The 'Missed Connections' section on Craigslist is always a gold mine. You can find just about any and all kinds of stories in there and they never disappoint.
From checking out the girl who's getting out of the cab at the local walmart to trying to hang out with the girl getting an oil change jamming out to some Goo Goo Dolls, the 'Missed Connections' section never disappoints.
A quick search on Craigslist for Grandma's Marathon will show you plenty of things for sale. It's like a black market for Grandmas Marathon entries. There's also a lot of lodging options for people desperate for even a place to pitch a tent.
Combing through the ‘Missed Connections’ section the local Craigslist can lead to some interesting finds. People will post some of the craziest things on there to try and catch someone that they missed or wished they would have said something to.
