Editor's Note: We are an official media sponsor for February Fire which will be held February 28th at Homegrown VA. Weed has been the diadem of rebellious youth for generations, a product so diametrically opposed to the capitalist urge that its use conjures images of...
When women cyclists struggled to find gear without making special orders, the women behind Carytown Bicycle Co. took the situation into their hands -- and made their own. When Emma Troy, a mechanic at Carytown Bicycle Co., first started going on group rides, she felt like she had to be someone she wasn’t in order to fit in. “For the longest time,...
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 Yu-Gi-Oh tournament that came to the Greater Richmond Convention Center last month drew a far different sort of card fanatic than you'd find at the poker tables.

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 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...
