Glamour bar's swing dancing night returns, the Roots and Shoots organization is screening a film about their founder, Jane Goodall, which contains some never before release footage. Amy Sommers is sharing what she unearthed about the disappearing historic buildings of Shanghai, and on Sunday, you can eat all the ice cream you want for breakfast.
