It was always great to be able to just pop by and spend time with her. So many ideas and great times were born and celebrated with her over the years. It was the heart of Aurora, helping local charities, fundraisers, churches and hosting countless community events.<br \/>\nWhere is she now?<br \/>\nI was happy to find her back on Yonge Street, Aurora currently working at Aw Shucks\u2019 new location just south of Wellington.<br \/>\nIt seems Mary missed us too. She is helping gather a lunch crowd and I know she would love to see her friends.<br \/>\nThe new venue is beautiful.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a treat to share a delicious organic coffee and\/or lunch and catch up with Mary G.<br \/>\nSo, if you miss her too, visit her for lunch or a coffee, Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.<br \/>\nBut wait, there\u2019s more!<br \/>\nMaking it extra special is Vera Harrison is there too!<br \/>\nGood choices, Aw, Shucks!<br \/>\nThe Heart of Aurora is once again on Yonge Street daily.<br \/>\nThanks, Mary. It is so great to have you back on Yonge!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sher St. Kitts<br \/>\nSnowball<\/strong><\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F13304&#038;t=There%E2%80%99s%20Something%20About%20Mary%2C%20says%20reader&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F13304&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=There%E2%80%99s%20Something%20About%20Mary%2C%20says%20reader\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F13304&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=There%E2%80%99s%20Something%20About%20Mary%2C%20says%20reader&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F13304\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is Something About Mary Georgopoulos.
