Hey Dodger fans! While the Blue Crew is sticking it to the Giants on the field, here are two ways you can stick it to their fans online: First, invade San Francisco's website and enter the Giant's AT&T Summer Series.

As a girl with little money and parents who love to dine out, I often find myself eating with them on a Friday night. And I often have to twist arms to get to go to place I want (cough cough: Paco’s Tacos or Hide Sushi). Well, last Friday I was unable to twist the arm that feeds me. My step dad headed out towards Marina Del Rey hoping to take us to CPK or Souplantation (God forbid) or Nichols.

The weeks starts out right when a sucker punch on the field lands Chicagoist in the middle of a Sox/Cubs throwdown and the fists continue to fly in the comments. Despite suburban resident Ms. Pinney's best little try no books will be banned anytime soon and the El is really really gross.

So, what's next for the Dodgers? LAist will move forward with what we hope is a reasoned analysis.

Nothing says summer like food festivals.

Is the LA River really a river? Flowing from headwaters in the San Fernando Valley through to Long Beach, where it meets the ocean, the LA River that most of us see is less river and more concrete spillway. Yes, the one in Grease. LAist was recently out to a portion of the river with a naturalist and photographer from the East Coast. "I've never seen anything quite like it," he said sadly of the paved channel.
