Who knows where Lincoln was on his way to. Probably someoneâs fireplace or maybe the landfill. The truck carrying him was going a little too fast around the circle in Lincolnton and Lincoln was flung off. Itâs probably a good thing no one was parked in front of Graffiti s Restaurant because Lincoln would have done some damage.
Bobby Farmer, the director of the Immigrant Hospitality Center in Lincolnton was enjoying a cup of coffee in front of Fausto Coffee and witnessed Lincolnâs fall.  The log stayed on the side of the road until someone needed the parking space and put him up on the sidewalk. There he sat, for weeks.Â
The downtown area of Lincolnton is truly a gem. Even in the era of COVID, to take the time to walk around and even just look in the windows that are all decorated for the holidays can bring great joy and itâs free. In a combined effort between the City of Lincolnton, the Downtown Development Association of Lincolnton and the Lincoln County Public Library, window shopping has become even more interesting â especially to children.
Another of the Lincoln County Public Libraryâs wonderful âStoryWalksâ has been installed in downtown Lincolnton.
âIt was the libraryâs idea and we co-sponsored with the City of Lincolnton,â Betty Flohr, the DDAâs executive director said. âWe felt like it was an event that families could get out and do safely with their kids. It gets them to be out and see our downtown merchants. A lot of times people drive through, but they donât walk through.â
