We love that sweet spot at the tail end of summer when things are still slow and hot, but fall is a brilliant prospect ahead. Take this long weekend to savor the moment.

Coffee Roasters
Another delightful Richmond coffee shop to add to your hit list: Ironclad Coffee Roasters. When better to try than a lazy, long weekend?
This East Grace Street roastery offers specialty grade coffee and a homey atmosphere. The shop carries quite the variety of blends from its dark blend “House of Usher” to “Bare Knuckle” expresso, and everything in between.
Our current obsession though? The sweet potato ham biscuits made by local baker, Lark Baking Co., proudly served at Ironclad. Or do what we did, and order one of everything in the baked goods case. You know, to go with the coffee.

Summer
One in 68 children in the United States has been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. From early intervention to adult care, The Faison Center gives people with autism and related challenges the best opportunity to live rich and fulfilling lives.
On September 7, The Faison Center’s Junior Board will host its annual Endless Summer Party to benefit the center. Come clean in your best white duds to enjoy island treats, breezy cocktails, steel drums and lawn games. We have our eyes on the raffle to win a weeklong trip to Bali! Anything to extend the summer...
We love the idea of endless summer vibes and learning more to benefit an awesome Richmond cause.
