Week Around the Ists

Staff

  • SFist received this image from a nightclub owner frustrated his iPhone service, or lack thereof.
  • Shanghaiist poo pooed people who praise our city’s skyline way too much by showing off what may be one of the ugliest buildings in the world – the Ping An Insurance building, which not only boasts ionic column after column for 40-something-stories, but is topped off with a giant, shiny, Roman dome. Just the thing to be built smack dab in our bustling, Blade-Runner-like financial center.

  • DCist celebrated D.C. Fashion Week with a week-long series of interviews and photo galleries featuring five local designers and their work.
  • Seattlest bemoaned our statistically crappy summer and the fact that we couldn’t even see the harvest moon that officially rang in fall.
  • Phillyist debated Vick versus Kolb for quarterback, just days after a book about the Michael Vick dogs hit store shelves.
  • Bostonist notes a spree of on-campus crime, frets over the idea of paying for the Globe online, and checks out a rally to legalize marijuana.
  • Londonist protested at the Pope, redesigned the escalator and relived the Blitz in an abandoned Tube station.
