National rankings say Richmond is thriving. But talk to the people living and working here, and a more complicated picture emerges. Richmond has been named one of the best cities to live in America. Again. A global marketing firm ranked 100 U.S. cities, and Richmond...
Labor Day has come and gone. Extended unemployment benefits have ended. The Supreme Court killed the eviction moratorium. And COVID numbers are on the rise once again. Depending on your situation, it might just be time to panic. But for now, let's escape all that and read the Missed Connections for a bit, shall we? We had to dig pretty deep this...
Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, one of the last ones before the unofficial end of summer, aka Labor Day weekend. We actually had a pretty slim crop of Craigslist gems this week; perhaps it's because people wanted to take advantage of one of the last weekends of the summer, but if you ask me, there was probably a Craigslist outage...
Welcome to Missed Connections, where this week we find a secret underground of adults playing dirty versions of kids' games… or so it seems (there's only so much you can say in a Craigslist ad). It seems like it might be taking place at a neighborhood Wawa, which is surprising. The most outrageous thing I ever see at Wawa is a really, really long...
It's time for another rainy, humid week of Missed Connections, in which we learn that there really is someone for everyone. From the flatulent vampires to the geology stalkers, from the sweet young ladies cutting up food for senior citizens at restaurants to the suburbanites chatting over mouthwash at the discount store, everybody's got some role...
Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where I begin with a confession: I read these things all the time, but I've never posted one, so I have no idea how it works. So, asking for a friend: do you get bombarded with spam when you post a Missed Connection on Craigslist? Considering how many people are out here requiring extensive...
Welcome back to Missed Connections, where this week begins with us pondering the difficult question: what does weasel meat taste like? Probably not great, and it might not even be safe for human consumption, but it sure does make for some entertaining late-night banter, if this week on Craigslist is any indication. We've got a lot of entertaining...
Welcome to Missed Connections! Pop quiz: what color are your pants? Did you know without looking? If so, you might be able to meet some cuties at the Wawa next time you're out. In all seriousness though, if you're looking to meet someone, it's never a bad idea to leave the house wearing really killer shoes. But maybe you're just here for the fun...
Welcome to this week's edition of Missed Connections, where we're gonna start with a bit of pretentiousness from your friendly neighborhood editor. Confidential to poet seeking muse: "wherefore" doesn't mean "where," it means "why." In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet literally said the line "Wherefore art thou Romeo" TO Romeo. She was asking "Why are...
It's Tuesday, and that means it's time once again to review the past week of wackiness via the ever-faithful Missed Connections! This week, we will learn that some Home Depot encounters are more pleasant than others, and that, even if you're not road-raging, cars can be dangerous. We'll also get a pretty obvious reference to the Fifty Shades...
