Week Around The Ists

  • LAist braved the rain to join the rally to save CoCo, aka Conan O'Brien, and gathered with hundreds of chanting supporters of the now-ousted Tonight Show host.
  • DCist was in a bittersweet mood after learning that the National Zoo's farewell event for panda Tai Shan, or as he's better known, Butterstick, would be sponsored by Land O'Lakes®.
  • Gothamist was surprised when a flight from Laguardia Airport was diverted to Philadelphia because a flight attendant was worried about an Orthodox Jewish passenger's prayer boxes.
  • Torontoist scooped the story behind a photo of a sleeping transit ticket collector that burned up Twitter in Toronto this past week.
  • Seattlest was totally grossed out by some super-duper greasy sewers.
  • Shanghaiist went crazy sexting in China just in case it gets banned, which it seems like it will.
  • Chicagoist reminisced about Conan O'Brien's 2006 visit to their fair city (including an interview with then-Senator Barack Obama) as Chicago's Conan fans rallied to support the beleaguered talk-show host.
  • Bostonist followed the Massachusetts Senate race, from the preemptive call for Coakley to Scott Brown's win, then looked ahead to 2012.

  • Phillyist prepared for its second Phillyist Framed exhibition.
  • SFist was delightfully surprised when Gavin Newsom admonished Obama for his stance on gay marriage.
