DEVELOPING: Toomer's Oaks To Be Removed After A-Day

The Tree Preservation Society at Auburn University now sees no opportunity for the oaks at Toomer's Corner (pictured right, thanks Auburn University) to survive...

While no date for their removal has been set, the school is going to celebrate their treasure one more time in the spring...

Circle April 20 on your calendars for A-Day and the subsequent celebration...

"The Oaks at Toomer’s Corner have been a part of Auburn tradition for generations,” said FOSG Debbie Shaw, Auburn University vice president for alumni affairs and executive director of the Auburn Alumni Association in the standard release. “Their removal will in no way diminish the Auburn Spirit, which has grown even stronger during these past two years.”

And, then, the new ideas are coming forward to see how Auburn fans and supporters will be able to do their school spirit-rolling after the oaks are gone. The university and city of Auburn will create structures at Toomer's Corner for rolling...

"The architects are combining their expertise and experience with the terrific input from the Auburn Family to come up with a future plan that we will all be proud of,” said Dan King, assistant vice president for Auburn University Facilities Management.

“We want people to be upbeat about the future of this area,” Shaw said. “Rolling the corner is a uniquely Auburn tradition, and whether we roll trees or other structures, the camaraderie and sense of togetherness is part of what makes Auburn a special place.”

One final roll on 4:20, huh...???
Nicely done- even if it's not in Colorado...

And, for those of you who are wondering about the legal system in the state of Alabam, the trial of Harvey Updyke is set to start at April 8... and, whaddya wanna bet there's another continuance before hand...???
