ttownfeen, last week you requested "pictures from the actual city of Auburn outside of the campus area." I've been searching
online the last few days, but it's hard to find any photos that aren't of the university or the downtown area (which has
already been featured earlier in this thread). I did find a few photos to fulfill your request, but mostly of the
neighboring city of Opelika.
However, I did find some awesome (make that AUsome...LOL) aerials of Auburn (and a few of Opelika), some of which show how
the university relates to the surrounding city.
These first two aerials were shot from above the wooded residential areas north of the university and downtown looking south.
Downtown Auburn lies beyond the left edge of these photos, and in the first photo, the commercial corridor along South
College Street at I-85 is visible in the distance:

Here is an aerial view of Village Mall (anchored by Belk, Dillard's, JCPenney, and Sears) which is located on Opelika Road
(US 29) about 2 miles east-northeast of Downtown Auburn and Auburn University (visible in the distance on the left).
Downtown Opelika is located about 4 miles in the opposite direction.

This is the old train depot on the north side of Downtown Auburn. It has been used by various businesses over the years
(not sure what it's being used for now). It was here in 1896 that some mischevious Auburn students gathered to grease the
tracks prior to the arrival of a train carrying the Georgia Tech football team. That train slid 5 miles past Auburn before
coming to a stop, and the team had to walk all the way back that night which probably contributed to their 45-0 loss to
Auburn the next day.
