It was a bad week for hipsters at Chicagoist. A hipster post-grad map of inhabitable U.S. cities inexplicably omitted Chicago; a flyer demanded "white hipsters" leave the predominantly Mexican Pilsen neighborhood; and they obtained an email from Pabst announcing they were leaving suburban Woodridge for Los Angeles.
Week Around The Ists
DCist started its week, as the rest of the country did, with news that Osama bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan. A spontaneous celebration broke out at the White House, though we wondered if the hundreds of people who borrowed one of the city's shared bicycles to get to the celebration would be able to return them. After Osamamania cooled slightly, we considered a measure to put "No Taxation Without Representation" on the D.C. flag and applauded the Washington Post for realizing there are several young people in the District.

DCist normally would have spent some time analyzing the Washington Redskins’ draft class, if only we hadn’t been so distracted by Redskins owner Dan Snyder’s continuing legal tantrum against the Washington City Paper or defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth’s claims that a woman he allegedly sexually abused “was just upset [he] had a white girlfriend." (Who are we kidding? Any draft analysis would have just ended up taking a back seat to lion cub training photos and outdoor movie festival anticipation, anyway.)

This week Seattlest celebrated the 50th birthday of our most recognized landmark, and the feeling of pride continued when City Council actually took decisive action against businesses guilty of wage theft. While Chicago contemplated hiring one of Seattle’s former police chiefs, the current one performed a particularly stunning example of what The Wire fans recognize as ‘juking the stats’.

Chicagoist food editor Anthony Todd dined at Next, the new restaurant from Grant Achatz, and brought back the photos to prove it. A photo of Chicago from the vantage point of the International Space Station had readers in awe.
Week Around The Ists
DCist had a fine time poking fun at its neighbors to the north and south this week, as a non-descript group of large white letters spelling out "LOVE" in Dupont Circle ended up being an advertisement for Virginia tourism, Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors came up with some truly unoriginal names for several new Metro stations, and Maryland’s Preakness Stakes unveiled "Kegasus" -- a marketing abomination that might just signal the end of civilization as we know it.

Over at Chicagoist, Art Shay shared some never-before-seen mementos of his friendship with Nelson Algren in honor of what would have been the author's 102nd birthday. They gave readers a sneak peek of the new Lake Bluff Brewing Company, interviewed author David Sirota, weighed in on Screeching Weasel frontman Ben Weasel's punching of a female heckler at SXSW,and started getting stocked for this summer's Downtown Sound series lineup.

Chicagoist was very visual-themed this week. Art Shay's weekly peek into his photography archives focused on his time in postwar Japan with the MacArthur Occupation. They found a map that, while not taking the lay of the land into consideration, did give some idea of how a tsunami the magnitude of the one that hit Japan could damage Chicago. Another map they discovered (for $600) was cut out from an exacto knife and one large piece of paper. A New York Street artist named Gaia left her calling card across the city. And, for St. Patrick's Day, the staff created a bingo game based on the cliche that "everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day."
Week Around The Ists
Gothamist watched as the Big Apple’s bicycle wars boiled over with a group of Brooklyn residents suing over a new bike lane in Park Slope (appropriately timed right before a public hearing about them) and reports of more bicyclist tickets. At least there was a bad half-ro haircut to lighten things up.
