A new amphitheater is opening on the site of the former Macon Mall. The 12,000-seat venue is meant to be a lure to the big promoters of touring acts to look to Macon. Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top are set to perform at the new space on March 24.
A portion of a $30,000 grant helped Peach County Schools put a wheelchair basketball team on the court last season, and they experienced immediate success.
