The Carver neighborhood sits tucked between the highway and the downtown sprawl, close enough to reach everything and overlooked long enough to feel like its own island. So when CONEX appeared there a few weeks ago, rising out of a sunken concrete pit built from cargo...
If you're seeking wisdom this week, you might want to check out the Missed Connections, where we've learned that people don't change -- they just keep on using an anonymous internet service to tell the world about their crushes on customer service employees. For example, this week we've got employees from libraries and office parks, a change from...
Another Valentine's Day has come and gone, but judging by this week's jam-packed Missed Connections, a lot of people out there are still looking for love in all the wrong places. It's been a tough February for some of us too -- especially Tommie the pit bull, whose tragic story touched us all. Others have wrecked cars to deal with, and that's...
It's rainy and gross out this week, so I suppose it's no surprise that methods of transportation are big in this week's Missed Connections. Whether you're stopping on Afton Mountain, waiting in the drive-thru line at KFC, or chatting about custom bikes at the DMV, cars seem to be a great way to get people's attention. Do you own a motor vehicle?...
Our schizophrenic winter weather is striking once again, folks, but if you need someone to share your blanket, or to invite out to a picnic, the Missed Connections is probably the place for you. Especially if the divorce is final and you're on Tinder ready to mingle! Some of you are clearly not above making passes at married people, though, and...
Are food and infatuation intrinsically connected? If you read the Missed Connections week after week, it sure starts to seem that way. So it's no surprise that this week brings us a very cuisine-oriented edition of our weekly trawl through Craigslist. There are certainly more reliable ways of meeting men than dropping cucumbers in the grocery...

If you need meat, you go to the market (shout out to Ray Manzarek). And maybe you go to the Missed Connections, to catch the attention of that cutie you ran into by the steaks. But if meat isn't what you're shopping for, that's OK -- we've got interactions of all types in the MC's this week. If you love cars, you're in luck this week -- whether...
Trading spouses isn't just for mediocre reality TV anymore! Now it's found a new home -- in this week's Missed Connections. But you don't have to be already-married to find romance here, though it will help if you like to wear open-toed high heels in the winter (which sounds crazy, but hey, whatever floats your boat). You might also find love...
We're starting 2019 off right here in Virginia, and this week's missed connections reflect that fact. From people checking on your coffee orders to good samaritans making sure you got the license plate number of the guy who hit your car, everyone's looking out. And if you're looking out for some companionship, you might want to check through this...
