Good News for Common Groundz? Not!
Scaffolding, fencing and a dumpster went up around the old Common Groundz Coffeehouse building this past weekend. I don’t have any word on what might be happening, but this doesn’t jibe with the demolition plans of the VCU foundation. I’m hoping to hear more from the Historic Richmond Foundation soon.

See comment below. More like the beginning of the end.
After speaking with the site manager, the scaffolding is to get rid of asbestos in the front of the building. They will remove the bus stop in order to have ample space for the proper equipment. Once the asbestos is removed, demolition will then follow.
