Where can you find dogs dressed in costume, community favorite Route 66 playing at a sidewalk art show and then 24 hours later everything magically switched to ‘It’s looking a lot like Christmas’? Downtown Opelika of course! Hopefully by now you have decided what your ‘best friend’ will be dressed as next Monday night as… Read More
I thought I’d make the call to the city this morning after finding the “Orange Tag” on my trash can on the street. It seems that complaints from the Baptist Church about some cans being left out on the street all the time prompted the move by the city. But instead of just tagging the offenders, they got us all on South 8th Street. So, for those of us that take the can out late… Read More

Tim Brantley is back at Eighth & Rail on Friday Night. No music on Saturday, as Auburn’s got another night game. “When describing Brantley’s blend of piano and acoustic rock, adjectives like familiar, comforting and honest immediately come to mind. The overall sound resembles a Pete Yorn-meets-Keane sort of style. The music blends subtle hints of pop with Brit-rock stylings of bands like Coldplay and Travis. The vocals are a bit rootsy and completely natural… Read More
