Lincoln Park Perry, Matt, Liam and I got the amazing opportunity to visit Lincoln Park. No need to hide 'yo kids or hide 'yo wives, because Lincoln Park is actually a beautiful neighborhood! What really stood out to me was the unique Victorian architecture on most of the buildings. When we got there, it was without a doubt coffee time! We walked a good half mile to the closest Dunkin Donuts. It wasn't until we got there that everyone else admitted they didn't want coffee, so needless to say I felt bad for making them walk so far. But it was not a trip wasted, most of the non-residential area is around Armitage Ave. My favorite part of the trip would have to be the zoo! It's hard to capture the entire feel of the community because it all feels so different. After learning that part of Lincoln Park was built on a cemetery, I thought it would be hard to convince myself it's not haunted, but definitely think I would return considering there are ample stores and quaint restaurants.
