Right now the walls are white, but pretty soon this viaduct at the end of South Kickapoo Street in Lincoln will become an artist's canvas. The "Street Art" students from the Lincoln Park District will begin this Saturday with a painting project that will add interest and color to the bland walls.

The Rev. Richard Reinwald watches as the crew from Patrick Lee Trucking and J&J Contractors work on the parking lot of St. John United Church of Christ. After the church installed its new thermal heating and cooling system under the parking lot, crews have had to wait for the ground to settle before restoring the surface.  The next step will be all-new concrete.

This is a July 5, 2006, file photo of the iconic clock tower of Britain's Parliament, in London. The tower --  better known, though incorrectly, as Big Ben -- is being renamed in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, authorities said Tuesday.

One of Britain's most recognizable landmarks, the 315-foot- (96-meter) high structure will now formally be known as Elizabeth Tower, following a campaign by lawmakers to mark the monarch's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
