										On 
										Wednesday morning, this young man 
										offered an excellent interpretation of 
										our favorite President and city namesake 
										- Abraham Lincoln. In spite of the heat, 
										he donned his top hat and long black 
										coat and peddled his way out to the 
										Lincoln Park District, where he was 
										rewarded, by winning first place in his 
										parade category.
