Hey, did you know The A.V. Club has six local sites? Every day, writers in Austin, Chicago, Denver, Madison, Milwaukee, and the Twin Cities are posting about music, films, and other events and news happening in their cities. Whether you live in one of these cities or elsewhere, there’s plenty of great local stuff that’s worth a look. Here’s a round-up of what caught our attention this week.
• Milwaukee reminisced about the 2008 controversy surrounding the city’s bronze statue of Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli.
• Denver got some advice about some Valentine’s Day dos and don'ts from DeVotchKa’s Nick Urata.
• Austin followed a campaign to name the city’s solid wastes department after Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and made a few additional suggestions.
• Chicago took stock of how the version of the city portrayed in the new Fox drama The Chicago Code stacked up to reality.
• Madison, still celebrating that Packers Super Bowl victory, pondered the rumors that former Packer (and sexting star) Brett Favre might appear on the next incarnation of Dancing With The Stars.
• The Twin Cities marveled as hometown hero Prince gave a wooden Kim Kardashian the boot from the stage of his Madison Square Garden show.
