Well, tonights the night. Uno mas for all our wonderful family, friends, and fans. Thank you all for your love and support over the past few years. Thank you to everyone on the 525 team, past or current, for what you contributed to this place we call home. And an especially big thank you to everyone whos reminded us that we did make a difference, in both our neighborhood, and in your lives. One of our address-less neighbors who comes in for a little help from time to time was distraught the other night when I told him we were closing. He struggled with the idea, the motive, and the result. Its not like were supporting his lifestyle. We give him sandwiches when hes hungry, and blankets when hes cold. Over the past two years, weve become friends, and he was truly more upset that were closing than the loss of a place to pick up some food and spare change. He asked me how much it would cost to stay open. I threw out the ridiculously high number of $800k. My boys response? $800 Thousand? $800 Thousand. Tom, if I can get you that $800 Thousand by Saturday, youll stay open? THAT is making an impact on the community. At the very least, we made one mans life more important and valuable to even himself. We wanted to accomplish much more over a much longer period, but if we made life better for even one person, 525 was a great success, and every single one of you played a key role in that success. Thank you all again, and with all my heart. Im truly honored that I was able to serve yall over the course of our time together, and I hope to see you all again at our next place, wherever that may be. Gratefully yours, T
