Mayor Danny Avula is at a defining moment. The same for the 2004 Elected Mayor law. Here’s why. Then a win-win-win. The 16-year era of the race-baiting politics of former Mayors Dwight Jones and Levar Stoney needs to come to an end. They and their cronies have used...
If you're looking for love in all the wrong places, take heart -- you just might find it in the Missed Connections. We've got a bumper crop for you, from those seeking their only true love to those who really just need a shower. This week's column also produced the most relatable Missed Connection I've seen all year -- the person who thought the...
It's too hot outside to walk -- we all get that. But if you took an Uber instead of hoofing it this week, you just might find yourself in the Missed Connections, where it seems all the lovelorn Uber drivers of the Commonwealth have chosen to congregate this week. But they're not the only ones seeking their momentary crushes; some are looking for...
This summer is getting rolling, and things are heating up in the Missed Connections this week. Unfortunately, things don't always go smoothly -- which is why people end up here in the first place. This week, we've got someone who appears to be looking for a dungeon master -- in the role-playing game sense, that is. Which still sounds dirty, now...
It's that time once again -- time for the Missed Connections, where every week we hear from a broad swath of Virginia -- the hopeful, the forlorn, and of course, the kiiiinda creepy. This week, we learn that backyard showers are apparently not just for beach houses anymore -- although if you have one, you better stay vigilant, because your...
It's really hot this week, y'all. I'm talking about the temperatures outside, but I could also be talking about the Missed Conections. Now that we're past Memorial Day weekend, I think we can all agree that it's officially summer in Virginia, and you can tell from this week's crop of anonymous internet flirtations. For example, we've got a...
May is heating up, and once again we find ourselves with a bumper crop of Missed Connections. The indubitable star this week is a middle-aged dad who's out there living that American Beauty life -- and not in a good way. But the rest of you who are getting out there and meeting people with no connection to your immediate family… don't get us...
Here we go with another spring edition of Missed Connections, in which we can plainly see that when the winter clothes went back into the closet, the tattoos went out on display once again. Based on this week's crop it seems like almost everyone in Richmond has tattoos... but then again, if you've lived here for more than a week, you already knew...
Many consumers are turning to thrifting as an eco-friendly alternative to shopping at the mall. Numerous resale boutiques and thrift shops have popped up in the Richmond area over the past few years, giving people more options than ever. With warm weather creeping upon us, now is an opportune time to update your summer wardrobe. From Short Pump...
Welcome to this week's Missed Connections, where love is in the air and the creeps come out of their caves. Whether you're farting on your coworkers or drawn to them like magnets, rest assured you'll find a match (or please light one, if you're the former). From falling for patients who fell on hospital floors, to strangers at bars in Carytown,...
