Geography
Lincoln Avenue originally branched off in a northwestern direction from Fair Oaks Avenue near Chestnut Street, but the construction of Interstate 210 caused the road to be shortened by a block. It now begins on Maple Street. The road continues northwest and is the central road in Pasadena's Lincoln-Villa neighborhood. North of Seco Street, Lincoln Avenue straightens out and becomes a major commercial-industrial artery. The road terminates on Millard Canyon Road in the recently developed La Vina community.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
