SFist witnessed a new apartment building tszuj the skyline with spectacular, gaudy turquoise aplomb, the (informal) renaming of the Mission/SOMA neighborhood border, the return of the Maltese Falcon, the Mayor Gavin Newsom mea culpa-ing over his Hawaiian getaway during the oil spill, and double-decker buses hitting the streets of San Francisco. Oh, and some baseball player named Barry Bonds is a liar whose pants, it seems, are totally on fire. LAist continues to cover the......

Sylvia St. James leads the masses at the House Of Blues’ Gospel Brunch in California. The Sunday menu there features cornbread muffins, hickory smoked bacon and sausage links, and an omelet station, along with inspirational hymns, motivational music, and Miss Sylvia’s vocal prowess (and official title of “Chief Mistress of Ceremonies for House of Blues Entertainment.”) Us lucky Austinites get our chance to witness her magic on Saturday afternoon during the 2007 Austin City Limits......

Clark is known for playing with realism and social documentary—mixing fact and fiction—and this cartoonish turn is an unwelcome development. It’s hard to tell whether he’s trying to be funny in these scenes, or what, but they definitely ring strange. As do the madcap chase scenes in which the kids try to get out of Beverly Hills by climbing over fences and through backyards.

An 80-year old passenger on an American Airlines flight originating in Austin apparently got disoriented as the plane neared its destination of Los Angeles. He got out of his seat and pushed a stewardess. Then he made his biggest mistake: he wandered into first class. Bad. Idea.
