Most Richmonders haven’t heard about it, but the City of Richmond is rewriting the rules that will determine what can be built, and where, for decades to come. It’s called the Zoning Code Refresh, and right now, it’s quietly moving through the public comment stage. If...
Life uninhibited by the financial strain of healthcare: Rx Partnership works to provide Virginians with affordable medications across the state. Since 2003, Virginia nonprofit Rx Partnership and their associated clinics have helped provide access to free prescription medicine to over 68,000 uninsured Virginians, totalling over $150 million in...
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...
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...
