Many thanks to Blaine Houmes for this information about Ford's Theatre.

It was generous of Abe to give Ford's two stars.

Ha! What a hoot!

Any other famous people that were murdered in a theater?

RE: Ford's Theatre - Craig Hipkins - 01-18-2015 02:51 PM

Someone has a good sense of humour!

Well, it's not as if he was murdered every time he went to the theater there. He could have been generous and given an extra star. Smile

Really funny, but tragic, at the same time!

Loving it! Wonder how many stars "the boys" gave Mrs. Surratt's Boarding House?

Betty, I looked up the Wok and Roll on Yelp and a few reviewers mentioned Booth and Mrs. Surratt although I didn't see any from "the boys."

I didn't know there was a karaoke bar on the second floor. Here's a link to Mrs. Surratt's former parlor.

Best review I saw for the Wok and Roll was one which said, "Every time I eat here, I feel like shooting the President."

Had not heard that anything was open on the second floor of the old boardinghouse. The last time I was there they had added a sushi bar that was taking up quite a bit of space in what was already a crowded ground floor. Wonder how the ghosts are enjoying all this activity?

Thanks Dr. Houmes. Checked out Yelp and found John W Booth review of Ford's Theater
Saying "It's worth a shot."
