Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist dollhouse furniture collectionThe 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...

It's like something from junior high.

"[Y]ou could be my Steve Jobs" -- with "benefits."

Jump on the karate bachelorette party trend before it's played out.

Hmm... does public finance girl know about Spanish class girl?

Her move to sit next to the hot guy on the train was blocked by another woman.

"I was the male with orange and blue painted nails..." Well, that could be anyone.

She was "obscenely beautiful" at the Brown Bag.

"I was the guy with the green shirt, the bulging eyes and the rapid breathing."

Not something you usually read on Craigslist: "Beyond all the typical things that make a woman beautiful, let me add that my most favorite external feature was your nose."

Just another meet cute while bow hunting.

Sometimes it's better to not be invited.

Stolen: a chainsaw.

Lost: a lamp.

What a sad case. It's very difficult to find a developer with the resources, vision, and commitment to take on a costly and risky project like St. Joe's. It's a shame that the hidebound conservatism of the neighborhood stymied the first and only realistic, pragmatic, and frankly very cool, project to come along in many years. I hope the church and the neighborhood gets one more shot, although I'm not optimistic.
