The Lincoln was on Central Ave in a black section of Tampa above Nebraska Ave which separated it from the old Ybor City with 7th ave serving as downtown Ybor City. It was the only theater I saw movies in before leaving Tampa in 1968. It was on the same street as the public housing complex with the same name near Booker T Washington Jr High School. Since I lived off 22nd ave it was a bit of a risk to see movies there unless I knew somebody or laid low so as not to be identified as someone from another neighborhood. As kids we got into a Saturday matinee with either three RC cola bottle tops or 15 cents to see GODZILLA!
