Here we are, back to Monday. Even though the first day back to work can be a little rough, today is the official first day of summer. So take a little break and enjoy Monday a little more than usual with "A Moment In Time," a new Lincoln Now piece about John Ellison and his 1937 Lincoln K Judkins.

"Imagine living in a miniature city-within-a-city built into what was formerly a giant gas tank from the turn of the 19th century. Situated just a stone’s throw away from the historic fountains and monuments of central Vienna are four massive, oddly-shaped brick buildings that thousands of Viennese call home. "

"It’s a neighborhood staple that counts former presidents as frequent diners. But locals are still very much at the heart of the business....'The locals love us. It starts with the locals. We serve locals all spring, then July hits [and] we get very busy with both (locals and visitors),' Steve says."

Everyone deserve an equal opportunity to pursue their dreams. This is the premise of Nina Shaw's career. Shaw is an entertainment attorney in Hollywood and the subject of a recent Lincoln Now article. In it, she discusses her philosophy and the current state of media.

Brett Bishop is an oyster farmer. Yes, an oyster farmer. He's the fifth generation of his family to run Little Skookum Shellfish Growers in Puget Sound. And in spite of the occasional very late nights bordering on early morning, he wouldn't have it any other way.

"Now that it primarily plays host to a range of concerts and critically acclaimed films, the collective memories handed down through the generations imbue the theatre with a heightened charm that has earned it a reputation as the cultural cornerstone of Skagit County."

Winter seems to have finally subsided, and if you're like us you're probably more than ready to get outside and have some adventures. Jeff Manwaring of Park City, Utah can help with that. His outdoor adventure company, Exclusive Excursions, provides the best that his hospitality background and the beautiful area have to offer. A recent Lincoln Now piece has more info.

"Tourists flock to the area in the warmer months, seeking an escape from the heat, and winter brings crowds of mountain sports enthusiasts chasing world-class powder. The possibilities for creating memorable experiences are endless, so while the tried-and-tested hospitality industry held its appeal for Jeff, he felt he could offer guests of the local resorts something off the beaten path. The concierge community agreed."

If you like music, you'll love yesterday's addition to the Lincoln Now website. "Sharing The Beat" relates the story of singer-songwriter Jazmine Sullivan. She's had some trial and tribulations in terms of feeling fulfilled by her art, but she always comes back to music because it's in her blood.

"Guests, like so many pioneers before them, will be struck by the beautiful setting of nearly 1,600 acres filled with waterfalls, hot springs, two rivers, and the San Juan Mountains. A 'cabin' may seem like a modest accommodation, but 13 cabins at Dunton are anything but, with features like wood-burning fireplaces, claw-foot bathtubs, rain-forest showers, and heated floors."
