So to make amends, I'm unofficially inviting LP residents to participate in the Lincoln Elementary food drive. For a couple of years, Lincoln Elem PTA has been distributing food baskets to needy Lincoln families. It's a great opportunity to help a needy family in your community (you probably see them at Stater Bros). Both food and cash are being collected, but call the school first (909-397-4624). Let them know you are from the Lincoln Park neighborhood and want to contribute. You may have to be insistent. Come on LP, isn't this opportunity one of the reasons we chose Pomona.<BR/><BR/>Meg, sorry for the hijack, but the segue was just too easy--offer an act of humility to counter any excess LP pride (materialism).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-91487135837938396912007-11-13T20:21:00.000-08:002007-11-13T20:21:00.000-08:00Good points, both of you.But, Ed, to really live u...Good points, both of you.<BR/><BR/>But, Ed, to really live up to the biblical conception of capital-P Pride, I would think that across Garey, on "our" side of the street, there should be an impeccably-restored 1905 mansion, recently profiled in *American Bungalow* or the like.meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246635448907995188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-25705433505300107682007-11-13T11:30:00.000-08:002007-11-13T11:30:00.000-08:00Not too belittle such a fine tax-paying establishm...Not too belittle such a fine tax-paying establishment, but I would expect the Auto Lodge has its share of wrath, envy, and pride (maybe sequentially) showing up in at least one of the rooms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-34456357064714712302007-11-11T15:22:00.000-08:002007-11-11T15:22:00.000-08:00Perhaps the extra insurance premiums the gas stati...Perhaps the extra insurance premiums the gas station owners must pay for operating a business off that corner mean higher tank prices? <BR/><BR/>I always thought the deserted gas station kiddy corner to the soon-to-be-deserted-one you speak of would make a great LIncoln Park Dog Park. Some Asian American guy actually comes and sweeps the area around the old gas pumps from time to time, and trims the one bush.
