- Phillyist was all about the World Series this week: hating on the opposing team; waxng nostalgic; and generally getting psyched. Although the Phillies trail the Yankees one game to two in the Series, Phillyist remains optimistic: they have God on their side.

- Bostonist celebrated our beer epiphanies, just in time for pumpkin brews.

- LAist found out just how crazy the subway in LA can get thanks to a video called "Crackhead Hooker Maces Kid."

- Londonist attended a vigil against hate crimes, prompted by the recent death of the victim of a homophobic attack.
- Chicagoist focused on the more light-hearted things in life, celebrating the magic of Kelly Clarkson and pets.
- DCist visited the Washington Humane Society to get some ridiculously adorable photos of some of the pets currently there waiting to be adopted.
