							Spring 
							is an exciting time of year. As temperatures warm 
							up, people start getting out and getting on those 
							big outdoor projects. This week LDN caught shots of 
							concrete being poured at the soon to be Lincoln 
							Grand 8 Theater. While work has gone on at the site 
							throughout the winter, pouring of concrete is one of 
							those tasks that is temperature sensitive. So, yay 
							for spring!
