A closer look at what Julio Jones’ Mall of Georgia project will offer
By now, surely you've heard that Julio Jones, the Atlanta Falcons' superstar wide receiver, is a principal investor in a massive mixed-use project planned next door to the Mall of Georgia.
And you probably saw that earlier this week, Jones announced the name of the $200 million project: "Ariston," which is Greek for "the best."
