If you don't already know about the Richmond Zombie Walk, it's our town's party for the undead, and it's one of the fun things Richmonders look forward to every year. For its 18th haunting go-round, this zombie parade took Carytown by storm—moaning, shambling, and...
This month, Henrico residents encountered what might be the weirdest secret Santa ever. But hey, at least the singer for Those Manic Seas is keeping busy. I’ve received a lot of strange, unsolicited gifts in my life. A pot holder, a tiny nativity set, a picture of a family I don’t know in a frame from the 80s. But a television from the 80s, from...
It must be a tough summer, because here in the Missed Connections, people are getting downright poetic about their lost loves. But not all the verses are sad -- you'll find REI-inspired poetry is every bit as hilarious as it sounds. It's also fun to imagine that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are sending star-crossed messages about their lost...
Summer is all about the extremes of the human condition. Sometimes you're having amazing experiences you'll remember all of your life. Other times, you're just trying to keep from collapsing with heat-induced exhaustion. If you've had any of the latter moments this summer (and god knows we probably all have), you'll relate to this week's Missed...
It's summertime -- time to be at the pool, time to get your car washed, time to try your luck at the Missed Connections. This week's crop is sure to hit home if you've ever been ghosted without warning… and haven't we all at one point or another? We've also got some car-related Missed Connections this week, with cell phone addicts at Carpool and...
If you too have sometimes cast longing looks in the direction of your Uber driver, this will be a very relatable Missed Connections week for you. Because in addition to the time-honored tradition of falling in love with our restaurant servers, this week sees quite a few people getting all twitterpated about their Uber drivers… and sometimes, it...
Congratulations to everyone who managed to survive the intense heat of the past week! If you're still here, you've got a return to the massive downpours of the previous year and a half to look forward to, so uh… congratulations? Before we worry about all that, though, we can dive into this week's Missed Connections and see what sort of intense...
It’s too damn hot outside. There’s nothing you can possibly do but talk about how damn hot it is. I tried, I failed. It’s just too damn hot! Ahhhhhhhhhhh Here, enjoy a bunch of hot memes: How hot is it?? ok Fine. It's so Hot that Global Warming has been replaced with global melting It's so Hot that catfish are already fried when you...
Have you ever bought a beautiful stranger Taco Bell to catch her attention? It seems, if this week's Missed Connections are anything to go by, that this may be a successful strategy. I'll tell you one thing for sure: it's a strategy we here at RVA Magazine approve of. A strategy we don't so much approve of is waiting around to super-like people...
I don't know what it is about this summer, but a lot of people seem to have the post-Fourth Of July blues in the Missed Connections this week. Lovelorn poetry, bitter goodbyes, and solitary laments are thick on the ground in this week's trawl through the world of Craigslist. But don't get too sad -- there's plenty of amusing hijinks to keep your...
