Toomer's Corner

As I have been driving through certain parts of Auburn over the past couple of days, some sites are already evoking feelings of nostalgia...  Crossing over the intersection of Magnolia and College today, I looked out at the Oaks on Toomer's Corner and had a sinking feeling as their imminent fate was even more so apparent.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this corner's 130 year tradition or of the recent drama surrounding it, but this place has been the epicenter of celebration for decades and as evidence by the blockades guarding the base of the old oaks and the sickly branches stemming from the trunk, it's future looks grim.  (Although, I did just receive an email from the University stating that they will allow for individuals to "roll" Toomer's Corner after football victories this season.  Yay!)

Some of my best Auburn memories were made at this site.  (sigh).
