Phillyist was all about the World Series this week: hating on the opposing team; waxng nostalgic; and generally getting psyched. Although the Phillies trail the Yankees one game to two in the Series, Phillyist remains optimistic: they have God on their side.
SFist witnessed two things fall apart this week: the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, which shut down after a cable snapped and struck traffic, and Mayor Gavin Newsom's gubernatorial aspirations.
DCist visited the Washington Humane Society to get some ridiculously adorable photos of some of the pets currently there waiting to be adopted.
Chicagoist focused on the more light-hearted things in life, celebrating the magic of Kelly Clarkson and pets.
Seattlest indulged in some Washington State-sponsored earthquake disaster porn.
Torontoist checked out the planned designs for a forthcoming subway station in the northernmost part of their city, which looks an awful lot like how people in the 1960s imagined things like subway stations would look today.
Bostonist celebrated our beer epiphanies, just in time for pumpkin brews.
Shanghaiist worried about the state of Chinese youth after a cellphone video showing a vicious schoolyard beating in Shanghai was uploaded to the internet. According to one survey, one in four kids in China have faced similar violent incidents.
LAist found out just how crazy the subway in LA can get thanks to a video called "Crackhead Hooker Maces Kid."
Londonist attended a vigil against hate crimes, prompted by the recent death of the victim of a homophobic attack.
Gothamist learned that Vespa owners are resorting to illegal measures (okay, scraping off their vehicle ID numbers) to keep their scooters on the street, not that it'll help.

I like that Austinist isn't even included in these...the difference in quality between Austinist and the other -Ist blogs is insane. So so bad. And nobody comments!
