Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse

- Chicagoist talked to Sarah Vowell, discussed Mancow’s return, and have been following the murder of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother as well as the search for Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew.
- Phillyist pondered the unfinished business between Philadelphia and Tampa Bay sports teams.
- SFist asked readers (who weren’t busy battling it out over the election) to take a moment to decide what should be done with the city’s mammoth Mervyns space after the retail semi-giant decided to call it quits this week.
- Bostonist couldn’t get enough of hometown icon (and living embodiment of PC computers) John Hodgman.
- Shanghaiist wondered if any of the 3,000 single men and women who attended this mass matchmaking session hooked up.
- Gothamist watched as the City Council extended term limits—in spite of two public votes limiting terms to two—allowing Mayor Bloomberg to run for a third term.

- DCist has word on a “pro-life” pharmacy’s grand opening.
- Seattlest was confused when the viaduct fall apart and Mariners fans weren’t sure how to pronounce “Zduriencik,” so naturally the time seemed right to for a screening of “Bassets for Obama.”
