Summer has officially started and the Earth is throwing a massive global heat wave to get the party started. ed. note: Its going to get hot this weekend with peak temperatures hitting 100 this Sunday! Be safe out there. Also, check out the Pete Hume Substack...
Welcome to Richmond in the first week of December, when it apparently snows now? I don't know about you, but I hope this isn't a sign of things to come where Richmond's winter is concerned. It might make for some good Missed Connections, though, and these days we all need as many of those as we can get. This week starts with a load of wood -- and...
Black Friday has come and gone, and we are now officially in the Christmas season here at the Missed Connections. This week, we're getting in the spirit with MCs from Christmas tree lots and holiday parties that we can only hope are not super-spreader events. The holidays are always a fraught time, but the specter of disease is making this year's...
Thanksgiving is coming, and everyone is traveling. Plague or no plague, we're all gonna go see grandma this Thanksgiving, because this might be the last time we get to see her (especially if we give her COVID while we're there). This isn't really a viable long-term strategy, but then, neither are Missed Connections, and that doesn't stop us from...
Somehow, after the kind of month we've had so far -- not to mention the year we've had so far -- we're all still here for another week's Missed Connections. And if you read this week, you might be amazed to think that a plague is still loose on the streets, that social media is a constant garbage fire of disinformation and inflammatory lies. I...
The election has been called but I still can't quite shake that lingering feeling of panic near the edge of my consciousness. If you know where I'm coming from on that, maybe you too are ready for a cleansing dip in the raw escapism of this week's Missed Connections. Well, as if it knows what you need, this week kicks off with multiple doses of...
Welcome to Missed Connections for the week after Halloween, where normally we'd expect a ton of notes for people in cute costumes who were spotted in bars. But there's a pandemic afoot, so that kind of thing is bound to be a little thin on the ground this year. And let's be real -- we're all a lot more likely to be worried about casting our votes...
Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where we find the anonymous denizens of Craigslist asking: can this year just end already? Here at RVA Mag, we are definitely feeling burnt out, Missed Connections posters -- rest assured, you are not alone. That said, we don't just have Christmas to look forward to, we also have some fun treats this...
It's the last gasp of warm weather for the year, folks, and before we all inevitably end up quarantined in our houses once again, the time is right to get out there and make a Missed Connection of your own! Some people have been doing that this time around, including plenty of beachgoers and dog walkers smiling at each other when their wives...
It's October, the month that pumpkin spice becomes completely ubiquitous and at least half of your neighbors spend entirely devoted to elaborate Halloween decorations. Here at the Missed Connections, finding the perfect person to hand out treats with is a full-time occupation, one complicated considerably by the ongoing need to socially distance....
