(26,877 posts)Man, we're a backwater berg in the middle of NY whose biggest claim to fame (before today) was having a freaking PRISON in the middle of it. Well, we're also are the home and burial place of Harriet Tubman Davis as well as William Seward, but few think of that when they think of Auburn.

(297,460 posts)backwater burg in the middle of NY on the Erie Canal. But, I liked it!
Thanks for the historical significance of Auburn, New York.. now including the 44th President sleeping there and working out at the YMCA.
That's too bad Obama didn't have time to stop at the Harriet Tubman Home and Seward House Museum..

Auburn, N.Y. - President Barack Obama boarded his bus and headed out of Auburn this morning without stopping at any of the city's historic properties. Instead, the president made a surprise visit at Tully Central High School.
The president's motorcade headed along Route 20 through Skaneateles, on its way to Binghamton. Obama is due to host a town hall meeting on college affordability at SUNY Binghamton at 12:45 p.m. today.

Obama's only stop this morning in Auburn was at the YMCA, where he did a quick workout before heading back to the Holiday Inn shortly after 9 a.m., according to press pool accounts. His motorcade left the hotel at 9:48 a.m.

Maybe he can invite them to the WH?!
Cooley Hurd
(26,877 posts)...that he actually HUNG OUT here in our little blip-on-the-map! So he didn't go to the Seward and Tubman houses. I live here and I haven't been to either in a couple of decades! I'm sure those who complained had NEVER been to either!

(4,243 posts)I've doubled up on my work outs and I go to the Y twice a day now. I never get the President running or swimming or lifting by me.
Cooley Hurd
(26,877 posts)...here's how you do it. Find out what town Obama will be in (when on the road) and hang out at the Y that morning. Apparently, even though the Holiday Inn had a workout room, he prefers the Y.
LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)As I understand it I can use my Y membership at any YMCA anywhere. If he's anywhere around, rest assured I'll be hanging out there most of the day! Thanks for the tip.

(5,810 posts)a Holiday Inn last night??? That is pretty cool if true. So much for him always going first class and spending so much of OUR money. Get tired of hearing all that crap after all the time that Bush (Shrub) spent out of the White House.

(26,877 posts)...but that's where he crashed last night.

Oh, and "noted".

(86,005 posts)Obama ordered coconut cream, cherry and pecan; he also financed pie for a local lawmaker, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.
"Do you know your senator, Bob Casey" Obama told the employees. "He loves pie."
Obama could be overhead talking with the owner, Dave Scarpetta, about the challenges of running a restaurant.
"It's not as hard as being president," Scarpetta said.
Replied Obama: "The only thing about you is you're not term-limited."
