Union Station was a shopping mall in Union City, Georgia, in southwest Metro Atlanta adjacent to Interstate 85. Originally Shannon Mall, it opened in 1980 and initially thrived until the 1990s when growth in neighboring cities drew shoppers away from the mall. In 1987, it was renamed Shannon Southpark Mall, but the name was changed back to Shannon Mall in 1999. After new ownership and renovations in 2006, the name was changed to Union Station Mall. After many years of decline, the mall closed in November 2010, and demolition began in late October 2014 to make way for Atlanta Metro Studios, a film and television studio.
