Love me some Craigs List: for jobs, lost & found, those all important “missed connections”, AND for travel advice.
The advice is often excellent, nuanced and insightful; but what I like best are those areas of the forum that read like stand-up comedy. Okay, maybe high school stand-up comedy but it cracks me up every time (at least, the LA version does, but I suspect NY, Chicago and other cities have just as many pithy posters). A recent highlight was a discussion on the merits of New York City that degenerated into a virtual smackdown (the term “moron” got a real good workout).
Among my favorite Q & As:
Q: Need info about NM and AZ!
A: Sure, they’re two states between CA and TX!
Q: Tell me about passport expeditors!
A: There are also palm readers, about as useful.
Q: How to know if on No Fly list?
A: Do you have a terrorist cell or something?
Q: Where is the best city/country to get pregnant?
A: How stupid can you be?
Besides the above, the site has great information. And, you’ll never be bored.
It is quite interesting the varied advice. Love all the arm chair quarterbacking.
