I'm sorry, but it's fall. You know it, I know it, the leaves certainly know it. And that morning dew? It's a dead giveaway. Don't be distracted by the random 80-degree day here or there -- it's happening whether you like it or not. But that's OK, cause City of Auburn offers a variety of fall fun, like the type your kids are having at our fall camps run by Parks, Arts and Recreation coordinator Ashley Gain. She joins Jonathan and Angee to talk camps, Tom Petty's relationship to her grandma, if the kids really are alright, and tries her hand at camp movie trivia (hint: they slayed).

Chester and Jonathan are joined by Parks intern Jackson Conner to chat about summer camps, transporting kids to Leavenworth, how to improve your golf game, life after internships, and how, well, wouldn't you know it, all the leaves are falling (and the sky is gray). Which brings up the perfect trivia topic: does Jonathan like this fall past time? (hint: yes, probably).

Well, it's happening, and it's time. The Auburn Avenue Theater is finally being demolished. It'll be a few weeks until the actual building itself starts to come down, but starting in early September, crews will begin clearing debris and materials before the inevitable. Chester and Jonathan are joined again by Angee Pogosian (who will co-chair in Chester's absence, bon voyage!) to chat the theater, downtown parking signage changes, some museum events, and Gen Alpha/Gen Z slang (they're both terrible at it).

Chester and Jonathan are joined AGAIN by Angee Pogosian! She's been busy on City of Auburn socials sharing some insights into local businesses, black-owned businesses, Farmer's Market vendors, and recording videos at Auburn's many summer events. She'll also be co-chairing the podcast while Chester is on vacation for a month :( it's OK -- we forgive him.

Jonathan and Chester are joined once again by the Office of Equity's Maddie Ralstin! And why? Because National Night Out is right around the corner -- that's right, on Tuesday, Aug. 6, from about 5-9 p.m., Auburn elected officials, staff, police and Mayor Nancy Backus will be out and about in the community! We're talking to residents face to face, sharing updates on what our city is up to, and fielding all sorts of questions. Don't have a neighborhood event to attend? Come to City Hall Plaza! We'll see ya Tuesday.

It's warm, it's hot, it's summer, it's time to start racing! The NHRA nationals are this weekend and what better way to celebrate than watch them in person next to your bestest buds. Speaking of friends, Chester and Jonathan are joined by #NextStepAuburn intern Angee Pogosian, who began in June working in the communications/multimedia department. For several weeks she's been sculpting and molding City of Auburn socials to be incredibly fun and engaging. How'd she do in racing trivia? Well, guess you gotta listen.

Chester and Jonathan are joined by Rachael McAlister, the White River Valley Museum's Director, to chat about the newest exhibit, Dancing with Our Ancestors, which runs from now until October 13. Dance, food, taiko drums, and remembering those who have passed makes Bon Odori a beloved celebration in Japan and across the U.S. Learn more about the traditions of Bon Odori right here in Auburn.  The trio also talks about the latest wave of COVID (and how Shadow of the Erd Tree dropped at the exact right time), how the Mariners always seem to lose when you see them in person, the Bear season 3, and how they finish strong with some museum trivia! See if you can beat a museum director in her own domain.

Chester and Jonathan are joined by the City of Auburn's Parks, Arts and Recreation Social Media Manager Andrea Alvarez, who has a hand in crafting pretty much all of the social media you see on the Parks side. Not the City side, that's still Jonathan, unfortunately, and he's really sorry about that. The trio talk upcoming events (hello Kids Day, 4th of July Fest, Farmers Markets and more), the meaning of life, the impending doom of AI and technology ethics, and finish strong with some kid-centric trivia. If you can't guess the real-life name of the Trix bunny, well, you may wanna start seeing a chiropractor.

Chester and Jonathan are joined again by the Office of Equity's Maddie Ralstin to talk -- you guessed it -- Juneteenth! The City of Auburn is planning an exciting, fun, awesomely sick event at Les Gove Park Sunday, June 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. And don't forget about Pride at the Farmer's Market this Sunday, June 9, same place and same time. And while you're at it, maybe like share and subscribe and share with your friends and family and then go out and eat cookies and candies and cakes and junk and stuff.

What else would the Chester and Jonathan boys be talking about but the AUBURN FARMER'S MARKET?!?!? It's right around the corner, which means fresh garlic, sharpened knives, delicious food truck food, and a Pride! celebration June 9. So much fun, so little time. Also, honestly, for like the first 10 minutes they talk about the aurora borealis and what it means to be an uncle? Riffing this fresh, you'd think we have a farmer's market booth ourselves.

Chester and Jonathan talk about Petpalooza! The most fun you and your dog can have on a Saturday, probably. Plus, White River Amphitheatre concert schedule is in full swing. And if you can guess these dog barks, well, maybe seek help.

Join Chester Boyd and Jonathan Glover as they talk about Auburn's Clean Sweep, which was just last weekend, plus the Comprehensive Transporation Plan, water system flushing, and Taylor Swift's new album.

Chester and Jonathan are joined by the Office of Equity's Madeline (Maddie) Ralstin to talk equity work citywide. Maddie works closely with several departments across the city to help plan the annual Juneteenth event, which is ushering in its third year at Les Gove Park. Plus, Pride at the Market in June and more!  Oh, and because it's officially baseball season, see if you can guess who's singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Jonathan may have accidentally made it way too difficult.

Chester and Jonathan are joined by empty space to discuss the Auburn Food Bank's big move to their new building! It's a massive, wonderful, bright and cheerful space full of so much potential and food. The duo also talk warm weather, March Madness, Peter Cotton Trail, and goings on at the Postmark Center for the Arts.

Chester and Jonathan are joined by City of Auburn Special Events Coordinator Amanda Valdez to talk about all the amazing events coming up this spring, including Peter Cotton Trail later this month, Clean Sweep the following, and Petpalooza in May! And of course, they can't NOT talk about Dune 2 and State of the City, two equally important cultural milestones for Auburn area residents. To celebrate everyone's favorite day, the start of daylight saving time, they finish strong by guessing song names and artists who wrote about time.

Chester and Jonathan are joined by Auburn's Bridget Jones, one of the pastors of Messiah Lutheran Church at 4th and H Street. The trio talks about Civics Academy, what brought Bridget to Auburn, State of the City, and Dune Part 2 (HYPE).

Chester and Jonathan sit down with newly crowned Miss Auburn Maddy Lindsay to talk about her journey to now, the hardships she faced along the way, and how she's doing to spread volunteerism city wide!  The trio also discuss the Super Bowl, Santana (and Rob Thomas) and then try and guess singers of the national anthem (hint: Maddy is pretty good!).

Jonathan Glover and Chester Boyd are joined by City of Auburn Senior Planner Josh Steiner to talk long range planning, the City's giant, complex Comprehensive Plan, baseball, music and more! Find out why the Comprehensive Plan is so important and how that process is carefully constructed to involve as much public input as possible. Have an idea or suggestion? Let our planners know: planning@auburnwa.gov

Chester and Jonathan return for the first 2024 episode of Auburn on Main! The boys catch up, go over what's new since last year (three new council members, a smattering of events at Postmark), and finish strong with a sound that's been stuck in our heads all week.

The boys sit down with City of Auburn Neighborhood Programs Coordinator Chris Lovings to talk all the ways the City of Auburn works to get residents connected with, well, residents. And not just each other, services and programs that help enrich and enhance the experience of living in the Auburn valley. We delve deep into the community fund, civics academy, national night out, and more! Stick around till the end to see if Chris can successfully guess a scene from a famous sports movie that's confusingly in the public spotlight.
