Morrow
Personal Injury Lawyer
Two Interstate 75 exits, a mall campus, a university and two archives sit inside one small Clayton County city.
Morrow is built around two Interstate 75 interchanges. Exit 233 is SR 54 — Jonesboro Road; Exit 231 is Mount Zion Boulevard. SR 54 passes Southlake Mall on its way to that interchange, which puts shopping traffic, freeway traffic and local traffic onto the same stretch of road.
What sits between the two exits
- I-75 Exit 233 — SR 54 / Jonesboro Road
- SR 54 passes Southlake Mall and interchanges with I-75 here.
- I-75 Exit 231 — Mount Zion Boulevard
- The city’s second interstate access point.
- Southlake Mall
- About 1,010,000 square feet. Macy’s has been the only anchor since Sears closed in September 2018.
- Clayton State University
- The university’s main campus is in Morrow.
- The National Archives at Atlanta and the Georgia Archives
- Both are on Jonesboro Road.
A retail campus that has been rebuilt around itself
Southlake Mall runs to roughly 1,010,000 square feet, and Macy’s has been its only anchor since Sears closed in September 2018. The empty boxes did not stay empty. The former Macy’s — originally a Davison’s — became the Morrow Center, and the old Sears became The Arena at Southlake, an events centre run by Clayton County Public Schools.
That history matters in a premises liability claim for an unglamorous reason. When a property changes hands, changes use, or changes the way people walk through it, the question of who was responsible for a particular walkway, stairwell or parking area on a particular date stops being obvious. Establishing who controlled the space is often the first real fight, and it is fought with leases and maintenance records rather than with photographs of the injury.
A city people arrive at from somewhere else
Clayton State University’s main campus is in Morrow, and the National Archives at Atlanta and the Georgia Archives both sit on Jonesboro Road. Those are destinations, not neighbourhoods — students, researchers, staff and visitors coming in from outside the county on a given morning.
If you were hurt in Morrow but live elsewhere, or the driver who hit you does, the county your case belongs in is not automatically Clayton.
