Today I found myself in downtown Lincoln, pretending to help with the local Rotary group's Lincoln Wine Fest, but actually just enjoying the sunshine, going for a wander, and sampling local food and wine. I took a few pictures to share.
When I was in college, I used to drive through Lincoln all the time when going back and forth between Folsom (my hometown) and Chico (my college town). In the late 90s, Lincoln was a little depressed and feeling abandoned, but the mid-naughts boom in real estate (including where my parents currently live) has brought it back and our downtown is doing quite well. It's not huge, but there are some great restaurants and businesses and it has its own unique flavor. I'm glad it's no longer a lonely place.

Gotta love that despite our fancy restaurants and Wine Fests, we also still have a competition on ammo. |
