Tuesday Verses shares talent and love

RICHMOND, Va. – Broken bottles and empty wrappers rest at the doorstop of former open mic venue Tea Co. located on Broad Street. All that remains inside is a bar, some artwork and a few tables and chairs. The days of Say Word Wednesdays that used to be held at Tea Co. are long gone.

One spot that refuses to end up deserted is Tropical Soul Café. Located on Second Street, the restaurant is where Richmond poets, musicians and artists can spend their Tuesday nights.
