Lincoln's Night On The Town

A mural of Honest Abe cruising in a vintage 1937 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe adds a lighthearted touch to the west-facing, exterior brick wall of the Lincoln Theatre in downtown Raleigh NC. A movie house for black Americans in the 1940s, the theater closed its doors to movie goers in 1975. After years of neglect with several temporary occupancies followed by renovations, the Lincoln Theatre reopened as a well-known Raleigh music venue in the early 2000s.
