A while back, Karen Hargis caught up with Noah Atkinson at Hallie's. He was applying some new signs to the front windows of one of Lincoln's favorite eateries. Meanwhile, right next door, construction continues at By the Bean, a soon-to-be specialty coffee shop that is owned by David Lanterman and is a companion business to Beans & Such, which is next door on the other side.

Don't let a sore back, bad knees or lousy soil stop you from gardening. Elevate your garden for easier access and better gardening results. Raised gardens can be both functional and beautiful while cutting out some of the physical stress of gardening. Check out tips from Melinda Myers in the Food, Family and Fun section below.
