Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where things are getting intriguing! Honestly, during the pandemic, it's been all I could do to find enough decent MCs to fill up a weekly article. However, this week shows signs of hope -- I was actually able to narrow it down to the best ones. Maybe this means we're all getting out of our houses,...
Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, where… look, it's too soon to start talking about things "getting back to normal." We're still months away from that (Aside: if you haven't booked your vax appointment yet, go do that shit! This article will still be here afterwards). But people are definitely getting excited about leaving the house...

Mom's only got $80 for bail money, but that's OK, because you just want to have a good time, right?

Getting back to what you can look forward to in this week's...

If you're looking for St. Paddy's Day content, we surprisingly didn't get that much this time around (I blame COVID, for this and for everything else). But we've got plenty of other action this week, so don't hesistate to dive in, even if the...
One year ago, students at several Virginia universities were on spring break when they received notice they would not return to campus. Students said the past year has been devastating and disorienting, but they have also grown from the experience. Shayla McCartney remembers where she was when the pandemic closed her university. “It...
A year later and we're all still here, posting Missed Connections from the safety of our quarantine bunkers and counting the days until our vaccine appointments. This week, though, you can spend a few moments taking your mind off the lingering anxiety by indulging in tales of possibly stolen motorcycles that may or may not have pulled up at the...
If you're looking for your silver fox, this week's Missed Connections might just be the place for you. We may still all have a few more months before things can really go back to normal, but a year into the pandemic, a lot of us are busting at the seams, and our lusts are spilling over into the world of Craigslist. But there's still some pretty...
