On Sunday afternoon, the last baseball game will be held at The Diamond after 40 years of service to a city and region and two baseball teams in what was, when it opened, “a major league park in a minor league town.” Between opening night in 1985 and the last game on...
There's a chill in the air this week, but if you need to warm up, things are always hot and heavy in the Missed Connections. We've got some pretty zany highlights this time around, but the wackiest of them all might be the couple who wants to test drive a sleeper-cab semi truck by getting down to business in the bunk. Either lot lizards have to...
The month that ends with Halloween begins today, and that's a cause for celebration for a lot of people, which might explain why we're suddenly getting Missed Connections from the Poe Museum and the Psychedelic Furs show. Let's do some raven-style partying with a bumper crop of Missed Connections, shall we? We shall, and we shall also learn that...
Missed Connections often brings out the weirdest qualities of humanity, but every once in a while, it brings out the best. Such is the case this week, as you'll soon see. And of course, we agree with the poster -- catcalling women on the street is completely unacceptable. Meanwhile, it seems that the action was hot in the campgrounds around the...
The VCU Free Store isn’t large, but it still contains plenty of useful items, from books to kitchen appliances. And -- if you're a VCU student -- it's all free. There may not be such a thing as a free lunch, but right now there could be such a thing as a free microwave that makes cheap lunches cheaper for VCU students. This is thanks to the new...
The American melting pot came together in the River City with The World Heritage Festival’s stop at Brown’s Island. The World Heritage Festival is dedicated to sharing and experiencing a variety of foreign cultures, and it visited one of its new centers for sharing on Brown’s Island in Richmond this past Saturday for a day full of...
I don't know about y'all, but buffets of any kind are a particular weakness of mine. I never would have associated them with Missed Connections, but this week, we'll all learn that some people very much do. Digging in at Golden Corral is just the thing to get some people all hot and bothered, apparently. I guess I get it -- the mac and cheese is...
“It’s more than just what’s in your history books.” BLK RVA showcases the booming black cultural scene that's made Richmond what it is today. In the last 10 years, Richmond has exploded as a creative hub -- in a good way. As someone who was born and raised here, I understand the potential culture this city has to offer, and recently it has...
It's Missed Connections time once again, and I don't know about all you other Scooby Doo fans out there, but I always thought Velma was much more intriguing than Daphne. I guess I'm not the only one, because we have some sexy librarian lust happening in the MC's this week that'll bring back fond memories of everybody's adorable mystery-solving...
School's back in here in Richmond, and if you're riding the bus, you just might find yourself in the Missed Connections this week. After all, we've all gotta get there somehow. We've got a bunch of fun stuff in the good ol' MCs this week, from house flippers who want to flip more than just houses to athletic hikers and flirty Food Lion shoppers....
