This picture postcard from Leigh Henson's Finding Lincoln, Illinois website shows the Lincoln train depot as it looked in 1911. The structure has undergone several transformations over the years, but it will soon be returned to its original state.  Rumors that the city of Lincoln will demolish the building once it owns the property are incorrect. Last week Mayor Keith Snyder said the city is anxious to return the beautiful building to its original state. Read about the interview with Snyder and view more photos in the story and album below.

This lovely orchid was just one of the many gorgeous and informative displays featured Saturday at the Russel Allen Garden Day. The morning-long event hosted by the Logan County Master Gardeners is the go-to place to find people who are knowledgeable in all types of gardening. If you've never gone, put a sticker on your day planner for next March and make a point of attending. There is bound to be something there you will enjoy. In the meantime, be sure to enjoy the eight photo albums from this year's event in the Community section below.

LDN Magazine Rack A collection of LDN's finest periodical projects

The photo on the left was taken Thursday and the one on the right was taken Saturday. It's amazing the amount of damage a few warm days can do. The right side of our pile, which was always the smallest, is almost gone! The left side has been reduced a great deal but is still there. Maybe this week we will say bye-bye, snow pile!

Railer Max Cook sinks a free throw at the beginning of the second half Friday night in the game against Champaign Central. The Railers have advanced to the supersectional and will play Tuesday evening in Springfield at the Prairie Capital Convention Center. Tickets for that game are on sale now at the high school.  Don't miss this opportunity to go out and cheer them on. This is a great team, and they have earned our respect and deserve our support.
