I grew up in Ironton and now live in Huntington, W.Va. I visit Ironton frequently and have noticed how beautiful the flower boxes are around the poles and buildings.

This makes Ironton look so inviting and warm, even the rough spots. I think I will talk to our beautification committee and let them know how such a small inexpensive change can make such a big difference.

They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

Keep it up Ironton!
