Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we learn the thing we've always known about moving: it sucks to do it alone. In fact, it sucks so bad that you might resort to Craigslist and fake a romantic connection with someone who broke their arm just to see...
Virginia has experienced some ecological anomalies this summer: giant terror plants, an increase in snake reports, great white sharks off the coast, but now it has all come full circle with a report out of Virginia Beach this past week.

Philip Van Cleave, President of the Virginia Citizens Defense League and “Friendly Grown Up,” wants to arm your toddler with pistols, machine guns, and grenade launchers.

Before reaching Swannanoa, I was almost certain that Dee Dee, the attendant at the Waynesboro Shell Station, would be the last person to see us alive. Waynesboro, Virginia is a small town in the...
Apparently there are some gorgeous mega babes in Richmond just walking around, smoking, and doing their jobs without anyone’s permission. Rude. Also, if you’re planning on stealing shit from people in the West End, get ready to meet some serious saucy sarcasm. Contrary to popular belief, West Enders can throw shade. (Also West Enders, be on the...
