Starting
today, downtown businesses will be back in business in Lincoln.
Shops will start their re-opening process, and shoppers will be
asked to respect state guidelines such as wearing masks and
observing social distancing.
Also, starting today, local restaurants will be able to offer
streetside dining. In the downtown Lincoln area, this means tables
for dining will be placed in parking spots in front of those
businesses.
PLEASE use caution as you
drive around our community. Be aware of street signs that warn of
street usage for dining and respect the barricades that are set up
for the safety of all.

1999 FORMULA ONE - McLaren-Mercedes' Mika Hakkinen leads from
the first corner of the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, ahead
of team mate David Coulthard and the two Ferraris of Eddie
Irvine and Michael Schumacher. Hakkinen started on pole position
and got off to a good start while Irvine, who qualified second
fastest, had a poor start and dropped down to fifth by the
second corner. Defending champion Hakkinen led the
McLaren-Mercedes cars to a one-two finish ahead of Schumacher in
third and the Finn would go on to win the 1999 title, beating
Irvine by just two points. Action Images via REUTERS/Brandon
