- Phillyist invited readers to listen to its contributors’ favorite music.
- Londonist welcomed in a new government, who moved quickly to block expansion at Heathrow Airport. But anyone who does fly to these shores should check out this awesome iPhone app that superimposes old photos of London onto the phone’s camera view.

- DCist was on the scene after a UPS truck crashed into Hirshhorn Museum.
