Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
Torontoist is one of fourteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Each Sunday, the editors of every site—from LAist to Londonist—choose their most interesting article, a list which is compiled into the network-wide feature Elsewhere In The Ist-A-Verse.
- Gothamist readers commented extensively on the not guilty verdict of three NYPD detectives who were on trial for fatally shooting Sean Bell, an unarmed man, on his wedding day in 2006.
- It was an accident-prone week at Seattlest, where a train hit a girl, synchronized swimmers passed out, and
Starbucks stock sank. - The Philadelphia Primary may have ended Tuesday, but Phillyist was still able to get a week‘s worth of Primary Election content.
- SFist cheered twice this week: first, after a Superior Court judge halted the light brown apple moth aerial pesticide spraying; and second, after receiving reader mail regarding blatant multiple chemical sensitivity prejudice.
- Shanghaiist was amused to see Spiderman washing the windows of the Sheraton Hotel.
- Even without the Coachella Festival, music was a big deal this week on LAist, with the NME Awards and The Smashing Pumpkins’ induction on Hollywood’s RockWalk.
- DCist followed the court decisions in favour of the impending change of the city’s taxicabs, which would see their weird zone system replaced with regular time and distance meters.
