• SFist was sent back to the halcyon days of childhood after
  Lombard Street was transformed into a Candy Land game board.
• Gothamist was amazed that former Giants star Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty and will face two years in prison for charges related to the November incident where he brought an illegal gun into a Manhattan nightclub and accidentally shot himself because the gun was falling down his pants.
• Shanghaiist found a pretty disturbing ad from Sichuan—apparently you can get half off the cost of an abortion if you bring your student ID.
• Chicagoist stumbled upon this glorious manifesto—railing against Mayor Daley, his controversial parking meter deal, and the city’s high taxes, among other things—posted in the storefront window of a small business.
• LAist found out that not everyone in L.A. digs the food truck craze, when some restaurants banded together to get the cops to tow the trucks off their block.
• Londonist questioned whether it was appropriate for the heir to the throne to object to architectural plans without even having seen them.
• Phillyist went ’90s.
• Seattlest was glued to the TV this week, watching local dance group Massive Monkeys and local chefs Ashley Merriman and Robin Levinthal.
