Lincoln Acres Elementary School - Lincoln Acres

Raising Children in Lincoln Acres

Welcome to my Lincoln Acres page,

Built with love and humor. Lincoln Acres is not a place anyone would intentionally travel to. It is a poor community southeast of National City, CA., but since VT has made the offer, I'll share it with you.

The only "accommodations" here are houses or apartments to buy or rent by the month, no hotels, no motels, no campgrounds to lay your weary head.

I lived in Lincoln Acres from the time my youngest son was born until he turned thirteen. The rent was exceptionally low and as a single parent, it was a way for me to save money. The picture above is of the elementary school they attended for a year or two until I was able to place them in a private school. (That was over thirty-five years ago!)

Lincoln Acres was a quiet place to live, almost like being in the country, it hasn't changed much since then either.

I Hope You Enjoy Your Visit,
Linda
