The paper, as with most around the country, has gone even farther South as the Internet has taken over as many people's prime source of news. They have farmed out the local employment listings to Yahoo Hot Jobs which annoys me for some reason. I do like the Monday Metro Business section as a great way to keep up on developments locally. The website is pretty bad as well.

On May 24, 2000, The Voice Newspaper did amazing article about younger brother. I was very happy about how well written the article was and how my story was published in the media. The Voice is more than a newspaper; it's about African American lives and stories that occur each day in the city of Richmond, Virginia. The entire staff at The Voice newspaper has been a huge support in my brother's career over the years.

I particularly enjoyed the story about the sales slump following implementation of the city cigarette tax. It was well written, well researched and included interviews with a number of local merchants. I'd like to have seen some comment from the politicians who voted for the tax. I did not see funnies or a crossword which would have made it five stars. [Review 12177 overall, 1961 of 2019.]

Richmond Guide is a little local magazine that I always pick up at one of my favorite breakfast…read morespots. I would assume it is widely circulated but I went on the web site and they didn't list where it could be picked up. However, luckily enough, you can read the issue right on line (see? it pays to do a little research). The best article in the current magazine is by Walter Griggs who always does a great job picking out interesting tidbits of Richmond history. This particular article talks about the time when the "Train of the Future" came to the still open Broad Street Train Station (now the Science Museum of Virginia). The account is a wonderful glimpse into a world when trains were still "high tech" and things of wonder. There is also a great article on "Urban Playground" which sheds light on some great places for the urban sportsman and adventurer. It focuses on Richmond's bike and hiking trails, white water rafting, and climbing spots. I definitely learned something new for sure. The magazine is a handy size and is divided into dining, lodging, events, galleries, performing arts, exploring and "Spring" (they do a season for each publication) There are many local publications that spotlight the happenings going on in Richmond, "Style" and "Brick" first come to mind, but the Richmond Guide never fails to tell me something new about my city. This, accompanied by the fact that it isn't trying to be anything else, makes it worth picking up.

Sharing some of the demographics that make Style Magazine so popular, Brick seems to be cutting out a niche of younger readers left in the dust by Style many years ago. Brick focuses on live music, cultural events, and art happenings around town and the region. The See It, Hear It, and Do It sections are all devoted to these genres. Brick comes out every Thursday and is easy to grab at local downtown, Fan, Museum District and Carytown restaurants and hipper businesses. Lastly the Find It sections include classifieds, great comics, and ends up with the crossword at "Solve It". A good little rag to keep up with the more underground happenings, especially in the live music scene for sure.

There's nothing I love better than browsing a high-end magazine like this, dreaming over the designer kitchens, bespoke clothes, and incredible antiques. Like my mother always said, I have champagne taste on a beer budget (well, imported beer budget anyway!) The writing and photography are excellent, with topics that will give you a vicarious invitation to some of the most exclusive addresses in our beautiful state.

This cool little spot packs a punch with a nice menu, great people and an incredible selection of records. I made an effort to include this shop in my itinerary while I was in the area for a Yelp event. I had 2 goals: get a matcha and pickup some records my dad and I would both enjoy. I succeeded. I ordered the Le Yams as Matcha which was sweet and spiced with a great balance of flavor. I dug through the crates and was able to score some James Brown, Lakeside, George Duke, and Johnny Guitar Watson. I was impressed by the selection. I definitely recommend giving this place a visit and will be back as soon as I can.

After checking in, my friend and I went to the register to redeem and order our drinks. I do not like coffee, but was able to order from the menu despite that. There were so many things I wanted to try, but made a note to return regularly, not just for the drinks, but to view the record collection also. We saw so many oldies in the collection and there were a lot of albums to look through. When sat down once our drinks (The Matcha Spritz and Matcha Mule) were done and had them with vegan breakfast options provided at the event from a different vendor. La Cache Dulcet does not serve food yet, but plan to in the future. There was a DJ and he was top notch. The music wasn't so loud that we could not hear each other talk and we were right next to him. We didn't want to leave because this whole place was a vibe, but we had to get back to the tasks of the day. We purchased another drink (Chai Latte with Cardamom, Pear, and Cinnamon syrup) on the way out and it was hands down, DELICIOUS. They use oatmilk for their drinks so I didn't have to worry about dairy restrictions. This place is not just worth trying. It is worth experiencing. They plan to have events that will be announced on their Instagram page.
