Lighting of the Marquee State Theater

Last night was pretty amazing; Leisure Lee and I actually went out at about 7:00pm to have dinner at our new favorite pizza place. It's actually not a new place, it's our favorite since we find ourselves no longer ordering from Pizza Express. Leisure Lee said,"I wonder if they miss us not coming in anymore." So now we travel down to old town Auburn and go to Old Town Pizza. It used be know as the Wine Cellar and I went there once or, twice in my life. Afterwards we headed uptown Auburn and joined the community for the lighting of the newly installed State Theater Marquee lighting party. As a kid I didn't visit this theater much. The one time I remember going to the show with a bunch of cousins and one of them kept running up and down the isle and the usher came along and kicked us out on the street. We couldn't call our parents to come get us because then they would know what happened. We listened to some pretty good music and musicians. Glenda Gonzales sang (drama teacher from Placer High School)"Fly me to the moon" and I can't believe how much I was smiling just listening to her. Then there was a count down, 10, 9, 8, 7... etc and it was spectacular to see this old building with such a pretty new look. We didn't plop into bed until past 11:00pm - the air was the best it had been all week- I can't say enough about the fire crews- THANK YOU!!!!
