Flashback photos: 25 years ago, Georgia and Atlanta in 1993
The Georgia Dome was brand new, and so was Georgia 400. What you now know as Ponce City Market was City Hall East (having previously been a vacant Sears building). The Big Chicken was damaged and had to be repaired. It snowed and snowed and snowed one day in early March, paralyzing the city. Lucky for Atlanta, it hit here on a Saturday. Let’s take a look back 25 years to an earlier Georgia.

Pedestrian bridges and a pond dotted with golden frogs at the Rio Shopping Center, looking west toward Midtown on September 12, 1993. According to the story at the time, business was picking up there. It wouldn't last, though. The state-of-the-art center (check out the fancy video wall), which opened in 1988 at the corner of Piedmont and North aveneues, was torn down in 2000.
