Become part of the solution
I have a small army, and I mean small, helping with the effort of keeping Auburn free of litter, graffiti and such items as dirty diapers behind Festival Plaza, human feces under the Longley Bridge, used condoms at Bonney Park, a marital sex aid across from the art wall on Main Street and a hypodermic […]
