40 YEARS AGO: It was reported that an opinion poll in the city of Modesto decided on the city-owned Lincoln School site, a then-vacant five-acres of land at 17th and I streets, for a proposed community center. There were two other choices in the poll that citizens could have made: the Sears store at 10th and K streets and the Merry Garden area that was along Sixth Street facing the freeway.
