Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse

Torontoist is one of thirteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Each Sunday, the editors of every site—from LAist to Londonist—choose their most interesting article, a list that is compiled into the network-wide feature Elsewhere In The Ist-a-Verse.

• Londonist had a preview of the clean and spacious new £800-million ticket hall at Kings Cross, before it inevitably becomes deluged and dirtied by hundreds of thousands of commuters.
• Seattlest was thankful for all the ways that Washington sports doesn't suck.
• LAist was all about being thankful this week, and its editors gave much of their thanks to Los Angeles itself.
• DCist scratched their heads when a crazy guy stopped traffic downtown to demand $200 million while standing atop a U-Haul van, throwing Molotov cocktails.
• SFist questioned this footage showing a BART cop using (excessive?) force again.
• Bostonist's outing to a Sonic Youth show was ruined by bad sound, so they came up with a plan for better rock shows in five steps.
• Chicagoist gave thanks for being alerted to the newest epidemic sweeping schools in the Midwest: ball-tapping.
• Gothamist was stunned when a man was killed for a seat on the D train and wondered about being locked in a subway car with a murderer.
