I Love Where I Live
Auburn, Alabama is the Boujee-est Hometown in the South
You might think “boujee” and “small town Alabama” don’t go together—but you haven’t been to Auburn lately. From fine dining and stylish locals to a motorbike-riding dog, let me show you what makes Auburn unapologetically fabulous.

From real estate to local life, I’m always sharing what’s happening in Auburn. Let’s connect so you never miss what’s new around town!
Meet the Motorcycle Dog
You know your town’s a little extra when the coolest local celeb is a dog riding in style on a motorcycle. He and his owner cruise through town turning heads—and it’s just one of those quirky, lovable details that make Auburn unforgettable.
Strike a Pose with Aubie
Auburn’s boujee side extends to game day too. Our mascot, Aubie the Tiger, is basically a celebrity around here—and he knows it. Whether you’re tailgating or out on the town, he’s ready to pose for pics and give you the full glam experience.
Sips at Sessions
Sessions isn’t your average bar. It’s an exclusive cocktail lounge where you need a reservation just to walk in. With moody lighting, upscale vibes, and cocktails crafted for sipping—not slamming—it’s the go-to for anyone who appreciates a refined night out.
The Height of Fine Dining at 1856
If you really want to splurge, book a table at 1856. It’s not just dinner—it’s an experience. Between the beautifully plated courses and the impeccable service, it’s no surprise you’ll leave with a bill north of $400… and a big smile.
