Beltway Gets -isted: Welcome, DCist

Gothamist has worked our way back to the East Coast, after launching Chicagoist, LAist, and most recently SFist, by bringing the Beltway and DCist. Edited by Mike Grass and Rob Goodspeed, DCist has been covering issues like area bike messengers, the trials of DC public transit, casting calls to be in the next Vin Diesel movie, and freak taxi accidents. And Gothamist loves the story on Mike and Rob's history:

Mike had to actually fire Rob from the editorial board of The Michigan Daily a few years back because of Rob's side activism. But now they're friends and are able to co-edit DCist pretty peacefully.

That reminds us of Jen and Jake's "friendship" that's been built on bribery, guilt, and lies - which is all very DC.
