Flashback photos: 25 years ago, Georgia and Atlanta in 1993

Pedestrian bridges and a pond dotted with golden frogs at the Rio Shopping Center, looking west toward Midtown on September 12, 1993.

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.
