It's the Tuesday after Easter, and you know what that means! That's right, the leftover Easter candy is half off at the grocery store. Also, spring has fully sprung, and the lovely Easter weather has apparently set hearts around the Commonwealth aflutter -- at least if this week's Missed Connections are any indication. It seems everyone is...
On Wednesday afternoon, the space freighter Antares launched from NASA's spaceport on Virginia's Eastern Shore. RVA Magazine was on the scene.

Porno theaters and biker haunts, streams of punk rockers flowing from bar to street to bar again, stitched up in Germs gear and Buzzcocks back patches. A line of motorcycles slouch crooked near the sidewalk, like iron horses in front of a saloon. This was Grace Street in the 1990s, which, at that point, had maintained a rowdy reputation for...
Welcome to this week's Missed Connections, where it seems that the season for hollering at redheads continues. Spring is also here (even if it's pretty cold this morning...), and you can tell by the people out riding bikes, walking dogs, and checking out fine hotties.
