Missed Connections: Flirty Thoughts on Freeways, Cheerful Help in the Library

Wondering if that guy thought you were hot? Was that girl actually smiling at you? Is it fate calling you or as hip-hop group Pharcyde asks "Was that twinkle in her eye just a twinkle in her eye?"

Maybe you’re crazy. But maybe, just maybe, you two should have met.

Missed connections are those chance encounters people can make every day. Some people try to reestablish those meetings through Craigslist. And every week, we’ll run a few from the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas.
