I just found out you won Major League Baseball’s “Breaking Barriers” essay contest. What was your essay about? The Jumobtron didn’t say.

Want to See Stretched Images of Cuban’s Mansion?

Claire St. Amant — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:40:25 +0000

I came across this ridiculous video, which is just a series of Google Maps images set to a loop of techno beats, and felt compelled to share. This is mainly because misery loves company, but there are a few cool views of Casa de Cuban, so it won’t be entirely a waste of time.

Woman Chases Phone Thief Throughout NorthPark

Andrew Plock — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:56:44 +0000

In the longest thief foot chase — although I have nothing to put this claim against — in NorthPark history, a woman chased down a man who had stolen her phone at 5:55 p.m. last Monday while she was dining at La Madeleine.

The thief snatched her $500 iPhone from the table she was sitting at and took off towards Center Park. The victim immediately bolted after him as he weaved through the garden area and ran out the North doors by Kona Grill.

She did not let up as the suspect cut through the parking lot towards Park Lane, but eventually lost sight of this cross-country criminal as he crossed over North Central Expressway.

The map shows the potential path they may have taken and here is my unofficial distance ran by the two: Far.

This event took place a day before NorthPark announced their new curfew for 17-year-olds and younger. Which would have nothing to deter this ruffian who was believed to be in his late-20s or early-30s.

My only thought: Why does no one find a woman chasing a man through the mall suspicious?

Bushtracker: George W. Endorses Romney

William James Gerlich — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:30:38 +0000

I like to keep my eye on George, especially since he’s a PH resident. And right now, my Twitter feed is blowing up with news from the former president.

“I’m for Mitt Romney,” Bush told ABC news as an elevator closed on him in D.C. about an hour ago.

Personally, I knew it was a matter of time before he joined his father, mother, and brother in endorsing the former Massachusetts governor. I just wonder if his endorsement will make as much of a splash as this one.

Kent Rathbun, Fashion Model

Bradford Pearson — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:58:07 +0000

To the left you’ll see chef and Devonshire resident Kent Rathbun, being rather un-cheffy.

That’s the cover of the Chefwear catalog, which, for some reason, comes to the home of D editor Tim Rogers. In addition to his sartorial stylings, let’s all just take a minute and think “Hey, Rathbun must be doing pretty well if he can afford that ride.”

Stop by his Knox-Henderson haunt Abacus and Plaza at Preston Center restaurant Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen to razz him, if you so desire.
