Auburn, split by railroad tracks running parallel to U.S. 29/Ga. 8, sits on the edge of Barrow and Gwinnett counties. Its historic downtown area to the north pays homage to its railroad history with a bright, red caboose. Fewer than 8,000 residents currently call Auburn home, but that number will double in less than five years based on the new number of homes being built, according to Mayor Linda Blechinger.

November 2, 2021 Atlanta: C.J. Andrews (right) checks in voters at Park Tavern located at 500 10th Street NE in Atlanta on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021. Normally, a wide-open vote for Atlanta mayor would take center stage in the metro area on Election Day. But low early turnout, a high number of undecided voters, and major competition for attention from Game Six of the World Series could scramble the outcome. Voting began Tuesday morning in elections for Atlanta mayor and city leaders across Georgia as voters hoped for short lines and no problems. Election Day will be closely watched in Fulton County, which covers most of the city of Atlanta. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
