishings.

The homes start

at $625,000 unfurnished, but range up to nearly $1 million if you want

to buy one all decked out.

The five homes

on the tour offer the latest innovations in home building, with touches

of classic architecture.

One of the

more interesting features at one of the homes, the Weatherby, is the sumptuous

media room. One wall is covered by an enormous screen that you can show

the latest DVD releases on and experience it like a true theater experience.

The sound system, featuring built-in speakers and an enormous sub-woofer,

gives you the feeling of being inside the movie.

All of the

homes feature enormous master suites complete with multiple shower heads

and closets that seem to go on for days.

The homes also

are extensively landscaped and blend into the heavily wooded lots.

Tickets are

$10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and children 4-12, and free for

children under 3.

The show runs

April 28-June 3. Arbor Springs is just off Interstate 85, exit 51, on

Arbor Springs Plantation Drive.

Going south,

take exit 51 and turn right. Go about a mile and it's on the left.
