After culling through more than 300 suggestions from patrons for a new name, Stir Crazy Cafe — a popular coffee shop on Northside’s MacArthur Avenue — has chosen its new moniker.

The newly named Old Dank Grounds Cafe will be closed on April 1 so that the interior can be repainted various shades of brown and black to reflect its new, darker image.

The name change is the result of a national chain named Stir Crazy moving into the Richmond area; that company served the MacArthur coffee shop with a cease-and-desist order earlier this year.

The shop’s owners say that in keeping with its new image, laughter and carefree chatter will be prohibited.

Happy April Fool’s, Northside.
