Love Thy Neighbor

Love Thy Neighbor

There was a new guy that moved across the street from me, a new neighbor, and every time he saw me on the front porch puffing away, he asked to bum a smoke. It got so incessant that I had begun smoking in the backyard instead, not wishing to part with any of my...

Best Of VA Missed Connections: August 25 – August 31

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, one of the last ones before the unofficial end of summer, aka Labor Day weekend. We actually had a pretty slim crop of Craigslist gems this week; perhaps it's because people wanted to take advantage of one of the last weekends of the summer, but if you ask me, there was probably a Craigslist outage...

Welcome to Missed Connections, where this week we find a secret underground of adults playing dirty versions of kids' games… or so it seems (there's only so much you can say in a Craigslist ad).

So, asking for a friend: do you get bombarded with spam when you post a Missed Connection on Craigslist? Considering how many people are out here requiring extensive...
