There's no clever way to say it: This is the last word from Bostonist. Last week, Gothamist informed me that Bostonist will be going on hiatus and the blog will be shut down. At least we outlasted the 2011 Red Sox.

I've thoroughly enjoyed writing the blog and I hope you've enjoyed reading it. Hopefully, the hiatus is temporary and we can build a better Bostonist in the future.

My predecessors here, Rick Sawyer and Kerry Skemp, were a huge help to me once I became a contributor. The crew at Gothamist was always very supportive, too.

Most of all, I have to thank anybody who has ever read Bostonist in the past year or so since I became the editor. I appreciate knowing that so many people chose to visit this site to get my perspective on what happens in the world.

As for me, I'll miss Bostonist. However, nothing is forever. I've enjoyed it. Sometime soon, I'll be contributing to Gothamist. You might even see my name in other places. You can always find me on Facebook or by email.

Peace.
