In Los Angeles, LAist most definitely celebrated Thanksgiving like no other. After all, one has to keep up all the energy to keep on walking the line at the Writers Strike and fighting the unfortunate return of the wildfires in Malibu, which single handedly destroyed over fifty homes within the first 24 hours. National outlets may be covering the fires, but CNN also found it is easier to buy a gun than fruit and......

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King, and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman's out......

Walking to work through Love Park today, we noticed that the fountain was off and the water had been dyed a dark shade of red (as opposed to October/Breast Cancer Awareness Month pink). A few people were milling about, installing caution tape around the perimeter of the fountain. We decided to investigate. Upon closer inspection (and by closer inspection, we mean we walked toward the fountain and read the tape), we saw that the caution......

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,......

Justin Solonynka has been performing his virtuosic piano blend of "Jazzical Fusion Pop 'n' Roll" for audiences throughout the greater Philadelphia area for the last ten years. He'll be performing at the World Cafe Live, Friday, April 13, 2007, at 7:30PM. Now this isn't just any performance, this is specifically for The Key of Hope benefit. World Cafe Live is teaming up with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to find a cure for Inflammatory......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. The cover art for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows can be seen here (although, word of warning: we had a hard time viewing it in IE7). It's creepy and cool! We weren't a big fan of the most recent entry, but some part of us still loves the Re-Animator movie series, and the concept we'd heard for the upcoming sequel......

Last summer, some friends of ours - let's call them "Mom and Dad" - went to a concert celebrating a variety of Jewish artists. They thought they were going to see a klezmer band. But the show was running late, and what they saw instead was Matisyahu, a Hasidic Reggae artist. Sound a little odd? Mom and Dad were surprised too... at how good he was. Matisyahu’s rap skills are outstanding, and while his......
