Toomer's Corner

[1] Two landmarks are located on Toomer's Corner, the Bank of Auburn (now a branch of PNC Bank) and Toomer's Drugs Pharmacy, which was the first establishment in the city with a telegraph, and the intersection is patterned in bricks forming the paw print logo of the Auburn Tigers athletic teams (it was formerly painted on regular concrete).

[3] The area's primary source of popularity comes from an Auburn tradition that arose over a century ago and has not ceased over the years in bringing people nearby to the landmark.

In 1962 Auburn fans and students began to celebrate the games by covering the power lines outside of the pharmacy and the trees directly opposite with toilet paper.

They used an inventive method to signal Auburn's victory during away games by throwing ticker tape from their telegraph onto the power lines outside the store.

[6] Five years after the store was sold to Morgan, the Iron Bowl made its first stop in Auburn and was one of the first times Toomer's Corner was covered with endless rolls of toilet paper.

Two months later, on January 27, 2011, the perpetrator called the Paul Finebaum sports radio talk show to confess the actions, which were presumed to have been driven by Alabama's loss the previous week in the Iron Bowl against Auburn in 2010.
