According to Richmond Bizsense, a new high-rise could soon reshape Richmond’s skyline as a mystery developer from New York considers building a 35-to-40-story mixed-use tower on a prime state-owned lot at 703 E. Main Street. The project, which would be among the...
I don't know how many ways I can tell y'all over and over again every week that all of us are losing our minds a bit from the longterm social isolation of this pandemic, but even if I get repetitive, it seems that the Missed Connections will always find a new spin on an old theme. This week, we hear from someone whose top criteria for a...
It's another week of Missed Connections, and with the weather growing ever colder, it seems like we're all getting pretty quirky these days. This week brings us freaks who want their ears massaged by a hot barber and lightly-endowed gentlemen seeking those with similar attributes (or lack thereof). How crazy are we all going to be by March? Only...
The COVID-19 era has restructured education for everyone, especially students with disabilities. The lack of peer interaction has negatively impacted some students with disabilities, while allowing others to thrive in the digital classroom. Sebastian and Gabriel Saxon wake up at the same time every day and log into online classes. Sebastian has...
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...
Celebrating 10 years of providing yoga and mindfulness classes to the greater Richmond area, the wellness nonprofit continues to uphold its mission of affordability and accessibility. Project Yoga Richmond celebrated its tenth birthday this past month doing what it does best — offering free yoga and meditation classes for the greater Richmond...
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...
