Chicagoist visited The Ledge at the Sears Tower (http://chicagoist.com/2009/07/08/a_view_from_the_sears_towers_ledge_2.php), the building's newest attraction that allows visitors to step out into glass boxes (http://chicagoist.com/2009/07/08/a_view_from_the_sears_towers_ledge_2.php?gallery0P ic=3#gallery) that jut out from the Tower's west side, allowing you to look straight down. All 1,353 feet (http://chicagoist.com/2009/07/08/a_view_from_the_sears_towers_ledge_2.php?gallery0P ic=13#gallery).
Phillyist nominated the administrators of the suburban pool club that allegedly kicked out a number of urban youth on basis of their race as its assholes of the week (http://phillyist.com/2009/07/10/asshole_of_the_week_29.php).
Shanghaiist took a in-depth look at the machinations behind the Xinjiang riots, from its beginning (http://shanghaiist.com/2009/07/07/the_xinjiang_riots_whats_happened_s.php) to the second day of violence (http://shanghaiist.com/2009/07/07/xinjiang_riots_act_2.php) to when everything finally started to calm down (http://shanghaiist.com/2009/07/09/xinjiang_riots_calming_down_time_fo_1.php).
Gothamist watched the uproar and agreement as Rep. Peter King complained about the media attention around "pedophile" Michael Jackson's death (http://gothamist.com/2009/07/06/rep_peter_king_blasts_coverage_of_p.php), prompting Rev. Al Sharpton to tell MJ's kids there was "nothing strange about your daddy." (http://gothamist.com/2009/07/08/sharpton_to_mjs_kids_nothing_strang.php) Naturally, Bill O'Reilly got the two men to discuss their POV's further (http://gothamist.com/2009/07/09/oreilly_has_rep_king_rev_sharpton_d.php).
Torontoist held their noses and tempers as a municipal workers' strike lurched through and past the twenty-day mark, and tracked strike (http://torontoist.com/2009/07/modest_mouse.php)-focussed (http://torontoist.com/2009/07/modest_mice.php) street art (http://torontoist.com/2009/07/vandalist_timely_reminder.php), overflowing trash bins city-wide (http://torontoist.com/tags/strikewatch), whiners (http://torontoist.com/2009/06/suck_it_up_hogtown.php), historical precedent for said whiners (http://torontoist.com/2009/06/historicist_trashed.php), literal cover-ups of waste drop-off sites (http://torontoist.com/2009/07/lakeshores_dump_sites_get_the_blues.php), mysterious new garbage bins (http://torontoist.com/2009/07/a_trash_bin_quandary_1.php), plane-pulled publicity stunts (http://torontoist.com/2009/06/city_workers_frustration_plane_to_see.php), and, of course, picket-line romance (http://torontoist.com/2009/07/and_they_call_it_picket_love.php).
Seattlest was kitchen-proud over two Seattle chefs making it onto Bravo's Top Chef (http://seattlest.com/2009/07/08/seattles_newest_top_reality_tv_chef_2.php) and a local cookie-maker showing up on Rachael Ray (http://seattlest.com/2009/07/10/cookie_makers_minis_make_it_to_the.php).
Bostonist learned the difference between vampires and blood fetishists (http://bostonist.com/2009/07/10/joseph_laycock_vampires_today.php).
LAist watched their city host a mega-memorial (http://laist.com/2009/07/07/so_little_so_much_jacksons_daughter.php) for Michael Jackson that cost a whole lot of lunch money (http://laist.com/2009/07/08/nearly_49k_spent_on_lapd_lunches_fo.php).
Londonist welcomed the clarification of the right to take photographs of the police (http://londonist.com/2009/07/metropolitan_police_publish_photogr.php), but wished it could be a bit less vague and confusing.
DCist took yet another ride on the Marion Barry-got-arrested-train, this time on charges of stalking his ex-girlfriend (http://dcist.com/2009/07/marion_barry_arrested_on_stalking_c.php). The charges were promptly dropped, but not before revelations surfaced that the D.C. Council member may have improperly hired the same woman as a "political consultant." (http://dcist.com/2009/07/barry_hired_ex-girlfriend_as_patron.php)
SFist erupted into a firestorm after posting about pushy park rangers "abusing their power. (http://sfist.com/2009/07/05/overzealous_park_rangers.php)"
