Movies Under the Stars at Mall of Georgia
The 2012 edition of this annual series continues. A new band takes the stage weekly, and a movie follows at dusk when organizers project a popular title on a massive, portable screen.

The band Foxes and Fossils kicks off the festivities. The series continues throughout the rest of July with "Glee: The Concert Movie" (July 21) and "Soul Surfer" (July 28).

Lawrenceville Ghost Tours at Aurora Theatre
Since Lawrenceville is one of the oldest cities in metro Atlanta, spooky history is plentiful. And these professional storytellers are ready to dish the paranormal dirt.
