The Gothamist group, aka the “Ist” group has been busy with the launch of 3 new blogs across the network, 2 covering cities outside of the United States.

Phillyist naturally covers Philadelphia. Shanghaiist takes the network to China for the first time (in English) and Praisist to France with a French language blog. The Gothamist network now has 13 blogs (and are obviously not the least big superstitious).
