When I was young in the 1970s, my family would drive around VA small towns looking for a "cute little cafe." We were always 100% unsuccessful. Wish they could see this charming cafe in Petersburg that we found today before a walk on the Appomattox River Trail - Market Street Coffee

The people of #Volkswagen in #ChattanoogaTN voted overwhelmingly to #unionize with the #UAW . #PetersburgMutualAid would like to wish a #heartfelt #congratulations to the #autoworkers and the #community at large.

The 50 Years of #HipHop event was #AMAZING #yesterday ! Here's hoping that next #Saturday Battle for the Burg #openmic can pull the same weight...
