Originally posted on Jon Balie's RVA 5x5 Substack, which you can follow HERE.The Dominion Energy Richmond Christmas Parade is a fun, annual rite for many; not as well-known as some other parades, perhaps, but it is still a fun morning filling up and filing down Broad...
It's wintertime here in RVA, and we've all gotta keep warm, whether we're doing so by wearing vegan leather, eating Hot Pockets, or paging through the Missed Connections looking for a friendly person to cuddle up to. If you're a sexy barber, a tatted-up security guard, or a frequently-flying Spongebob fan, someone's looking to cuddle with you...
Randolph-Macon College, a tiny, ancient university half an hour north of Richmond, has played host to more than its share of paranormal incidents over the years. “I think there’s something in the building...” Spirits, apparitions, ghosts, and the unknown. Some people believe that there is something in this world that cannot be fully explained....
Valentine's Day is almost here, and the Missed Connections are here to prove that all some of us really want is someone to make us feel special. Meanwhile, others of us are total creeps who have no idea what constitutes appropriate public behavior. Just because we're laughing at your Craigslist post doesn't mean we approve in any way, you...
It's time for another week of Missed Connections from around Virginia -- where, in a lot of places, blue-tailed lizards are more than just a metaphor. If you grew up in the country, you know what I'm talking about; growing up, it was always hilarious when a lizard foiled my hungry cat and left him holding onto a little blue tail with one claw....
Welcome to this week's Missed Connections, where the kind of sensible dating advice you'd expect to be a no-brainer ("pee first") turns out to be a strike against you. Of course, this is why dating over the internet turned out to be such a great idea -- because we're all total weirdos, and it's much easier to admit that from the other side of a...
All the crazies in the world were either in Richmond or tweeting about it on social media yesterday, and the Missed Connections this week aren't exactly sane either. Is this what we have to look forward to in 2020? At least while the world burns we'll have plenty of Craigslist posts to burst into uncomprehending laughter over, right? Not sure...
Welcome to another installment of Missed Connections, where this week we learn that cutting your finger so bad you end up in the ER means you definitely know how to have fun! Does your nurse want to have fun with you? Or has she seen too many trainwrecks while she's on shift to even consider it? You'll never know if you don't post! We've got a...
New year, new you, and new Missed Connections! Our first weekly installment of the roaring (20)20's finds a lot of positive sentiment marking the dawn of a new decade. It's a remarkable wave of goodwill to start the year off, but how long will it last? Well, keep reading, because if you guessed "not even til the end of this week," you're...
Since we last brought you our weekly Missed Connections roundup, we've moved from Merry Christmas to Happy New Year, and from freezing temps to a surprising post-solstice return of springlike conditions. That's led quite a few people to break out the warm weather clothing, which can include sandals… the mere thought of with draws weirdos...
