It's Been a Long Night...


Before Mike left for work tonight, he said he thought it was going to be a bad night... he wasn't kidding!

Mike works for a large movie theater company here in Winston... about a year ago they opened a sister theater in Greensboro - less than 30 minutes away. Mike helped with the training there and a few of the Winston managers were transferred there permanently.

Tonight... there was a shooting at the Greensboro theater. Took a while for details to unravel... but suspicion is that the shooting was gang related and that it was a movie-goer that was shot, not an employee. No word on whether or not the shooter was apprehended. The theater had over 700 customers in it at the time and was completely evacuated with people running out the doors... mass chaos!

Mike's theater here in Winston has increased police presence and they will even escort Mike out of the building at 3:30am if he wants them to (Mike's the very last person to leave). They're now sold out for the remaining shows of the evening. I know I won't rest until he's home, safe and sound!

I think a new line of work wouldn't be a bad idea.....
