DumboNYC’s One Year Birthday

September 7th, 2007

DumboNYC has just passed its one year mark. Shortly after the Vanity Fair photo spread for Jun Watanabe’s fall menswear collection, I was cross posted on Curbed, Brownstoner, and Gawker. The spike in traffic crashed the server and I had to quickly move it to my current hosting service, asmallorange.

DumboNYC.com now receives 28,000 to 32,000 unique visitors per month and 55,000 to 65,000 page views per month. The site is regularly featured in NYMag, Curbed, Brownstoner, The NYTimes City Room Blog, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, The Brooklyn Paper, and Gowanus Lounge. Thank you to all who have made a connection.

In a little over one year, Dumbo has changed. From the start of this site, my goal has been to learn about the changes happening in this neighborhood and community. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey as much as I have.

Last but certainly not least, thank you readers for visiting and contributing to the site. This site would not be what it is today without your knowledge and insights. Here’s to continued learning and positive change in Dumbo.

Cheers!

    CONGRATS and happy 1-year anniversary! My one year anniversary as a DUMBO resident, albeit part-time, was also celebrated this past August: your site is a 2x-daily stop for me and I have learned much from my visits. Keep up the great work.

    Happy Birthday! I love the site and all the hard work you do. Keep it up! I’m sure it’ll only get better and better, just like the ‘hood.

    Congratulations…..you really do a very good job of keeping us informed. How about a story about the joint statement by the Dumbo Neighborhood Association, Brooklyn Heights ASsociation and the Fulton Ferry Association opposing the Dock Street project. It came down at least a week ago and got very little attention.
