We're taking a break from the serious issues of Occupy Seattle, and instead, taking a peak at the tender side. Love may, in fact, be in the air at Westlake. more ›

• The Aurora Bridge "suicide" fence is going up whether Queen Anne likes it or not. The Seattle Landmarks and Preservation Board gave it the go ahead, hoping the $8.1 million project will help stop the suicide jumpers.
• Record-loving music geeks will be saddened to hear that the U-District's Cellophane Square has been forced to close their doors for good at the end of the month. Stupid rent hikes.

It would seem someone in Seattle not only likes Blayne, our uber-tanned licious-loving local on Project Runway: someone loves him. The self-described "crazy drunk boy at R Place" admits to hyperventilating after meeting The Blayne (oops, wrong contestant), but valiantly asks for another chance via Craigslist's Missed Connections. more ›

Today, the I Saw U and Missed Connections sections are chockablock with the requisite ads from Capitol Hill Block Party attendees looking for that one girl they saw that one time at that band's set. So if you have bleached blonde hair, a cute tattoo, or were wearing a pretty dress this weekend, your suitor awaits. On the other hand, if you are Heather Tanner, somebody found your wallet and would like to return it to you---and y'all know that we are decidedly pro-wallet-returnage. more ›

So Kirkland's Jason Mesnick did not end up with the bachelorette, despite all the blog commenters in his corner. The P-I has an interview with Jason today on life after one of the more public rejections you can receive (what's ABC's audience share these days?)--but if you take a look in the comments, you start feeling a little better for the guy. He's appreciated. Deeply. On a soul-level. Honestly, Cupid must be fat and lazy these days. Besides all the blog-love, some proactive women are on Craigslist's Missed Connections making sure he knows there are other connections he could be making. Va-voom. more ›

Some people complained about how hot and overcrowded the caucuses were yesterday; others took advantage of the high turnout to make politically simpatico acquaintances. A quick review of CL's Missed Connections reveals that pre-Valentine's caucus love is in the air:

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow. more ›

A little while ago, we did a little data mining of the Missed Connections on Craigslist, to check Seattle's romantic pulse. Frankly it was feeble and thready. But we were hoping that with the onset of spring, things have picked up. more ›

As you know, there's a strict quota on mentions of Craigslist per quarter. Not too many, not too few. Our longtime favorite CL section is the Missed Connections (not altogether unsimilar from the Stranger's I Saw U ads), for their mix of inept stalking, momentary erotic yearning, and occasional literary gems. more ›
