The
2021 Year in Review continues in today's edition with a
look back at the Lincoln City Council and the
announcement that a portion of the former Lincoln
Developmental Center will be used as a youth detention
center by the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice.
The State of Illinois owns the property, so the initial
discussion by the DOJJ was for informational purposes
only. Later in the year, though, the DOJJ returned with
a special request for a street closure.
Going into 2022, the request has not yet been granted.

On
Wednesday afternoon, vehicles, with passengers seeking a
free Coronavirus test, were wrapped around the old
KFC/Taco Bell building at 2775 Woodlawn Road in Lincoln.
Traffic flowed steadily through the drive-thru, almost
like when chicken orders were being picked up back in
the day.
According to social media posts, there was a backup on
Wednesday morning due to issues inside the Covid Mobile
Testing unit, but traffic flow returned to normal in the
afternoon.
Citizens who desire a Covid test can go through the
drive-thru and register onsite, or they may choose to
make an appointment ahead of time. Testing appointments
and pre-registration can be made by logging on to
Freecovidcare.com.
The mobile testing unit is at the Taco Bell location
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
