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.
