LAist began the month with a new food series exploring the popular and unknown late night eats around town. If a Top Chef winner opened up a late night spot in Los Angeles, denizens would flock it, yet the LA Times and other media might be wary. Turning to sports, the Dodger season was quite memorable in the way that it imploded and the LA County Sheriff's Department made some games of their own such as "Operation Any Booking," where the object was to arrest as many people as possible within a specific 24-hour period (some might suspect these cops can be found on HotChicksWithDoucheBags). The crazy stories continue in an interview with Brandon D. Christopher, author of Dirty Little Altar Boy, and a Santa Monica College Professor being blamed for the Burma web blackout.

Seattlest watches as an historic, uh, Denny's bites the dust. A local ski area puts in a mountain bike park for summer use and there's a lot going on in the fascinating world of transportation packages. Also, at least one baby is born as a result of last year's windstorm.

Although the Phillies eventually lost to the Rockies, Phillyist still celebrated them earlier this week. They also toasted the local theatre scene, caught some art, and reported on a novel local project. Oh - they're also having an affair and hanging out with musicians.
