Reading Craigslist, I feel like a harmless peeping Tom, peering into the intimate details of the lives of weird people. I catch myself searching through every section of the website, acting not unlike a virtual anthropologist, trying to understand the lives of people in Asheville (and elsewhere) through their advertisements.
What do these people lose? What do they sell? What kind of small jobs are they offering or looking for? Unfortunately, Craigslist is so filled with Spam that the study loses a bit of its true force, but it really is interesting stuff. And it truly feels a bit naughty.
Still, how can you not laugh at the idea of someone losing one "very European" shoe?
Enjoy.
From Asheville Craigslist.com
From "Lost and Found" Section:
"Found, one right ocean shoe...white sole, blue netting, VERY European."
From the "Artists" Section:
"If you like unique art with an orientation toward the sacred feminine of nature, goddess themes, and Jungian in thought, then you might be interested in my original work. . . Thanks! Save the starving artists of the world!"
From the "Free Stuff" Section

This toaster oven has much more oven than it does toaster. It's big, chrome plated and utterly incapable of making toast. Good broil and bake settings though
