Letter: The Icon helps me keep in touch
Icon:
Former Blufftonite Chris Hardesty here, now in New York. I don't recall what initially led me to the Icon a couple months ago, but I'm happy to have found it.
I check in every week or so and feel like I'm getting back in touch with the wonderful town I grew up in. I've enoyed the video of the band reunion, the blog post about the slaw cutters and the 15-minute Q&As. And (feel free to share this with your advertisers) I'm making a list of businesses I hope to hit-up whenever II make it back to town -- popcorn, coffee, Dough Hook...
Please keep up the good work and give my regards to Mary.
Best,
Chris Hardesty
