Richmond is no stranger to infrastructure challenges, but the recent water crisis has brought the city’s water treatment plant under intense scrutiny. A winter storm that caused a power outage at the plant quickly escalated into a disaster, leaving thousands of...
The longer summer goes on, the weirder it gets here in the Missed Connections. From people who smoke Netflix to unashamed beer belly rubbers in the hardware store, everyone's letting it all hang out this week. And don't get us wrong, we're all for it! If nothing else, it makes for some entertaining reading. We've got all kinds of stuff going on...
It must be a tough summer, because here in the Missed Connections, people are getting downright poetic about their lost loves. But not all the verses are sad -- you'll find REI-inspired poetry is every bit as hilarious as it sounds. It's also fun to imagine that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are sending star-crossed messages about their lost...
Summer is all about the extremes of the human condition. Sometimes you're having amazing experiences you'll remember all of your life. Other times, you're just trying to keep from collapsing with heat-induced exhaustion. If you've had any of the latter moments this summer (and god knows we probably all have), you'll relate to this week's Missed...
It's summertime -- time to be at the pool, time to get your car washed, time to try your luck at the Missed Connections. This week's crop is sure to hit home if you've ever been ghosted without warning… and haven't we all at one point or another? We've also got some car-related Missed Connections this week, with cell phone addicts at Carpool and...
If you too have sometimes cast longing looks in the direction of your Uber driver, this will be a very relatable Missed Connections week for you. Because in addition to the time-honored tradition of falling in love with our restaurant servers, this week sees quite a few people getting all twitterpated about their Uber drivers… and sometimes, it...
Congratulations to everyone who managed to survive the intense heat of the past week! If you're still here, you've got a return to the massive downpours of the previous year and a half to look forward to, so uh… congratulations? Before we worry about all that, though, we can dive into this week's Missed Connections and see what sort of intense...
Have you ever bought a beautiful stranger Taco Bell to catch her attention? It seems, if this week's Missed Connections are anything to go by, that this may be a successful strategy. I'll tell you one thing for sure: it's a strategy we here at RVA Magazine approve of. A strategy we don't so much approve of is waiting around to super-like people...
I don't know what it is about this summer, but a lot of people seem to have the post-Fourth Of July blues in the Missed Connections this week. Lovelorn poetry, bitter goodbyes, and solitary laments are thick on the ground in this week's trawl through the world of Craigslist. But don't get too sad -- there's plenty of amusing hijinks to keep your...
It's another week of Missed Connections from around the state, and this time around it brings us a lesson: sometimes it's best to come straight out and tell people who you are and what you want. Like if you're a soccer mom who wants to buy some weed for those long late mornings when the kids are out of the house. Or if you work in a warehouse and...
