• Bostonist tasted the best heirloom tomatoes in the city.
• Gothamist looked at restrictions of different kinds, interviewing Graffiti Research Lab founder James Powderly who was detained in Beijing and hearing from a reader who was ultimately ejected from Yankee Stadium for attempting to use the bathroom during “God Bless America.”
• Shanghaiist was amused by the news of the “iPhone Girl” who has become the world’s latest Internet superstar.
• Seattlest got ready for Bumbershoot and the Penny Arcade Expo.
• Phillyist discussed an athlete its city loves to hate.
• Chicagoist, while Gustav inches its way to the US coastline, noted the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
• LAist posted the photos of a guy who got roughed up by security at the Hollywood Bowl Radiohead concert.
• Londonist enjoyed the sights of the Notting Hill Carnival.
