Tonight Paul, Leslee (a friend from work) and I went to see Young at Heart at the Paramount in Springfield. Leslee grew up in Springfield and used to go to the Paramount Theater as a child but hadn't been in the theater in years. She read an article in the Sunday paper about a group that was going to be there and wanted to know if Paul and I might want to go with her. I had never heard of the group and was surprised to learn that they were all pretty old, 73-89! They were wonderful; talented, funny, full of spunk and so inspiring.
I had never been in the Paramount Theater before, and from the outside it looks awful, like some kind of dive. The inside was absolutely beautiful, very ornate. Leslee said it was just like she remembered it.
What a fun night!
