Best Of VA Missed Connections August 28 – September 3

by | Sep 3, 2019 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

School’s back in here in Richmond, and if you’re riding the bus, you just might find yourself in the Missed Connections this week. After all, we’ve all gotta get there somehow.

We’ve got a bunch of fun stuff in the good ol’ MCs this week, from house flippers who want to flip more than just houses to athletic hikers and flirty Food Lion shoppers. Plus a lady forklift driver, which is a rejected Prince song title if I’ve ever heard one, and a Vietnamese food fan who really just wants to check out everyone’s feet. Putting the sandals into early retirement might not be a bad idea this year.

Finally, if you’ve got some donuts your hookup partner isn’t into, the RVA Mag staff is always hungry. But you can spare us the spit.

Get sugary, Richmond.

You want me to spit in your mouth… (Fan)

But you never eat the Sugar Shack donuts I bring over when we hook up. What gives?
