Oh yes oh yes, it's time for that annual spree of navel-gazing in which we count down our biggest stories of the year, measured in traffic, comments, likes and tweets. These are the stories that garnered the most attention, caused the most fuss, or tickled your collective funnybones the most in 2013. Let's start with number five.


Originally posted on April 27th, this story broke the news of the eviction of Divisadero BBQ joint Da' Pitt. Readers were pretty evenly split on this one -- it was either a long-overdue development ("Finally. This place was NOT good."), or just the latest business displaced by an influx of "entitled, ugly, skinny pants wearing, white, bratty transplants who overpopulate Divisadero at all hours blaring their shit music, drinking, smoking, and basically treating the block like it's their own personal Disneyland." That's an actual quote. As we learned 4 months later, the address will soon have a new tenant: 4505 Meats. Which you folks seemed pretty jazzed about.
