While researching the book, Connie was surprised at the number of music and entertainment events available in Auburn and Opelika. Along with the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center, the Opelika Center for the Performing Arts and Telfair B. Peet Theater, there is also the Auburn Area Community Theater and the Summer Swing Concert Series. The area also has two museums and numerous festivals, including Syrup-Soppin’ Day, Auburn CityFest and Oktoberfest, among others. Information on numerous restaurants in Lee County are written about in the book. “I have thoroughly enjoyed telling people about Auburn’s blossoming foodie scene,” says Connie. “In this area of the state, you can get dishes ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime. At Sheila C’s Burger Barn, you’ll get a drippy, homemade-type burgers with fresh fixins’ that require a stack of napkins, while at 1856, you will be served a seven-course, chef-prepared tasting menu for dinner with a gleaming table setting and impeccable service. “Plus, there are other restaurants on both ends of the spectrum and many in-between, including the quirky, but delicious offerings at The Irritable Bao.” In the section on sports and recreation, Connie writes about the zipline across the Alabama/Georgia state line. At the Blue Heron Adventure Park, adventure enthusiasts can zipline for 1,200 feet across the Chattahoochee River. Other recreational areas in the book include Kreher Preserve and Nature Center, Auburn Escape Zones, Chewacla State Park, the Pickleball Facility, Lee County Public Fishing Lake and Yarbrough Tennis Center, among others. Other sections in the 146-page book are culture and history, shopping and fashion and activities by season. In each section, tips are listed such as, “Speaking of seafood at the Depot, Auburn University’s School of Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatics is one of the best in the world. Schedule tours of the E.W. Shell Fisheries Center by contacting David Cline at clinedj@ auburn.edu.” The book would be especially helpful to newcomers to the area, providing 100 ideas to explore. For a signed copy of the book, go to ThereGoesConnie.com/shop. Otherwise, the book is available on Amazon. The author has scheduled several book signings in the area.
