Thanks to Bradenton for being friendly on 80th birthday

I want to thank all the establishments downtown that treated me terrific on my birthday, Jan. 8. It was No. 80 for me. The patrons and the band I listened to were great. I danced and had a ball.

Yes, Bradenton, you are the "Friendly City," and I am glad I have lived here for about 18-19 years.

You all made my day!
