Flashback Photos: More 1981, 40 years ago in Georgia, Part Two
Broad Street was about to get a makeover and the Southern Bell building made it's debut. Steve Bartkowski was with the Falcons and Dominque Wilkins was at UGA. And the AJC profiled the Braves' No. 1 fan, Pearl Sandow, who was in her early 80s at the time. Take a look back at 1981 in Georgia, and then check out the first part of our series of photos from 1981, too.
