[Lincolnparkdc] Lincoln Park's Lincoln statue

[Jeni Schoemaker]

Thank you for sending the link. It think it explains things very well. I remember being very upset when I first moved here and saw the statue. My daughter was 3 or 4 when she started asking questions about it. It prompted me to do research into and gain a better understanding of the purpose of it.

We need to be aware that issues might arise with our Lincoln statue, which so many of us love.  Mimi Wolf

PM if you’d like to take some, preferably all. We’ve pulled out a few, but there’s more to pry up (it’s not hard-screwdriver and a little muscle). I’m hoping to keep it out of a landfill.
