The City of Auburn has published two new press releases online:

Update on Magnolia Avenue – Donahue Drive Improvements

New Crossing Signals at Gay Street – Magnolia Avenue Intersection

Please direct questions regarding specific press releases to the individual contact listed within each press release.

Brand X Pizza is closed after 20 years (according to sign on window). If you went to Auburn anytime during the past 20 years you will understand that this is an auburn institution that is closing its doors. Apparently it is due to the owners retiring but the economy and stiff new pizza competition probably didn’t help matters either.

If anyone has a pic of the sign or more info please let us know.
