Me and my friend and neighbor David at the Argo in 2006
Hey guys, I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy, healthy, peaceful, safe and prosperous new year. Today is also the 6th(!) birthday of Frozen Tropics. H Street, Trinidad, and the larger area north of Capitol Hill have changed so much. We've all grown together. People often say that we are like a big family around here, and I totally believe that is true. We may fight at times, but ultimately we all have to live together, and work together to make this a better place to live, work, and play. I love you guys, and this blog would never be a fraction of what it is without you. I love it here, and I hope you all do too. After ten years, this is my home, and I wouldn't trade it (or my friends here) for anything. It's been absolutely amazing.
