Gothamist.com is a popular news blog in New York City that averages over 30,000 unique visitors each day – frequently over 150,000 each week. That site has recently expanded to Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Starting Monday, I’ll be editing with my friend Mike Grass their Washington D.C. site DCist.com, which will enter a public beta phase that day. The official launch is planned for early September. If you’d like a sneak preview before Monday, drop me an email. (rob.goodspeed (at) gmail.com)
