I Was To Inherit A Capitalist Nation

The ceilings were all collapsing. The moldering roof was seeping through to the drywall and paint inside. What was once a small emerald speck of mold above the shower had turned into a fuzzy kaleidoscope of blacks and pinks and grays and greens that coated the entire...

Richmond Is a Top Ten City for Seasonal Allergies.

If you’ve lived here long enough, you know the moment. Your car suddenly looks like it’s been dusted with powdered mustard. Your eyes itch. Your sinuses start to close up. Spring in Richmond has arrived, and with it comes the pollen. After several weeks of freezing or...

Ring, Richmond, and the Feeling of Being Watched

Walk through just about any neighborhood in Richmond and you’ll see them. The small blue-lit doorbells tucked into brick row houses in Church Hill. The newer setups in Manchester townhomes and Scott’s Addition apartments. For a lot of us, buying a Ring camera was...

DAY 8 & 9 | What It’s Like to Judge the Richmond Cannabis Cup

Editor's Note: We are an official media sponsor for February Fire which will be held February 28th at Homegrown VA. Weed has been the diadem of rebellious youth for generations, a product so diametrically opposed to the capitalist urge that its use conjures images of...

Best Of VA Missed Connections April 1 – April 7

It's another week of quarantine here in the Missed Connections, and we're missing just about everything at this point -- some of this week's posters are even missing those cheesy bikini car wash events that random cheerleading groups throw to raise funds for prom or whatever. I always thought they were a little degrading, myself, but hey,...

A plague is loose on the land, and any Missed Connections out there right now are just gonna have to stay missed for a while. But hey, we can still read about them, right? In this trying time, let's get the little bits of joy where we can. Like, for example, the guy who still fantasizes about his unrequited high school sweetheart kicking him in...

Meme-ing Our Way Through The Outbreak

In which we look for amusement in the midst of panic by turning to the creative image manipulators of the internet. Coronavirus has killed thousands of people and sickened hundreds of thousands (if not millions) more around the world. It has also caused mass hysteria, and public health is on the brink. For obvious reasons, keeping a positive...

It's surprising to see just how strongly the Missed Connections roll on regardless of the fact that we're all quarantined in our homes. Personally, I've only been around other people once in the past week -- I was at the grocery store, frantically trying to grab some toilet paper. How is it still out of stock everywhere? Do some of you have...

To Bidet, Or Not To Bidet?

If you’re counting pennies or just can't find any toilet paper in the stores, it's the bidet's day today. The Internet has some DIY tutorials to upgrade your bathroom, so let’s have a laugh and get through this pandemic together.  OK so, worst case scenario. That mighty fiend coronavirus has paid this country a visit, and while this pandemic...

Best Of VA Missed Connections March 11 – March 17

It's an interesting week in the world of Missed Connections, because right now, all any of us can think about is how much we want to miss a connection with COVID-19. That's a thought some Missed Connections posters had this week, but as others prove, we can't all sit alone in our houses forever without longing for companionship. And that's an...

Best Of VA Missed Connections March 4 – March 10

This week's Missed Connections asks a burning question -- do you like to shave? Not yourself, but… other people? If so, there's someone out there looking for you. Don't worry, you're not gonna get paid, so it'll have to be for the love. And you better bring your own clippers. Sounds great, right? That's not all we've got for ya this week, though...

Valentine's Day is less than a month in the rearview, and already the Missed Connections are full of regret. In particular, there's apparently a turtle out there looking to form a mutual Cupid's-arrow-removal pact. This is one time I think y'all might be extending the metaphor a bit too far. But at least it's entertaining, right? Sometimes you...

Best of VA Missed Connections February 19 – February 25

In the depths of winter, it seems the Missed Connections are getting truly bizarre, and none of it is more bizarre than the person who wants to switch bodies with someone in a nursing home. That's a pretty strange obsession there, friend, but hey… keep 'em coming. This is why we head back to Craigslist every single week. This week also brings us...
