Hickory Dickory Park in Auburn, ALAbout Hickory Dickory ParkHickory Dickory Park is “a unique playground experience for children,” according to the Auburn Community Profile. This 12,000 square foot park located at 1399 Hickory Ln is composed of a play space, picnic area, and restrooms facilities.  The park is not available for reservations for functions or parties. I was blessed enough to participate in building it with other volunteers and I have so many great memories of the experience. When my daughter was younger we spent many hours enjoying this absolutely fabulous playground. It was definitely a happy spot for us and we have so many great memories from this lovely park.

In a significant shift within the real estate industry, data from the National Association of Realtors reveals a notable exodus of professionals in the first half of 2023. More than 60,000 real estate agents have exited the profession during this period, reflecting a substantial departure from the field. As of April 2023, the total number of real estate agents stood at approximately 1.537 million, marking a discernible decline from the pinnacle reached in October 2022, when the industry boasted an all-time high of 1.6 million practitioners.
