Reuters and Aachen

Apparently random independent events often link in an intriguing manner. An Aachener told me yesterday the Reuter House is now a restaurant. Aha! Then I recalled from my induction course at Reuters, around 1849 Paul Julius Reuter used 300+ pigeons to fly stock prices between Aachen and Brussels. The carrier pigeons were much faster than the post train. This is the hidden link between Reuters and Aachen.
