Do you have long, layered hair? If so, then Ikons may be for you. I, however, with my short, unlaired bob have been treated with rudeness. After hearing glowing testimonials from existing customers, I entered Ikons hopefully. I walked in and asked to make an appointment, but the receptionist completely ignored me. Thinking it was a fluke, I tried again the next day, and was again greeted with silence. It seems that Ikon offed a startingly mixed message. Existing customers adore it, but new customers are treated with contempt. Gladly, this kind of place can't stay in business forever.

Pepperoni's Pizza is an above-average pizza take-out place, but with one major and damaging flaw. Pepperoni's is run by a group of friendly individuals who are conciderate and easy to deal with. Most of the time, thier food is excellent. My personal favorites are the cheese pizzas, the buffalo wings, and the curly fries. The downside, however, is an inconsistancy in the taste. Sometimes, the wings are spicy, other times mild. Sometimes the pizza is burnt, other times it is doughy. It is for this reason that I do not recommend Pepperoni's Pizza. If you feel like gambling, however, then please make an order.

Luke's Doughnuts is the peak of doughnutty goodness. Their doughnuts are made fresh every morning. Unlike commercial dooughnut chains, the doughnuts and light and flakey. The frosting is sweet and delicious and the sprinkles are crisp and crunchy. My personal favorite is the vanilla frosted with sprinkles. Doughnuts cost only 89 cents apice and many combos (including a $2.49 medium coffe and two doughnut deal) are available

The University of Hartford's Summer Place camp is, in my opinion, the best day camp in the Hartford area. Campers are given the option of choosing from a massive variety of enrichment classes and sports. Campers start out with three 1 hour sports in the morning, have a 1 hour lunch, and then proceed to their first enrichment class. Once that class is finished there is a 15 minute popsicle break, followed by the final enrichment class of the day. The number of enrichment choices is well over 50, with rocketry, CSI, and TV Production being a few of the more popular ones. The camp is offered for three two-week segments throughout July and the beginning of August. Prices average $800 per camper per session.

Dawn Cooley is an excellent local dentist. Her office is clean and new. The dental equipment is state of the art and the waiting room is extremely pleasant. Dr. Cooley is extremely pleasant and is also very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the practice is only part time. The office is open only one Saturday a month and the dental hygienist is only at work half of the business hours. If you can find an appointment the fits your schedule however, then this is the dentist for you.

Camp Chase is a mediocre outdoor swimming facility. It has several lap lanes which are always for adults only. There is no diving board, and the water reaches a depth of 8 feet. On one corner of the pool is a volleyball net and several balls to play with. There is a small playscape and limited fields to one side of the pool and a parking lot to the other. To the front of the pool is a building with a small snack bar and changing rooms. On the second floor there are several offices and a room with a dozen tables and a broken foosball table. If you are already a YMCA member and you feel like a swim, stop by camp chase. Otherwise, don't bother.

Ski Sundown is an excellent choice for great skiing or snowboarding fun. They have 14 trails including three bunny hills and three black diamond rated trails. Rentals are reasonably priced as are boot/ski/snowboard rentals. There are four lifts, three triples and a double. Ski/snowboard lessons are also offered. Sundown has two terrain parks, Exhabition and Stinger.During the middle of the summber there are a wide vareity of jump incluing big air, a massive, expert only jump. I wholeheartedly recommend ski sundown for the casual to advanced skiier. It offers almost everything a skiier could want, at prices that scream "yes, yes, yes"
