Much to the surprise of blogophiles this morning, two of the most interesting Brooklyn based bloggers to come on the scene in the past year have apparently turned in their passwords – at least for the time being.

Right in Bay Ridge, after hitting their proverbial dinger (celebrating their 20,000th hit just last week) has chosen to hang up its cleats.

Described by one reader as a ‘warm glass of milk before bed,’ Right in Bay Ridge was part postcard, part treatise – a veritable menagerie of everything Bay Ridge pastoral, bureaucratic and even bucolic.

And if Righty was, in fact, your warm glass of milk, Gotham City Insider was a cup of cart-coffee right after your morning rush-hour commute.

A discographical junkie and pop-culture encyclopedia, whose frequency of blogging was only surpassed by his range, GCI didn’t just blog – he carved up the blogosphere.

- been nice bloggin’ with ya, fellas.
