For many, the image of Lincoln Heights is irrevocably tied to the shopping center that shares its namesake. When Trader Joe's opened its doors there in 2011, its adjoining businesses were given facelifts.

Today, Lincoln Heights Village bustles with busy shoppers, some eager to munch on classic burgers at Hogan's, others looking for canine supplies at mainstay Petco. But there's more to Lincoln Heights than just its signature, titular shopping village. The neighborhood has other sights to see, places to go, and stranger stories to tell. - The Inlander
