RECENTLY I TOLD YOU THAT IT IS ON A NEW WEB SITE THAT LISTS A SUGGESTED
RESTAURANT IN ALL 99 IOWA COUNTIES FOR TOURISTS TO VISIT. THE ONE ABOVE BOMBFIRE PIZZA, IS THE JACKSON COUNTY PLACE ON THE WEB SITE.
THE PIZZA IS MADE QUICKLY IN A FURNACE THAT HEATS UP TO AROUND 700 OR MORE DEGREES AND THE RESULT, A GOOD-TASTING PIZZA. INSIDE AND OUTSIDE,
THE OWNER OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS HAS DISPLAYED MANY INTERESTING THINGS
AROUND THE SEATING AREA. ALSO IN A BASEMENT DINING AREA. WHEN YOU ATE AT BOMBFIRE PIZZA, YOU TOLD OTHERS ALL ABOUT IT. THE POPULARITY WAS NOT JUST IN SABULA BUT MILES AROUND IN IOWA AND ILLINOIS. THE OWNER, TOM HOLMAN, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS UPSTAIRS APARTMENT. AGE 60, HE IS SURVIVED BY TWO BROTHERS AND
TWO SONS. NO WORD ON CAUSE OF DEATH. THERE WILL BE A CELEBRATION
OF HIS LIFE FROM 6 UNTIL MIDNIGHT FRIDAY AT THE RESTAURANT. LAW-JONES
FUNERAL HOME IS IN CHARGE OF ALL ARRANGEMENTS. CREMATION HAS TAKEN PLACE. SABULA AND JACKSON COUNTY HAS LOST AN ATTRACTION...A POPULAR
BUSINESS. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE PLACE WILL CONTINUE TO BE OPERATED BY SOMEONE AND LIVE-ON....OR NOT. WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. I HAD PIZZA THERE
ONLY TWICE....AND WE WERE PLANNING ON A VISIT AGAIN SOON.
"HANDICAPPED" SIGN ON EACH ONE. WE NEVER HAVE HAD THOSE BEFORE,
ONLY THE PAINTED ONES ON THE CONCRETE STREETS. I'M SURE THESE BETTER-
MARKED PARKING PLACES WILL BE APPRECIATED.
FROM MY WINDSHIELD WINDOW, A PHOTO OF NEW BRICK REPLACING
OLD ON THE KIRBY'S COMPUTER STORE ON EAST PLATT.
AND...KUHLMAN'S CORNER ACROSS FROM LUTHERAN CHURCH WAS THE LOCATION FOR KUHLMAN'S USED CARS UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN BUSINESS CLOSED. NOW...LOOKS LIKE LOT HAS COME BACK TO LIFE WITH SOME USED VEHICLES AGAIN, AND OLD RESTORED FARM TRACTORS. WILL CHECK AROUND AND SEE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.
KIDS WILL LOVE THIS NEW MOVIE THAT STARTS THIS
FRIDAY AT THE VOY 1 THEATRE.

Tom Holman had a son and daughter, not two sons.
