Richmond will come alive with color, music, and community as Virginia Pride Fest 2025 takes over Midtown Green 2401 West Leigh Street on Saturday, September 27, from noon to 8 p.m. The day caps off more than a week of events organized by VA Pride to celebrate...
If there's any place where dreams come true, it's probably not the Missed Connections, where we can all assume (or prove from bitter experience) that 90 percent of posts never get any answer at all. That said, it's still very entertaining to read people's dreams, especially when they are literal descriptions of slumbering visions about the...
The heat is cranking back up this week in the Missed Connections -- you can tell, because a lot of people are out here wearing fewer articles of clothing than usual. Shirtless on a riding mower is a proud tradition in the part of Virginia where I come from, but I never saw the appeal, so this week the Missed Connections are here to prove that it...
Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where everyone is just trying not to get washed away by the rain. And also not to die of boredom from the quarantine, or die of COVID from going out! There are a lot of issues to contend with right now. Maybe that means that admitting a momentary crush for the whole world to see on Craigslist isn't...
We're getting downright produce-minded in the Missed Connections, and who can blame us? After sitting inside all spring, we probably could all do with increasing our fruit intake, especially if it offers us an opportunity to chat up a hottie we can't take our eyes off of. This week, we also learn that country guys rate each other by the hats they...
Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where in addition to everything else we're trying to avoid this summer (pandemic, police violence, etc), we're also trying to duck a destructive hurricane. Is thinking happy thoughts of summertime crushes enough to avoid 50 mph winds knocking down everyone's power lines? If so, your weekly dose of...
Three Chesterfield County educators weigh in on their unexpected spring, and how internet-facilitated remote education has played out in their lives so far. After months of anticipation, the Chesterfield County School Board announced on July 20 that all public schools in Chesterfield County would be operating entirely via virtual learning for the...
It's been so hot outside for so long, it seems like it's even heating up the Missed Connections. This week, we've got cooks looking for some mutual breakfast action, downstairs neighbors with wicked girl-crushes, and partners begging for commitment -- and that's just the first three posts! From there, things can only get better, regardless of...
It's the end of the world as we know it, and whether or not you feel fine, you can at least rely on the Missed Connections to stay constant even as everything around us shifts rapidly and unpredictably. This time around, whether it's walks in the park or copping some Dairy Queen, people are finding ways to beat the heat even as they find new...
Don't look now, y'all, but the pandemic is back like it never left. So why not take refuge in the Missed Connections? Amid all the lonely people looking for love, or at least a hookup, we find at least a few honest-to-goodness missed connections still, and so we are bringing them to you this and every week. Of course, we're all back out in the...
