To whom it may concern,

I came to London this past weekend for a High School reunion. Besides enjoying special friends and former classmates, I discovered London all over again. It has turned into a beautiful little town. The schools, banks, Judicial Center, Financial Center, to name a few, are gorgeous. I could tell many people and many hours have gone into the city planning. The lamp posts, flags, flowers, chain fences in front of buildings, parking lot, pocket parks were all very impressive and made it welcoming. Even some of the older buildings had new facades, attractive additions, etc. I just had to tell you how proud I am of my home town.

The only disappointment was the closing of Weaver’s Pool Room. You must somehow bring back this favorite London icon.

Keep up the good work.
