Statesboro Mall in Statesboro, GA grew around Belk, raised its ceilings, and lost JCPenney. What's left now?

Belk moves to U.S. 80, and one bank blocks another. Belk had run its Statesboro store downtown since 1950. In 1970 the department store moved out to Northside Drive East, the local stretch of U.S. 80, on a site reached from Brannen Street and Lovett Road, and it was open there before the rest of the project was finished.

Tis the season! Georgia Southern PAC announces 2026 holiday performance lineup

The Georgia Southern University Performing Arts Center (PAC) is kicking off the holiday season later this month with family-friendly events that last through the days leading up to Christmas.

"The reception to last year’s, ‘I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas’ was so positive that we chose to book two holiday shows this year, ‘Frosty: A Musical Adventure’ and ‘Jim Curry presents John Denver’s A Rocky Mountain Christmas’.” The first show, Frosty: A Musical Adventure, is based on the iconic Christmas song “Frosty the Snowman.” A young orphan named Billy discovers magic in a stolen hat, and when he places it on a snowman’s head, that snowman comes to life! Can Frosty help Billy find his real family in time for Christmas? Join them in a thrilling quest through New York City as they discover that the real magic of the season is love.
