It was fun taking a final walk through the halls of Lincoln Middle School. 🏫

Every hallway, classroom, and corner seemed to have a story. I spend many a weekend on 2nd floor during rehearsals while managing the youth symphony. If the walls could talk! Wrong notes, right notes and notes inbetween. 🎶🎵

While the building will be transitioning to housing, the memories made inside these walls will never disappear.
