No longer horse farms.  I believe there are only 4-5 left.  Every little bit of space is being built on or turned into these miniature neighborhoods of 4-5 houses.  I liked it better when there were more trees.  But I will say it is a really nice area to live in.  The commute is no fun though.

Ah yes.... Exactly.

Growing up, GC was literally country.  Each downtown area was like an idyllic Hallmark town.

It grew SO fast...

Interesting to see how old everyone is.  This place is 1 step away from an old folks home.  Heck and I thought I was one of the old guys.

That's why you have people like me in their 20's to keep up the sex-appeal of the forum.    Bringin sexy back!

My thoughts exactly. Everyone here stays geeked up on Centrum Silver and Ensure- explains so much.

One of the biggest regrets I have from my time at Auburn is not doing the Rural Studio while Sambo was there. I did TA during Summer Option in '98 and '99 (I think... may have been in an unofficial capacity).

I'll hit you up on Facebook or IG.  I've been trying to make more of an effort to get connected to the school and alumni.
