Thank You For Seven Years Of The Hot Iron

Today, December 30, marks the 7th anniversary of the very first blog post on The Hot Iron, appropriately titled, Hello World.

Rather than getting mushy about the past, I’d like to thank you for reading, whether this is the first time you have read something I have written, you for some reason have been with me for the past 7 years or you are somewhere in between.

It has been an up and down journey, but aren’t they all? This past year I have gotten re-energized about blogging, and I hope to keep it up in the coming year. Only time will tell.

As I have in the past, I have wanted to have some photo to accompany the years, and this year I chose Heaven on Seven, an amazing New Orleans-style restaurant in Chicago. If you come to the Windy City, you must try it. They have 2 locations – one on the Magnificent Mile and one on Wabash Avenue, where this sign is located in front of. Go to the latter – the feel is more authentic.

This is from The Hot Iron, a journal on business and technology by Mike Maddaloni.

Keep up the good work. I remember going to this place. Didn’t I go with you? Inside a building, taking an elevator. I miss places like this in Chicago. The main difference between Miami and Chicago. Is that in Chicago people are proud and feel ownership of the city. Miami is too transient and you don’t really feel that ownership vibe. I hope 2014 is a great year for both of us.

Congrats Mike and thanks for the smiles you post brought to my face! Right now I regret having removed the “Hello World” post when I set off onto my own journey into the blogosphere. A shame indeed and a great opportunity wasted…
I’m sure you have been looking back onto quite a few milestones, considering a journey of seven years already! Here’s to the next 7 and fingers crossed there will be another great restaurant on floor fourteen too… ;)
