90-Year-Old Dorothy French Gets Surprise Birthday Party From Balcony Of Her Nursing Home

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Neighbors in Lincoln Park threw a surprise "social distancing" birthday party Thursday morning for 90-year-old Dorothy French.

A family friend came up with the idea for the surprise, since Dorothy is living at a nursing home and cannot have visitors, because the elderly are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19.

Dorothy's family, friends, neighbors, and church members gathered outside the Symphony of Lincoln Park to serenade her for her milestone birthday.

Dorothy had a blast, even though she had to stay on the second floor balcony.
