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.
