It’s early afternoon at Kuba Kuba, and the place is buzzing. Coffee cups clatter, plates hit the counter, and over it all, Melissa Vaughn is already in motion. Before we’ve even ordered our food, she’s out of her chair, greeting someone at the table next to us like a...
A plague is loose on the land, and any Missed Connections out there right now are just gonna have to stay missed for a while. But hey, we can still read about them, right? In this trying time, let's get the little bits of joy where we can. Like, for example, the guy who still fantasizes about his unrequited high school sweetheart kicking him in...
It's surprising to see just how strongly the Missed Connections roll on regardless of the fact that we're all quarantined in our homes. Personally, I've only been around other people once in the past week -- I was at the grocery store, frantically trying to grab some toilet paper. How is it still out of stock everywhere? Do some of you have...
It's an interesting week in the world of Missed Connections, because right now, all any of us can think about is how much we want to miss a connection with COVID-19. That's a thought some Missed Connections posters had this week, but as others prove, we can't all sit alone in our houses forever without longing for companionship. And that's an...
This week's Missed Connections asks a burning question -- do you like to shave? Not yourself, but… other people? If so, there's someone out there looking for you. Don't worry, you're not gonna get paid, so it'll have to be for the love. And you better bring your own clippers. Sounds great, right? That's not all we've got for ya this week, though...
Valentine's Day is less than a month in the rearview, and already the Missed Connections are full of regret. In particular, there's apparently a turtle out there looking to form a mutual Cupid's-arrow-removal pact. This is one time I think y'all might be extending the metaphor a bit too far. But at least it's entertaining, right? Sometimes you...
In the depths of winter, it seems the Missed Connections are getting truly bizarre, and none of it is more bizarre than the person who wants to switch bodies with someone in a nursing home. That's a pretty strange obsession there, friend, but hey… keep 'em coming. This is why we head back to Craigslist every single week. This week also brings us...
It's wintertime here in RVA, and we've all gotta keep warm, whether we're doing so by wearing vegan leather, eating Hot Pockets, or paging through the Missed Connections looking for a friendly person to cuddle up to. If you're a sexy barber, a tatted-up security guard, or a frequently-flying Spongebob fan, someone's looking to cuddle with you...
Valentine's Day is almost here, and the Missed Connections are here to prove that all some of us really want is someone to make us feel special. Meanwhile, others of us are total creeps who have no idea what constitutes appropriate public behavior. Just because we're laughing at your Craigslist post doesn't mean we approve in any way, you...
Richmond-based nonprofit HCB2 works to prevent colorectal cancer through education, support, and the Boxer Brief 5K. When Rich Conklin passed away in January of 2011 due to colorectal cancer, his wife Mindy Conklin, who was a county mental health therapist, found she needed to take a step back from her work. “During that time I thought, you know...
