South Fulton center to provide free Wi-Fi access for students

Students in South Fulton have a new place to go when they need to access wireless internet for homework and other tasks.

Comcast recently opened its newest “Finish Strong Learning Pod Lift Zone” at Siloam Church International, 3695 Roosevelt Highway. The drop-in center is open from 2:30-7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
