ATHENS — On a May afternoon, Georgia Square Mall, once this city’s shopping and social hub, is nearly silent. Metal gates shutter most storefronts along a dim corridor.

On a May afternoon, Georgia Square Mall, once an Athens shopping and social hub, is nearly silent. On the second floor, though, is a sudden burst of life. Dozens of teenagers are gathered for something the aging mall once pulsed with: opportunity. https://t.co/2jPtE17UZt
