Urban Richmond: Home of the rumor mill
The rumor mill is buzzing about a new restaurant to open downtown:
There is another exciting project on the way. The venue is going to be called AURORA and it is brought to Richmond by a company called EuroEnterprises. A former bank building on the corner of Grace and 4th Street is currently being converted into a coffee shop/bakery tastefully combined with a European style cocktail lounge and restaurant. It is scheduled for opening in summer. Promotion campaign should start in coming next several weeks.
The rumor mill in this instance is my blog, and the buzz is a comment left on an earlier post (two posts, actually).
EuroEnterprises- an intriguing name- trying to bring a little European flair to our city center?
A few savvy business people have taken to using my blog to promote their new restaurants and developments. They know that my blog is read by hundreds of thousands of Richmonders daily. (OK, hundreds, and I can’t guarantee where my readers live).
Nevertheless, I like this trend. Makes updating this blog easier for me; my content has been sparse recently due to a change in my work situation. So reader submissions can help keep this community conversation going about what makes Richmond great.

Rats, scooped again.
4th and Grace, double rats. I wanted that location for myself.
On the plus side, I’ve been begging for a coffeehouse in my neighborhood, This is potentially a great location. Just wait till Center Stage and the Hilton open. The start of the resurrection of Grace Street. Hoo rah!

My sincere apology for the double posting and the posting itself (if it did not fit the scope of this blog). I just wanted to update the readers about yet another venue that is coming to downtown Richmond.
I also have a question for Paul H. Paul could you please expand on your comment …Rats, scooped again., 4th and Grace, double rats…

Mostly this refers to my own fantasies of using that space for a similar project, with a slightly different focus. I think it is a great location and space. I wish I had gotten in there first.

George, my post was not tounge-in-cheek about my thanks for your posting. Please keep us updated.
