Week Around the Ists

Published Jun 29, 2008 · 3:29 AM PDT
  • Gothamist enjoyed watching New York City's latest big public art project--four multi-story man-made waterfalls--rise up in East River and the debate about whether it's art or folly (but they sure look pretty at night).
  • Londonist handed out advice on how to queue for Wimbledon tickets, then embarked on a gruelling fact-finding tour of drinking-holes at the capital's main terminus rail stations.
  • Seattlest attended the U.S. Regional Air Guitar Championships, and lived to tell about it.
  • Phillyist explored the career choices left to a recently-fired news anchor.
  • Torontoist interviewed Ben Stein and took a critical look at his new film, Expelled, just released (and all but universally panned) in Canada.
  • SFist was in awe over the ultra-modern and ultra-tidy Toto toilets at the Google San Francisco offices.
  • DCist debated the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down the District of Columbia's handgun ban and made sure readers knew they couldn't just run out and buy a gun this weekend.
  • Bostonist attended the Day of Portugal Parade (complete with Portuguese Elvis) and reported on terrorist turkeys in Martha's Vineyard.
  • Shanghaiist cannot wait for the next great big erection to hit the city skyline.
  • LAist reported that while Hollywood big shots may have been buzzing on Tuesday about Barack Obama's first Los Angeles visit since he emerged as the Democratic nominee, there was a buzz of another sort going on that same night underneath Hollywood, while 400 Red Line subway riders were stranded for 80 minutes thanks to a broken down train.
