Strolling about the 330 acres of Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia is like stepping back in time.
Or into the future.
With more than 200 acres of green space and a prime location minutes from the airport and downtown, the studio complex has been attracting a wide range of projects.
And it's not just a venue for movies and TV series.
MSNBC and The Washington Post will host the fifth Democratic presidential debate at Tyler Perry Studios tonight.
More on the studios: Steve Mensch, president and general manager of studio operations, recently gave CNN a behind-the-scenes tour of what formerly was the Fort McPherson army base.
"The history on this property is immense. Founded in 1885, we have 40 buildings on the national register, we've built a dozen state of the art sound stages," Mensch said. "We've got a dozen practical shooting locations. So what Tyler has built here is the only major motion picture studio on the East coast."
Old meets new in the historic district where the post commander's house — built in 1889 — maintains its original craftsmanship. It now serves as the home of the character Brian Simmons (played by Perry), who has appeared in multiple Perry productions.
It's a house where former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt once stayed and now retired general Colin Powell lived while commander.
