Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist miniature stallionThe good thing about Craigslist: It's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations. The bad thing about Craigslist: It's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations.


Good or bad, we'll let you decide...

This person's really going the (2,900th) extra mile to return a bike.

You knew this was coming: someone looking for a date for the Trader Joe's opening.

Ahem, this "hostess for fantasy football draft" want ad really buries the lead.

The meat guy thinks she's a choice cut.

The most beautiful thing he's ever seen was at the DMV.

Watching someone "wander" through Target also sounds a little bit like stalking.

She's better than Pittsburgh.

He feels like Smallbany has brought them together.

Who knew there was so much flirting in TV fixing.

We think the word you're missing here is "woman."

Surprise, she's talking about a bear -- an actual bear. (OK, maybe not...)

I'm the guy in Seattle with the bike from Albany. I actually suggested that my wife ride it back there if we locate the owner. She was intrigued but the bike is a couple of inches too short for her. Some fellow craigslist busybodies (from Albany) remember seeing a "lost" ad that matches my description; they actually contacted the poster about a bike they spotted but it wasn't the right one. They are sure the bike I have is the lost one and are trying to contact the owner.

Val again-

We've found the owner of the bike. The bike did come from the Albany area but it moved legitimately with the owners girlfriend, who gave it to the current owner. So, nobody in Albany was looking for it after all. Owner described it to a T yesterday and came by today with the key for the lock and everything. Seems she left it on a bus and it either fell off of the bike rack on the bus or somebody took it off and tossed it on the boulevard by the bus stop.

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
