Grounds Central Station, a frequently attended coffee shop in the heart of Old Town Manassas, has agreed to display several poems from local poets in their front windows. April is designated as National Poetry Month, and many of the poems featured come from published authors.
Originally, the poems were to be displayed in the windows of the unoccupied building at the corner of Main and Center Streets. But just days before they were to go up, realtor Weber Rector covered those windows with large For Sale signs. The Center for the Arts at the Candy Factory, who spearheaded the art display, is still working to see if some or all of the poems will eventually make it there. The display was already approved by the City of Manassas.

Luckily, Grounds owner Matthew Brower graciously agreed to feature the works. Many of the writers often meet at the coffee shop, so it was only natural that their work be showcased there. Signed books from local authors are also available for purchase inside.
So take a trip to Grounds, grab some coffee and a sandwich, and enlighten your mind with these imaginative and thought-provoking pieces!
