Last Friday night, a friend at church who is a symphony patron gave us his tickets a concert which he and his wife would miss due to a mission trip. Rob and I gratefully accepted and enjoyed a holiday evening out on the town. We walked to the Fulton Opera House on Prince St. on a mild northeast November evening, making sure to arrive early so we could check out the building. The Fulton used to be an old jail, and by old I mean pre-United States in the early early 1700s. There only original remnants of the jail is an original wooden door with a steel padlock and a plaque next too it describing the history. The Fulton is also supposedly haunted.
The concert was excellent. Strings, then chorus accompaniment, intermission, amazing piano-string-chorus, and then the full orchestra. We walked across the street afterwards for a coffee/tea treat before taking a longer stroll home. The bottom picture is from upstairs in the Fulton picturing Prince Street Cafe. It was a great evening out. And I can't help but think it will be one of our last really special date nights before we have to find a baby sitter!
