Thank you Tom for everything. Underground at the time when I met you was just starting to show everyone what it was made of. I'm just glad that I was there to take part of what was destined to be a very strong location for many years to come and it was, but like you mentioned, the party came to a close. Take care Tom, take care! Mike Lofton To Tom Richmond, just want to say that it paid off big time for the most part, other than

I don't know if you recall, but nearing the end of my senior year in high school ('95), you had asked me (since at the time I didn't know what I was going to do after high school) if I was interested in training as a possible manager for Underground after I graduated. I said I'd think about it, but never really gave you an answer if memory serves right. I think at the time I was overwhelmed and scared at the idea because I was so young and the thought of leaving my home state (with all my family and friends) was too intimidating. Nonetheless, I was very flattered at the offer. Here's to an end of an era..... I’m with Cedric, great post.

I still remember visiting it with Dar in its early months of operation. Has it REALLY been eighteen years? Good Lord. Congratulations for keeping a good thing going for so long. As an experienced businessman, you well know that businesses come and go...but I know that with it being "your first", it holds a special place for you. Thanks for the interesting history of your time there. It's obvious you poured alot of yourself into it. The good news is you've still got the same fighting spirit and determination to run your remaining locations. Which reminds me...how many are you up to now? I think that would make an interesting blog post. Sorry to hear about your Underground location closing, Tom. I still remember visiting it with Dar in its early months of operation.
