Downtown Athens roads begin reopening after deadly crash

Several roads and sidewalks in downtown Athens reopened Monday, nearly a week after a crash killed a driver and partially collapsed a historic building near the University of Georgia. The November 4 crash damaged the building housing Magnolias Athens and Republic Salon; some closures remain while crews stabilize and repair it. Republic Salon expects to reopen within two weeks, while Magnolias remains closed indefinitely and is raising funds to support rebuilding and employees.
