Week Around the Ists

DCist reported live from the Democratic National Convention.
Bostonist tasted the best heirloom tomatoes in the city.
Torontoist featured some of their favorite photos of an extraordinary summer for the city's weather, with huge storm clouds, apocalyptic sunsets, double rainbows, and stunning lightning strikes the norm rather than the exception.

Torontoist featured video of an absolutely insane series of explosions at a propane facility in the north end of the city last weekend.
Despite an eventful week at the Olympics, Phillyist focused on local, Philadelphia teams.
Seattlest, freshly aware of their "Junior High Readability Level," implemented a new weekly feature spotlighting a local they’re totes crushing on. First up, a guy they met at the Seattle Tattoo Expo.

Gothamist watched a series of civil disobedience events, protesting the Sean Bell shooting verdict, unfold across the city--over 200 people, including the Reverend Al Sharpton, were arrested. Somewhat related, on behalf of a black freelance reporter for the NY Post, the NYCLU sued the city and NYPD for racial profiling.
Phillyist took a look at how city employees are bankrupting Philadelphia. Not that they need more cops on the streets there or anything.
Seattlest wondered what it means when we see shoes flung over power lines.
