But SFist's loss is, we suppose, Gothamist's gain. Not that they'll pay any attention to her what with their big celebrities and troll-like billionaire Mayor Bloomberg. They won't make her feel at home or give her treats or follow her every move with intense scrutiny and maybe-verging-on-mean snark. No, they'll just ignore her like every other starry-eyed ingenue who goes to the big city to seek fame and fortune.
But we have one more card up our sleeve. Turns out that Oakland had a little help from across the bay in securing their new zoo panda - named, SFist hopes, "So So Best". So keep an eye on our favorite Court TV personality, banana spokesmodel and rumored beard, Gothamist Jen.
